A "fearsome foursome" of artifacts, and much more, from the collection of the immortal Los Angeles Rams Hall of Famer Deacon Jones, spearhead the Steiner Sports Memorabilia "Coast to Coast Legends" online auction.

Deacon Jones 1969 and 1969 MVP awards will be through through Steiner Sports

The dazzling quartet of lynchpin collectibles includes: Deacon's 1980 Hall of Fame ring, his rare 1966-67 Rams defensive playbook with strategies from the gridiron coaching icon George Allen and his 1968 and 1969 Most Valuable Player trophies. There are a total of 24 artifacts from the Deacon Jones collection registered.

The auction is now live and will continue through Dec. 9, what would have been the 75th birthday of the late, great defensive end. Ironically, Jones also wore number 75.

The announcement was made by Steiner Sports Founder Brandon Steiner, and Elizabeth Jones, Deacon's wife, who continues his legacy. A portion of the proceeds from the collection are earmarked for the Deacon Jones Foundation, which assists inner-city communities and develops future leaders.

Mariano Rivera Farewell Collection
The biggest stars in baseball paid homage to all-time closer Mariano Rivera – three dozen of his contemporaries including World Champion Red Sox David Ortiz and Dustin Pedroia, Yankees teammates Andy Pettitte, CC Sabathia, Ichiro Suzuki and Alfonso Soriano, and Lakers stars Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant – by contributing signed memorabilia to benefit the Mariano Rivera Foundation, which will also highlight the auction. In all there are 63 collectibles from the Mariano Rivera Farewell Collection.
