Third Series: Minor toning. Green and cream publisher's cloth, lettered and pictorially stamped in gilt, all edges gilt, white silk ribbon; minor soiling, some wear to head and tail of spine. Each in custom clamshell case. Group lots not subject to return. Together three first editions of Dickinson's first three books of poetry These three collections were printed in runs of 500, 960, and 1000, respectively. Dickinson published only 11 poems in her lifetime. It was only after her death in 1886, that her sister discovered a locked box containing 1,775 of her manuscript poems. Mable Todd—a friend of Dickinson's, edited and published the three series. A disagreement between the Dickinson and Todd families led to the manuscripts being split, preventing the publication of a comprehensive edition of Dickinson's poetry for nearly 70 years.

The Property of a Gentleman POE, EDGAR ALLAN The Raven. New York: Wiley and Putnam, 1845 8vo. Half-title, integral adverts at end; "Tamerlane" and the adverts partly unopened, the half-title and last page of adverts foxed, but otherwise generally only the occasional stray spot and so unusually clean internally. Original printed wrappers; very slightly worn and lightly dust-soiled, but not overly faded, the lower joint neatly split about one inch at the tail, the spine only very slightly chipped at ends, the whole with a few minor closed tears along spine title skillfully repaired with no loss to text. Very much a superior example. Quarter blue morocco slipcase. First edition, first issue, in the original wrappers The Prescott-Manney Copy ..."the most important volume of poetry that had been issued up until that time in America" (Hervey Allen) The title-poem was first printed in the American Review in January 1845; "The Raven," writes Robertson, "Made Poe's name known both in America and England, and brought him an immortality that by no other means could he have attained ... [and it] give him fame as a poet such as no other American has received." The immense success of "The Raven" and its captivation of the public imagination (along with the strong reception for Tales) prompted the publisher to issue the present collection. Poe selected what he considered his best poems. This is a near-fine copy of one of the greatest American books of its age, and one of the most difficult to find in any acceptable condition in wrappers, given the fragility of the issue and a printing of what was originally only 750 copies (spread among two cloth bindings and the present issue). It is without doubt among the best obtainable, certainly equal to the copies from the Self and Martin collections, and perhaps bested only by the truly fine Tane copy in private hands.

2012 Olympic Team U.S.A Men's National Basketball Team Signed and Framed to 31x28" Team Photo with 17 Signatures Including LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Kevin Durant (PSA/DNA)

2012 Olympic Team U.S.A Men's National Basketball Team Signed and Framed to 31x28" Team Photo with 17 Signatures Including LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Kevin Durant (PSA/DNA) As the start of the 2012 Olympics neared, the heavily-favored Team USA looked like they were in serious trouble. No less than eight members went down with injuries that kept them from playing. Fortunately, Team USA was able to dip into the NBA talent pool and come up with a younger squad built around speed. Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant were the marquee members, and it was the latter saying, “It was something that was very personal to us to put our country back on top. It’s a different feeling playing for your country. When you’re playing in the NBA you’re playing for a particular city, but when you’re playing for your country those lines go away. It carries a great honor that goes above and beyond winning the NBA championship.” Kobe’s passion ignited the team to a perfect 8-0 record and they set an Olympic Games single-game record with 156 points scored against Nigeria in the preliminary round. Durant led the team in scoring with an average of 19.5 points per game, while Kevin Love recorded a team-high 7.6 rebounds per contest and Kobe added 12.1 points per game. In the Gold Medal game against Spain, Team USA led by a single point going into the fourth quarter. At this point LeBron James came alive, scoring a dunk and a three-point shot that put the game to bed. While the 1992 Team USA would always be the first “Dream Team,” many believed that this 2012 squad filled with younger, hungrier players would have gave Jordan and Company a run for their money. This display captures the victorious Team USA posing in front of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. All 17 members of the 2012 edition of the “Dream Team” have signed the color photograph in bold black marker including LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Kevin Love, Mike D’Antoni, Jim Boeheim, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, Mike Krzyzewski, Deron Williams, James Harden, Andre Iguodala, Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler, Nate McMillan and Jerry Colangelo. The signed photo has been professionally matted and framed along with a pair of USA Basketball logos and a plaque listing all 17 players and coaches. Framed to an impressive 31 x 28 inches, this signed piece pays homage to one of the greatest collections of basketball talent ever assembled. This piece comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (AA68010) for the signatures.
