If
you're new to collecting sports display antiques, this is
about as good as auctions get. It's packed with very rare
museum quality items you may not see again for a long
time.
Lot
2046 , 18
1/2 inch by 15 inch1894
Pittsburgh Base Ball Club Advertising
Schedule Poster. - SOLD
FOR $17,511.00
It was a tough call choosing the
number one piece, there are so many great things in this
auction. The graphics and color however speak for
themselves. This same poster was in the April 2005 Robert
Edward auction and sold for $15,000.00. It'll be
interesting to see what it brings here. It's had some
minor restoration, but it's the only known example.
Lot
692 , Circa
1870's Bib Style Baseball Uniform - SOLD
FOR $5,576.00
This is the kind of item
that'll bring you to a screeching halt. These bib
fronts are incredibly rare. Actually I only recall one
other that was in the Halper collection, and it had the
consistency of a pajama top. This one looks like a
sturdier material. Halper paid $10,000.00 for his back
about 16 years ago, and it was just the jersey, no pants.
This one's got the pants. There is some staining on the
front, but the rest of the condition isn't bad.
Lot
818 , 19th
Century Youngstown vs. Akron Football Broadside, 39" x
25" - SOLD
FOR $3,461.00
I've seen a few different versions of this,
but they're very rare. Leland's had some that were for
some deaf teams, about 15 years ago. I know of another
that advertises Dennison College vs. Akron Football Club.
It's one of the best football posters extant. It's got
great graphics, it's in very good condition. Take if from
me, early football broadsides are one of my biggest hot
buttons, This is about as nice as they come, and it's from
Ohio, the very heart of early football country.
Lot
2169 , 1920's
Jim Thorpe Game Used Helmet - SOLD
FOR $16,106.00
Interesting story on how and
where this was acquired. So Thorpe ran a bar in Nevada ay?
Lot
1659 , 1896 Parker Bros. "Parlor Golf" Complete Game in Original
Box, 21" x 14" - SOLD
FOR $700.00
Take it from a serious victorian
sports board game collector, this is one of the top
golf games. I don't even have it (nor do I have room for
it) It's a very rare game. I can't even recall the last
one I saw..maybe 18 years ago!
Lot
829 , 1926
Cal vs. Stanford "Big Game" Oil Painting, 27" x
17-3/4" - SOLD
FOR $4,028.00
One of the best football paintings I've
seen, and in great condition.
Lot
2070 , 1912
Boston Garter Advertising Sign with Eddie Collins and Hal Chase, 21"
x 11" - SOLD
FOR $15,307.00 This is one of the most desirable
baseball signs. Rarely do you see them offered. This looks
to be the same one that was in the April 2005 Robert
Edward auction. It sold for $22,500.00 then. Another
example sold in the Mile High Auction last December for
$31,704.00 . It'll be interesting what it brings here.
Lot
1835 , U.
Pennsylvania c1900 Complete Game Worn Baseball Uniform - SOLD
FOR $847.00 These
big name college uniforms don't come up too often. Great
display pieces, lots of character.
Lot
2066 , 1913 Joe Jackson Plaster Statue,
13-1/2"-
SOLD
FOR $1,391.00
Very rare, never seen a painted one quite like this,
very tough piece.
Lot
2276 , 1895
Police Gazette "Our Baseball Heroes" Lithograph, 21-
1/2" x 15-1/2" - SOLD
FOR $3,425.00 Though not as important as some
of the other 19th century baseball prints like the Temple Cup,
it's within the boundaries of investment grade baseball art. As
Herman Kaufman says, they don't grow on trees. Good solid
display material.
