Lot 137: Billy Williams Day Pin collection (100)

ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $25.00
Winning Bid: $63.92
Price Realized: $76.38
Auction Date:10/5/2005 9:00 PM EST

Lot of 100 pins from Billy Williams Day at Wrigley Field is symbolic of the quiet but spectacularly steady HOFer who always gave 100 percent in his 14-year career, hiting 426 homers and at one point playing a then-record 1,117 consecutive games. Identical pins feature his close-up image with a bat behind his ear on the blue baseball-styled button reading: "Billy Williams Day, June 29, 1969." Cub fans will want to forget the year, but never the man. Buttons are 2" in diameter and EX w/some scratching on the silver rear metallic area but nary a speck of tarnish on any.
