Offered here, as Lots #349 through #364, is the lifelong collection of autograph enthusiast Tim Gallagher. At a very young age, Tim and his friends started to write athletes with self addressed envelopes requesting their signatures. What started as a hobby, quickly tuned into an obsession. From 1968 to the present, Tim has amassed an incredibly unique and significant collection of athlete-direct autographs. We are pleased to present these to the collecting public for the first time.
