Picture postcard, dated 25 October 1969, sent by Velvet Underground guitarist Sterling Morrison to his then-girlfriend and future wife, Martha Dargan, from Austin, TX to their then-home in NYC:



The above postcard comes with this very rare 8 1/2″ x 10 5/8″ handbill for The Velvets’ 23-25 October 1969 residency at The Vulcan Gas Company, Austin, TX:

Both items originate from Sterling’s personal collection.

Not my favorite artist, but def. one of my favorite autographs - so much personality in these.

I couldn't resist this: a Biden signed 8x10 in the Situation Room when we killed Osama bin Laden in 2011. Picked it up in the last University Archives auction.

The expression on Hillary's face. Priceless!

A few nice finds as of late:

First printing of Michael Caine's "What's It All About?" Been looking for this one for quite some time.

Common's "Let Love Have The Last Word", first-printing (Premiere Collectibles edition). No COA, but for $4, I couldn't complain.

The (in)famous Barbara Amiel, wife of Conrad Black, memoir "Friends and Enemies". The first (and only) signed copy I've ever seen anywhere -- released during the pandemic, with (AFAIK) no signing events or other promotional blitzes that I've seen. Bit of an uncommon-to-scarce title to find, and quite the book. (Fun fact: Margaret Atwood allegedly based the title character in "The Robber Bride", a woman who preys on multiple men at once, at least partially on Amiel.) One of several items I picked up today.

Picked up a nice Roy Campanella this week, signed in ball point. Card is in pretty nice shape, off-centered but sharp.

Surprised no comments on this incredible piece. This has to be pre-accident so 1957 (as the card is) or very early 1958. This is a gem, congrats owning it!
