ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $500.00
Winning Bid: $870.96
Price Realized: $1,040.80
Auction Date:6/26/2005 9:00 PM EST

Fully executed contracts signed by some of the biggest-name athletes regarding licensing their images on trading cards, autographing equipment, etc. The money earned in such ventures often exceeds even their playing contracts, which is why there's so much fascinating legal paperwork here drawn up by top sports agents such as Arn Tellem, Leonard Armato and Mead Chasky. Most of the contracts are with Score Board Inc., which has had numerous Home Shopping Network shows featuring jocks hawking memorabilia. Others are with Classic Sports. Athletes include Shaquille O'Neal, Ken Griffey Jr., Mike Schmidt, Stan Musial, Ronnie Lott, Christian Laettner, Jamal Mashburn, Bob Welch, Frank Thomas, Frank Robinson, etc. The contracts, some with invoices, detail specific numbers of cards, balls, bats, etc. to be signed by the player, how many freebies they get for themselves, and so on. NRMT signatures of these athletes are on the last pages of the contracts. Among the jocks can be found an early '90s contract for George Burns for signed photos. Meaning you're never too old to cash in on your name. Contracts and Signatures are EX-MT/NRMT. 51 signed contracts total.
