Rare Ted Williams Stuff

[Knoxy24]

Does anyone have any rare Ted Williams stuff to share? 1939 Goudey, 47 Bond Bread dual sided, 46 propagandas.....anything Ted Williams that you just dont see everyday!

[whiteymet]

Here is something you don't see everyday. A Teddy wallet

[ALR-bishop]

I have what I think are his toughest Topps items, his 55 and 56 Hocus Focus cards and his 56 Pin and one of the boxes in which the pins were sold, which has his image on it. Away for the week but could post scans later

[LOUCARDFAN]

There is a place in Scottsdale, AZ that has a couple of one-of-a-kind Ted Williams items that I can guarantee that nobody else has.

I don't really know how rare this is, but being a Ted Williams fan, I had to get it.

That V351 is my favorite too--I wondered if I'd find someone on the board who could top my SGC Ex+ example, as anyone who has one knows this card is far beyond extremely tough! In terms of future appreciation, it is what we would call in the street racing world a "sleeper," meaning it's just sitting there in the "weeds," waiting to pounce on the unsuspecting. Wait until the collecting body at large becomes aware of what is by far Ted's rarest (and a very attractive) rookie. I wouldn't trade it for any other card in the hobby.

Best of luck in your collecting,

Larry

[ALR-bishop]

Dan---same photo was used in 55 and 56. Both sets are pretty grim, but in my experience by far the toughest issued ( as opposed to unissued test sets) Topps sets to complete. Another tough Topps quest would be to get all the colored line variants on his 1956 cards

Here's the rare #68 card (Ted signs for 1959) in my set. Is this 4+ card panel unique ? Or, has anyone else seen an original uncut 1959 Fleer sheet (or partial sheet) ?

A bit of trivia here...… in 1952, Ted took flight training at the Willow Grove Naval Air Base, which is only a 20-minute drive from my house.

Here is a 1970 Ted Williams - Boston Red Sox, sillisculpt figure by Russ & Wallace Berrie. For those that may not be familiar with these, during the 1960's and 1970's, sillisculpt figures by the Berries and by Paula were quite popular - hundreds of different ones were produced. Although Ted Williams' name is not stated anywhere on this figure, surely it was intended to represent Ted Williams because of the "B" on the baseball cap and the number "9" on the back of the figure's shirt.

Shameless plug: I have a another example of this sillisculpt that I will be listing on eBay this weekend. Unfortunately, its bat has broken off and disappeared, but could be replaced with a similar size bat from a toy baseball figure.

[Estwd]

Mind blown....had no idea there was a '55, never heard a peep about it.

Thanks for posting the pics!

Great Teddy stuff, guys. I will revive the thread with one from my last collection. Neat premium...

We should keep this thread on the first two pages for the remainder of 2019. Alright, who's with me?

Will start with a few items today to bring it to the top.

Here are two different 1946-1947 W603 Sports Exchange All Star Pictures of Ted Williams

[Harford20]

Thought I would post this as these are confused often (even by the TPGs; I have a 1941 encased by BVG that is listed as a 1940 on the flip).

The Boston Red Sox often used the same photos for their team Photo Packs. These two below represent the 1940 and 1941 Boston Photo Pack Ted Williams. The KEY difference between the two are the size of the signature; 1940 being a small signature (true for the entire pack of 25 players) and the 1941 being a large signature (also true for the entire pack).

[Harford20]

As you can tell, I love variations. Here are a few from the 1950 R423 Strip cards of Ted Williams. Each is a complete strip, with a back color variation. Orange, Green, Purple and Navy Blue are shown. Many collectors (and TPGs) refuse to acknowledge that a Navy blue back variation exists. The strip has a slightly more glossy surface, does not have perforations between cards, and the player sequence is completely different.

Sorry the orange and green photos are blurry; these are entombed in PSA holders that don't fit my scanner very well.

I purchased this Ted figurine in the '80's from an older gentleman/dealer who was set up next to me at a Tampa card show. He made this himself & was displaying it for show only. Took me the entire weekend of negotiating to finally buy it on Sunday. Think I paid $100 for it. Truly a one-of-a-kind piece.

