10 Rare AUTOGRAPHS From HOLLYWOOD 1939 / BING CROSBY, Basil Rathbone, CHICO MARX

In the Spring of 1939, someone named Bob Copeland went to Santa Anita Park race track and got some Hollywood celebrities to sign his two racing forms. I can only identify 10 of the signatures - Bing Crosby, Basil Rathbone, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., James Stewart, Merle Oberon, Chico Marx, Joan Bennett, June Lang, Cy Kendall, and Polly Ann Young. Bob Copeland also signed each racing form and made a lot of notes on the races in the inside pages. The autographs on the first form are in ink and are in pencil on the second form. Side by side the racing forms measure approximately 8.5 x 9 inches and they have been matted to 14 x 16 inches. The forms are not in the best condition after all these years with moderate staining, especially at the top where the metal staples have rusted. They were obtained from Pristine Auction and come with a Letter Of Authenticity from JSA (James Spence Authentication), one of the three top memorabilia authenticators in the business.
