MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTABLES — Topicals
	Lot	Condition	Description	Value/Bidding
	67		The ultimate in Olympic collectibles. A 1936 Hitler presentation book for the Berlin Olympics showing limited edition photographs (16) from many venues. Inside the front cover are two pages of actual signatures from many of the medaling athletes. Includes: Jesse Owens, Cornelius Johnson, Jack Medica, Ken Carpenter, Helen Stephens, and over 25 others from all over the world. Coach liked to tell the story that Hitler had had these made up just for the German signatures, but every athlete "just walked up and signed the records to be included in the book". Great story, better Olympic autographs. Some cover problems with a loose emblem and severed leather strap. But all parts are here and original. Please examine with care.	Cat.
