Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls home warm-up shirt from the 1989–90 season

Jordan’s game-used official white MacGregor Sand-Knit Chicago Bulls home warm-up shirt from the 1989–90 season, featuring “Jordan” in red across the back with his famous number “23” in red and black below. The shirt is lettered “Bulls” across the front, and their logo appears on both sleeves. Five tags are sewn inside just below the collar: the MacGregor manufacturer’s tag indicating a size of 46; an exclusivity label reading “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for Chicago Bulls”; a tag denoting the year, “89”; a fourth recording the custom alterations, “3 LB”; and a blank white strip tag. In fine condition, with light wear throughout. Accompanied by a typed letter from the original owner, noting that he acquired it at a ‘FestaBulls’ dinner auction held to benefit the organization’s charity, CharitaBulls. He also writes, in part: “These shirts were sometimes worn before the game and also during the game on the bench and sidelines, depending on the player’s preference.” The 1989–90 season saw Jordan lead the league in scoring for the fourth consecutive year with an average of 33.6 points per game. It was not until the next season that he led the Bulls to their first championship, going on to win a total of six throughout the rest of the 1990s. RR Auction COA.

Howard Carter Signed Harris and Ewing Portrait

British archaeologist and Egyptologist (1874–1939) whose 1922 discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in Egypt’s ‘Valley of the Kings’ proved to be one of the signal events in the history of archaeology. Magnificent vintage matte-finish 7.5 x 9.75 three-quarter-length portrait of Carter sitting in a chair, affixed to its original 9.75 x 12.5 Harris & Ewing photographer’s mount, signed in the lower left in black ink, “Howard Carter, 1924.” In fine condition, with mild silvering to dark areas of the image. In 1924, Carter gave 24 lectures about King Tut in the United States, and spoke in Washington, D. C. on May 8–9, when he almost certainly sat for this portrait at the Harris and Ewing studio. Carter returned to England that summer and returned to Cairo in December. This is the only Howard Carter signed photo we have ever encountered, and its bold signature and large size make it a superlative and probably unique specimen.

James Dean East of Eden screen test tie

Dean’s worn tie from his screen test for East of Eden. Multi-colored tie has a studio label sewn onto the reverse, with “Jim Dean,” written on the second line, dated “5/24/54,” on the first line along with “Prod. 810.” Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from David Loehr, curator of the James Dean Memorial Gallery, which reads, in part: “James Dean’s tie from ‘East of Eden.’ Tie worn by the actor in wardrobe tests for the movie, but not in the movie.” This tie was worn in a test of Dean and Dick Davalos, with the slate indicating the set being “Kates Office; Scene 142,” where Cal takes Aron to see ‘his mother’ which happens the night of the birthday party. In fine condition, with two small stains near the bottom. Dean was suggested to director Elia Kazan by screenwriter Paul Osborn.

John F. Kennedy unsigned handwritten notes

Kennedy’s unsigned handwritten notes on two off-white 4.25 x 7 lightly-lined sheets. Over 70 words in Kennedy’s hand, with complete transcriptions done by Evelyn Lincoln accompanying the piece. A sampling of the notes includes: “Mobilized resources however vast they may be.do [sic] not win wars—Barbara Ward Policy of the West,” “German armament; contingents no larger than brigade groups start at size of German force not to exceed 1/5 of all forces,” and “Says many communist in Italy are so because of domestic matters. Says one of the greatest difficulties of getting Italians to make war effort is that they do not feel that they are equal to other countries because of peace treaty.” A typed letter of provenance accompanies the notes and reads, “John F. Kennedy always kept a small, black notebook accessible so that he could jot down thoughts that came to him…After recording his thoughts he would tear out the page and keep it handy for future reference. The handwritten notes, which you now have in your possession, are two of those pages.” Archivally matted and framed with a portrait of Kennedy on the phone and jotting down some notes, with Lincoln’s transcripts affixed to reverse, along with the typed provenance, to an overall size of 24.75 x 17. In fine condition, with the writing on one page a couple shades light but still completely legible, and a couple trivial ink brushes to the second page. With a notable reference to British economist and Cambridge friend Barbara Ward’s Policy for the West, a book that greatly impacted Kennedy’s views on international politics, this item gives an extraordinary glimpse into the unedited thoughts of the future president. Oversized. RR Auction COA.
