Religious personalities include newly canonized saints Mother Teresa and John Paul II.

From literature we have signed books from J D Salinger, Rex Stout, Stephen King, e. e. cummings, William Butler Yeats, L. Frank Baum and many more, also letters, an autograph quote from The Battle Hymn of the Republic signed by author Julia Ward Howe, and autographed material from other literary and arts notables. World Leaders include monarchs with a remarkable early autograph letter from the future British Monarch, King Edward VII. We will also be selling a large number of signed stock certificates including J. P. Morgan, J. D. Rockefeller and nearly 100 others!
