Also included is a framed commemorative scorecard for the 1981 Third Test at Headingley, titled The Test Match of the Century, featuring Roy Ullyett cartoons of Ian Botham and Bob Willis alongside portrait sketches of the England squad. The final item is a framed textured print or painting of a Test Match scene featuring Cornhill Test sponsorship, signed BAL to the lower right. No formal certificates of authenticity or letters of provenance accompany the autographs.
