During his lifetime no hobbyist was better-known or more notorious than New Jersey collector Barry Halper. A limited partner of the Yankees Halper's access to the team and its players helped him amass one of the largest private collections of sports memorabilia known; the publicity he received for his collection was nearly as massive as the collection itself. The 1999 auction of the bulk of Halper's collection set the record for the largest single-owner sale of sports memorabilia achieving nearly $22 million. A subsequent auction of Halper's remaining memorabilia - the material he couldn't bear to sell - generated incredible press after his passing. In death Halper's name remains almost as well-known in the hobby as it was during his life largely due to controversy surrounding some of the items in his collection that have been speculated were stolen or in other cases inauthentic. What is however unquestionable is the attention Halper paid to his own publicity. Numerous stories exist of Halper sitting down with various journalists and interested visitors and producing a massive scrapbook containing press clippings about Halper and his collection. Presented here is what we believe to be that very scrapbook. It is indeed enormous. Measuring a gargantuan 14" x 17" and weighing in at well over 15 pounds Halper's name is imprinted on the cover in gold leaf. The ensuing 236 pages date back as early as 1977 and end with a single article from 2002 more than half the book's pages remaining empty awaiting articles that would never be clipped as Halper passed in 2005 as a result of complications from diabetes. Clipped articles include features on Halper's collection and small blurbs where his name is mentioned from large national media and smaller local or hobby-only publications. It seemed anywhere Halper received press - even when his name is mentioned in his son's wedding announcement - a clip was procured and pasted into the book. The result is a fascinating look into the man's life and collection with individual stories on how various items were acquired which were among his favorites and even articles about his relationship with the New York Yankees (and speculation about his potentially taking over as General Partner at one point). Several pages appear to be missing clippings that were once affixed. We will assume that these pages contained handwritten notes that somewhere along the line were deemed of value by whomever has owned this scrapbook since Halper's passing. Indeed a few handwritten notes remain notably from former umpire Al Clark and former Yankees owner George Steinbrenner. The value of this scrapbook however lies not in the small number of autographs contained herein (just two that we have noticed) but in the massive amounts of information about Halper and his collection.
