Lot 622: Eclectic Baseball Autograph Collection with a 1977 Yankees Team Signed Baseball

ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $750.00
Winning Bid: $2,104.03
Price Realized: $2,514.32
Auction Date:6/26/2005 9:00 PM EST

UPDATE: Also included are single signed bats from Cal Ripken and Barry Bonds and three special edition Ted Williams silver/gold collector's bats. The three bats denote his MVP years, his Triple Crown years, and his Batting Crown years.
An autographed Official American league (MacPhail) baseball from the World Series-winning Yankees of 1977 headlines a masterful mix of signed balls, baseball cards and large framed works. The 26 Yankee autographs, which include Munson, Berra, Martin (clubhouse), Guidry, Chambliss, Nettles, Dent, etc., average Near Mint, but a few Pinstripers like Mr. October signed with light ink. Nolan Ryan figures largely in the group with a single signed baseball and four limited-edition signed baseball cards that chart his career from a rookie with the Mets to the Angels to the Astros and finally the Rangers. Ryan also autographed four souvenir balls marking milestones from seven no-hitters to 5,714 strikeouts. A ball signed by Hank Aaron, Willie Mays and Eddie Murray honors their membership in the 3,000-hit, 500-home run club, while an Official National League (White) baseball signed by Barry Bonds pays homage to the newly crowned homerun king. Need to make a bigger autograph statement? Oversized framed artworks of Cal Ripken Jr., Mickey Mantle (2) and Ryan come with their signatures. The largest Mantle, a 33- by 36-inch action montage painted in a No. 7, could bat cleanup on any wall. Condition averages Near Mint throughout.
