The Rare Manuscripts, Books & Sports Memorabilia auction features historical material from multiple collecting categories.

Telephone and absentee bids will be taken, but there’s no live gallery bidding. “Our February auction offers many exceptional buying and collecting opportunities and is especially strong in the U.S. Presidential, Early American, Science and Sports collecting categories, with 25 lots relating to professional baseball, basketball, hockey, boxing, soccer and even horse-racing,” said John Reznikoff, the president and owner of University Archives. Mr. Reznikoff added, “The Aviation/Space, Entertainment, Literature, Art, and Music categories are also abundantly represented. February’s assortment of historical documents, rare books, photographs, relics, ephemera, exonumia, ceramics, apparel and sports memorabilia should start the year off with a bang. Collectors, mark your calendars for this important auction.” University Archives’ new offices are located at 88 Danbury Rd. (Suite 2A) in Wilton, Conn.
