The Gold Book

The L.A. 1984 GOLD BOOK and hand made Presentation Box are one of our rarest Artifacts. Out of 500 books signed by Olympic medal winners, only one dozen remain and out of ten presentation boxes with a special Gold book, only two are left. This Book with the valuable Program is a must for collectors of Los Angeles Olympics, of famous Olympian's signatures and simply for collectors looking for very rare Olympic artifacts and memorabilia.

1. WHAT IT'S ABOUT: "THE GOLD BOOK" of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, was an issue of 500 individually numbered books, luxuriously bound in genuine leather, with an engraved gold plaque to enter your name as owner of the book. The book contains twenty nine to thirty signatures, signed with gold ink, mostly from Olympic Gold Medal winners. All books were signed by the participants from the 1984 Olympics and by honorary guests and medal winners from the 1928, 1932, 1936, 1960 and 1976 Olympics at a special Book signing Ceremony in Los Angeles after the 1984 Olympics, attended by athletes and high Sport Officials of the IOC, USOC and LAOOC, which were invited by sending a program and invitation that is very rare, because only 100 of them were printed for the invitees, of which only 80 attended, since President Reagan and others of that caliber had more important things to do and we were able to get the programs from empty seats and people that left them at the table for which we bought books, as well as two presentation boxes. About 400 of the books were without program and sold at a benefit concert for young athletes for $ 2000.00, mostly purchased by corporations and other large outfits that were sponsors for the 1984 Olympics. The books come with a certificate of authenticity, signed by the Chairman of LAOOC Paul Ziffren, and a list of the Medal Winners that signed each book. The leftover books were later sold by agents for 1,200.00 and we still have copies of the newspaper article if someone wants to see it. We sold ours for 800 Dollars until we left Los Angeles in 1990 and since we have only a few of the books left, our price for the last few books is $ 500.00 plus shipping and insurance. There are a couple of books left with the signatures of Frank Lubin, the 1936 captain of the gold medal USA Basketball team in Berlin and Mack Robinson, the 1936 200 meter silver medal sprinter behind Jesse Owens. The books with the Berlin signatures which we always sold for$1,000.00 are $ 800.00 plus postage and insurance. All books, which are leather bound, include the rare program, a gold printed diploma like certificate of authenticity signed by LAOOC's Paul Ziffren and Harry Usher and a list of the signed athletes. The program is beautiful and very rare; only 100 were printed and given to invitees like President Reagan, Bush, Samaranch, etc. If you buy the book and include an extra $50.00, we will send you an authentic diploma for participants of the 1984 Los Angeles Opening Ceremonies signed by Paul Ziffren, Harry L. Usher, Peter Ueberroth and David L.Wolper, There were about 50 books of the 500 books that had a few less signatures or were not as clean as we would want and were sold cheap by auctioneers and others. None of our books are from rejects and are guaranteed choice books.

"THE GOLD BOOK PROGRAM" Only one hundred programs, the exact number of invitees were printed. Since only about 60 showed up, we were able to purchase the programs that were left over, which are extremely rare. Our price $ 150.00 each, postage paid.
