Elvis Presley was, is, and will always be The King of Rock N’ Roll. With songs like All Shook Up, Don’t Be Cruel, and Suspicious Minds, he left an indelible mark on popular music. When performing for a stadium of 18,000 fans in Indianapolis during the summer of ‘77, nobody knew the show would be the 42-year-old icon’s last, except, perhaps, Elvis himself, who closed with the mysterious parting words: “We’ll meet you again, God bless, adios.” Of only 9 full tickets graded by PSA, #ELVIS is a 1977 Elvis Presley Last Live Performance Full Ticket graded PSA 8 with none graded higher.

Just days after the death of Marilyn Monroe, Andy Warhol produced the first of his Marilyn silkscreen portraits. Solidifying Warhol as master of pop art, the Marilyn portraits have continued to appreciate. On May 9th 2022, Christie’s auctioned Warhol’s “Shot Sage Blue Marilyn” to an unnamed buyer for $195M — a record for the most expensive piece of art ever sold. It isn’t only Warhol’s early portraits that command premiums at auction. The market for Warhol’s prints has regularly outperformed financial markets including the S&P 500, according to Art Radar Journal. #WARHOL1 is a 1967 Andy Warhol Marilyn Monroe Signed Print, 1 of just 250 examples.

1776 Broadside of the Declaration of Independence

Ray Cheng — Wed, 13 Apr 2022 13:50:00 +0000

Though today we honor the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4th with fireworks and hot dogs, in 1776 it took several weeks for most colonists to hear the news that would form the basis of American democracy. To alert the masses of independence, large single-sheet copies called “broadsides” were sent out from Philadelphia. Rally’s #1776 is a broadside copy of the Declaration of Independence printed in Exeter, NH after word finally reached the town on July 16. Formerly displayed at the National Constitution Center, #1776 is 1 of an estimated 20 privately-owned examples from July 1776.

OBAMA, LEBRON, KOBE, CARMELO & MAGIC AUTOGRAPHED PICK-UP GAME BASKETBALL

Ray Cheng — Wed, 13 Apr 2022 12:45:49 +0000

The most star-studded basketball game in recent memory didn’t take place on an NBA court. Even weirder? In a game featuring LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson and Carmelo Anthony, the most famous player had never made it past the bench on his high school basketball team. That’s because this game was hosted by President Barack Obama for his 49th birthday at Fort McNair, a few minutes from the White House. Reporters were barred from the gym, as the 44th President of the United States “just wanted to play.” #OBAMABALL emerged from that secretive game, signed by Obama, LeBron, Kobe, Magic and Carmelo.

Ray Cheng — Sun, 16 Jan 2022 17:47:16 +0000

#GWLETTER is a handwritten letter from George Washington to his Director of Intelligence delivered in 1780. During the Revolutionary War, George Washington’s Director of Military Intelligence, Benjamin Tallmadge, was a master of espionage. His tactics were the stuff of movies, down to the invisible ink. Tallmadge and his ‘Culper Spy Ring’ prevented 6,000 British troops from landing in Newport and played a significant role in apprehending one of Benedict Arnold’s co-conspirators.
