Provenance Notes: These autographed items are from my personal collection which I started accumulating in the late 1960s. All were purchased from reputable sources such as East Coast Book sales, Harris sale Galleries, Remember When Antiquities, Richard J. Cohen, Donald Dean of Discovery Gide, and estate sales. I also had a running advertisement throughout the 1970s, 1980s & 1990s in PCM (Paper Collectors’ Marketplace) through which I obtained a number of items.Note also that all of these were obtained before “COAs” becamepopular, so no such ‘certificate’ accompanied these items when I purchased them. I do, however,have a 100% favorable rating on and I alsoinclude my own personal money-back guarantee ensuring your complete satisfaction.
