Lindbergh, Walt Disney, Mickey Mantle, JFK, Marilyn Monroe, Grateful Dead, Ty

The collection, taking 38 years to amass over 2000 items, is the success
of one man, Mr. Doodle Harris. In the continued efforts of his admirable
accomplishment, a portion of proceeds from this auction will benefit charity.
Over $5 million has been invested in these items that have been monumental
in American History; they will all be sold with NO MINIMUM and NO RESERVE.
To give a brief glimpse of some of the items up for grabs: The Uniform
Transfer Agreement that set the "Curse of the Great Bambino" into action
trading Babe Ruth from Boston to New York, as well as autographed helmets from
every professional football team and many college teams. Presidential and
political items ranging from letters and papers from Presidents Nixon, Reagan,
Hoover, Teddy Roosevelt, Kennedy, Bush, George W. Bush, Clinton, Garfield,
Cleveland, and others to the Bible of Malcolm X, loans from the Union to the
Confederacy and a Life magazine autographed by Prince Charles and Princess
Diana with their wedding photos. There are numerous guitars and records
autographed by leading recording artists from the past 40 years to include:
Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Grateful Dead, The Beatles, Beach Boys, Led
Zepplin, and hundreds more. Autographed items from those who changed history
such as Albert Einstein, Charles Lindbergh, and the Wright Brothers. Also,
there is movie memorabilia from every movie and actor from The Wizard of Oz to
Star Wars to The Lord of the Rings.
Nothing like this has ever been seen, much less been sold. This is a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, that shouldn't be missed. The breadth and
depth of this collection is too profound to be put into words.
To add to this extraordinary sale, Red Baron's will hold it in conjunction
with its Spring Car Auction where over 100 collectible, luxury and exotic cars
will be sold (some cars will have a reserve).
