JIM BROWN’S 1964 NFL CHAMPIONSHIP RING, A 1954-55 TED WILLIAMS GAME-WORN UNIFORM AND THE FIRST AND ONLY TRUE “BASEBALL” CAR HIGHLIGHT THE LELANDS.COM SPRING CATALOG AUCTION

Auction, Which Closes July 25, also Features a Willie Mays Game-Worn Jacket, a Cy Young Handwritten Signed Letter and the Largest Collection of Boxing Tickets

New York, NY (July 7, 2014) – Jim Brown’s 1964 NFL championship ring, a 1954-55 Ted Williams “Harry Agganis” game-worn uniform and the first and only true “baseball” car – a custom-designed Volkswagen Beetle featuring a white exterior with red baseball stitches, Rawlings baseball glove seats, a baseball gear shift and baseball bat emergency brake – are among the one-of-a-kind sports memorabilia being offered as part of the Lelands.com Spring 2014 Catalog Auction, which closes July 25.

The auction at www.lelands.com also features a 1960s Willie Mays “It’s cold outside” San Francisco Giants game-worn jacket, a 1944 Cy Young handwritten signed letter in which the career pitching wins leader details the “best hitters” he ever faced and also discusses his mechanics and the soul of pitching, a locker used by Derek Jeter during the 2000 World Series, and a ticket stub from the 1935 game in which Babe Ruth hit the final three home runs – including the famed “714” – of his career.

Other spectacular sports collectibles up for auction include Mickey Cochrane’s 1929 Philadelphia Athletics World Championship ring and Hall of Fame introduction plaque, a 1938 American League All-Star team-signed baseball, Lou Brock’s Hall of Fame plaque, a Hank Aaron game-used glove, a ticket from Mickey Mantle’s Yankees debut on April 17, 1951, and a Honus Wagner T206 pose first-generation vintage photograph by Carl Horner.

In addition, the Lelands.com auction boasts the biggest collection of boxing tickets, headlined by a full, unused ticket from the 1971 Ali/Frazier “Fight of the Century,” a complete ticket from the 1964 bout in which the-then Cassius Clay defeated Sonny Liston, and a full ticket from Ali’s 1972 fight with Mac Foster, which is arguably the most beautiful of any Ali fight tickets.

The Lelands Spring 2014 Catalog Auction also features the actual saddle worn by Hall of Fame jockey Braulio Baeza when he rode Chateaugay to victory at the 1963 Kentucky Derby, celebrated sports artist Leroy Neiman’s “The Fighting Face of Muhammad Ali” boxing glove, and the only known signed photo of President Kennedy’s meeting with the 1963 World Champion Boston Celtics.

“From Jim Brown’s only NFL championship ring and Ted William’s 1954-55 game-worn jersey to the ‘baseball’ car, the boxing tickets and the personal collections of several Baseball Hall of Famers including Mickey Cochrane, Lou Brock and Red Schoendienst, this auction has it all,” said Lelands.com Founder and Chairman Joshua Evans.

Additionally, Lelands.com will be auctioning off an array of remarkable Americana and Rock & Roll memorabilia, most notably a cotton suit owned and worn by KFC founder Colonel Harland David Sanders, a 1970s Pete Townsend stage-used Gibson SG guitar, percussion pieces used by The Who’s Keith Moon during the band’s 1973-74 Quadrophenia Tour, and a signed Neil Armstrong photo.
