The event came to be known as the Austerity Games, because of the economic climate and post-war rationing. A record 59 nations were represented by 4,104 athletes, in 19 sport disciplines. Germany and Japan were refused permission to participate while the USSR chose not to send any athletes. The United States team won the most total medals, 84, and the most gold medals, 38. The host nation won 23 medals, 3 of them gold. Star performers at the Games, whose autographs are all included in this visitors' book, were Dutch sprinter Fanny Blankers-Koen, dubbed 'The Flying Housewife', who won 4 gold medals in athletics; American Bob Mathias, winner of the decathlon and youngest male ever to win an Olympic gold medal at the age of 17; and Veikko Huhtanen of Finland who had a medal haul of 5 including 3 golds. Not every medal winner is in this book, notable absentees include the winners of the 3 British gold medals for rowing and sailing, these events taking place at Henley and Torbay. There are 223 medal-winner autographs from 26 countries with very little duplication. Multiple medal winners were largely only asked to sign once with their medal wins noted in the right column for individual and team events. It appears that 13 non-medal winning competitors and the USA swimming manager have also signed. The full list of medal winner autographs is available from the auction office. (1)

David, mostly 15 x 20 cm (6 x 8 ins), a few with corner chip or creases but generally in good condition An important collection of photographs, probably mostly unpublished, documenting the construction of the Empire Pool and Sports Arena, Wembley. The building's more famous original neighbour, Wembley Stadium, was built for the British Empire exhibition of 1924, took only 10 months and was ready for the 1923 "White Horse" FA Cup Final between Bolton and West Ham on 28 April 1923. An estimate 300,000 people turned up and a superhuman performance from PC George Scorey and his white horse, Billy, prevented a catastrophe. The Empire Exhibition was a great success but after all was said and done the stadium was pronounced financially unviable. It was rescued by a young man name Arthur Elvin who had worked at the exhibition, selling cigarettes in a kiosk. When the exhibition ended, Elvin started buying up the deserted pavilions and selling off the contents for scrap. After the stadium went into liquidation Elvin raised money to buy it and became its managing director. Elvin had the right mixture of vision and pragmatism to make Wembley work. He realised that the stadium needed a smaller, weatherproof venue to complement the stadium and so the Empire Pool and Sports Arena came into being, opening in 1934. Alongside the big football matches the venues now included greyhound racing and speedway. When the Olympics came to London in 1948, Wembley hosted the opening ceremony and many other events. The Empire Pool was last used at these Games. The building is now used for music, comedy and family entertainment and for sport. It was renovated, along with the Wembley Stadium, as part of a regeneration, opening to the public again on 2 April 2006. The building was renamed The SSE Arena on 1 June 2014. (approx. 100)

He was also backup for Vostok 3 and Soyuz 3 signed certificate given to attendee of the Autographica show dinner where the both attended. Valentina Tereshkova is the first woman to have flown in space, having been selected from more than four hundred applicants and five finalists to pilot Vostok 6 on 16 June 1963. She completed 48 orbits of the Earth in her three days in space. In order to join the Cosmonaut Corps, Tereshkova was honorarily inducted into the Soviet Air Force and thus she also became the first civilian to fly in space. Before her recruitment as a cosmonaut, Tereshkova was a textile-factory assembly worker and an amateur skydiver. After the dissolution of the first group of female cosmonauts in 1969, she became a prominent member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, holding various political offices. She remained politically active following the collapse of the Soviet Union and is still regarded as a hero in post-Soviet Russia. In 2013, she offered to go on a one-way trip to Mars if the opportunity arose. At the opening ceremony of the 2014 Winter Olympics, she was a carrier of the Olympic flag. Good condition.
