Auction Monthly, a renowned Northern California sports cards and memorabilia company, was chosen to manage this event. Known for its expertise in high-value sales—like a recent discovery of rare vintage Babe Ruth cards—Auction Monthly will oversee the sale of Longordo’s expansive collection, which features more than two thousand unique items. Among these are original artworks, vintage and contemporary sports cards, autographed memorabilia, and sports collectibles representing Hall of Famers across sports like baseball, football, basketball, hockey, boxing, and golf. The collection is valued in the high six figures, making it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for sports and art collectors alike.
Longordo, a Florida-based artist trained in Italy, has enjoyed a dynamic career as a sports and pop culture artist, having worked with notable athletes, celebrities, and corporations. His background includes serving as one of the nation’s leading forensic artists and creating celebrity-inspired cakes at a famed bakery in Wilmington, NC. Known for his intricate and vibrant portrayals, Longordo has been commissioned by athletes and celebrities to capture their likenesses, cementing his place in both sports and art communities.
A highlight of the auction will be Longordo’s original paintings, many of which are signed by top athletes and celebrities—a rare find that showcases the intersection of sports, art, and Hollywood. In addition to sports icons, his paintings feature pop culture legends like Marilyn Monroe, the Beatles, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and film classics such as The Godfather. “I feel incredibly fortunate to have pursued my passion for so many years,” Longordo shared.
Additional information about this highly anticipated sale will be released at AuctionMonthly.com on May 5. For collectors, this event is a unique chance to acquire pieces that bridge the worlds of sports, music, and art history.
