Signed 1963 Piatigorsky Cup Program & related Items

A rare 1963 Piatigorsky Cup Program signed by all 8 Participants. Aside from the signatures, this beautiful program contains pictures with a short biography of all 8 players including then World Champion Tigran Petrosian.and U.S. Grandmasters Sammy Reshevsky and Pal Benko. Along with the program I have included some tournament photos and related ephemera.

Wow that is impressive Mike.  Just breathtaking.  

Thanks MIke,I'm glad you enjoyed

goodknightmike, I don't know enough about the tournament so excuse me if this sounds clueless, but is there a collection of the games played at that tournament?

Mike, amazing find. A beautifully kept piece of chess history.  I'm sure you will be a good caretaker for the long term. Honestly breathtaking.

Great, Great indeed. Without signatures is common, with  them very very rare. A wonderful item.

Up Yes . A European/english version, and the classic and original american one.

Thanks Shelby, looking forward to the pics. I also have the 2nd cup program , but mine is only signed by Portish and Fischer. 

thnx for sharing

You're quite welcome!

Thanks GroggyNoggin, Glad you liked it. Yes, the program is a keeper.

Thanks, rcmacmillan and BurnAmos. Very, very interesting. I learn something every day.

Thanks for sharing.  It was great looking at these.

I have the First Piatigorsky Cup book in hardback, but the Second Piatigorsky Cup in paperback.

I think the Second tournament's volume is in greater demand because Fischer and Spassky played in it.

Yo're welcome Jimmie, glad you enjoyed the program
