Tommy John Autographed Oakland A’s Shoes, Cap and More!
Lot 121. Tommy John Autographed Oakland A’s Shoes, Cap and More! John’s time with Oakland was relatively brief - from mid-July 1985 through the end of the season. Consequently, any game-used TJ memorabilia is difficult to come by. This group of MORE THAN 45 ITEMS includes game-used shoes, socks and an undershirt. John autographed each shoe and the undershirt. The signatures are mint 9. He also signed an A’s cap that is smaller than his typical size; mint 9 autograph. Another interesting collectible is a printed display matted to 11” x 14” and containing quotes by our abut John. For example, Tommy is quoted: “When they operated on my arm, I asked them to put in Koufax’s fastball. They did. But it turned out to be Mrs. Koufax.” John signed the bottom of the mat. His signature is also on two 8” x 10” photos, a 5” x 7” photo, two 1986 Topps cards and the covers of three booklets for his celebrity golf tournament. There also are 25 unsigned copies of the booklet, four team photos, two photos of John pitching and a 1985 team-photo pennant (ex). In addition, this group includes an OAL Bobby Brown baseball signed by John and Frank Viola and signed hardcopy and softcover versions of his autobiography, “T.J.: My 26 Years in Baseball.” These autographs are mint 9. Also, an unsigned pair of shoes, and unsigned undershirt, an A’s youth jacket by Starter and youth medium pants from Medalist. Generally, the items are ex-m, and the autographs are mint 9 or gem mint 10. They come with a letter from John saying they are from his collection. Autograph authentication by Kevin Keating. A total of 47 items including 16 Tommy John autographs!