Super late to the thread but I'm such a big Ted fan I had to comment. Interesting note - PSA will slab and grade the following rare Ted items that were pictured here:

- whole/entire uncut color backed strips
- Topps pin boxes w Ted on cover
- Ted Jimmy Fund card

It's such an odd group of things they will slab in his case but I think they stretch a bit on legends. In other news - this is the first I've ever seen of this Menko which actually has Ted on the front and writing about him.

Great thread! MaineMule when I saw that Ted piece with the photos I said What is that?? And laughed when I saw you had a similar thought.

Mark - nice Moxie!

Here's one that I can add - I love that someone had the nerve to get this card signed in circa 1985. Such sharp corners. What a great hitter.

[Tanman7baseball]

I bought this Ted Williams bat from former A's pitcher Matt Keough. Matt's father, Marty Keough, was friend's with Ted while he played on the Red Sox. The dates aren't exactly clear, but somewhere between 1958-60 Matt participated in a game as the Red Sox's bat boy. There are multiple pictures with Ted and Matt with a nice letter from Ted on how to become a professional baseball player.

Something I have never seen i my 60 years of collecting. Uncut sheet of Star Cal Decals.

I had to pick this up even if I don't collect them myself. Figure someone else will be interested.

Sorry for the shadow at the bottom of my hands and camera taking the photo!

Dave,

No 1961 Jimmy Fund Membership Card. Your outline is correct. I have never seen or heard of a 1961 and just took a few minutes of searching and can’t find anything that would suggest there is one.

It is too bad that Billy DePalma is not on this site. He is the person who advertised for years in the back of SCD looking for rare Williams items. He was pretty nice when I met him and he worked for the Mass Turnpike Authority as a toll taker though the toll takers no longer exist. Even Ted liked him. They would have these real estate presentations at hotels in the Boston area for that development in Florida where he lived. I believe it was Islamorada. The ads would be in the Boston papers and occasionally there would be a little note that he would be appearing. It was a good chance to get something signed by him. I went to one near my house and during the presentation he came out into the hallway and saw Billy. The first words out of his mouth - "Billy, what have you got for me to sign." He then signed everything he had and then signed for me and a friend.

This picture of the great 46 team used to hang at Fenway Park-hence the spills of disgruntled fans. Approx 3 x 5 ft. Ted at upper right.

Really enjoying all the great items in this thread!

My display includes an original unopened bottle of Ted's Creamy Root Beer (probably extra creamy at this point!); A signed replica Ted's Root Beer metal advertising sign; A signed OALB baseball; and a signed 1957 Topps card.

Cool thread with some outstanding items, enjoy checking it out. Enclosed is an uncut sheet of 1959 Fleer Ted Williams/Three Stooges what looks to be factory scrap. Being a Boston fan and s Stooges "kid", especially Larry, just couldn`t resist. Will be framing it for the hobby room soon, Thanx Dennis for making it available.

Incredible card! I need to find one of these!

[The Nasty Nati]

How about a 1939 Play Ball wrapper? You don't see to many of these.

[Spike]

Placemat-sized 1979 issue used for teaching reading comprehension in classrooms. Guessing the color photo's a late-career shot from spring training. (Ignore my site watermark, it was best scan I could find today. :-)

The 1954 Bowman considered rare, but really isn’t. But the Hocus Focus certainly is! Thanks for posting. Did you post it on the Ted Williams collectibles Facebook page?

[GasHouseGang]

It seems like everything from Sears used to be endorsed by Ted Williams. I still have my Ted Williams outfielder glove that I used for years. Most of the baseball equipment with Ted's name seemed to be some of the best quality Sears sold.

1938 Ted Williams photo from his time with the Minneapolis Millers. Love this image. Sold in RMY Auction in June 2015 for about $8,800. I have no idea who owns it, but the image is so cool that I had to share it.

I have a low grade R303 Goudey Williams that I would be willing to trade toward a V351 Williams. Not willing to sell the R303 Williams.

[Scrmnegl77]

I’d buy the 303 so you have the money ready when you find a 351

I run the Ted Williams Collectors page on fb and posted it there not long after getting it. Also posted on Number 9 Facebook group as well.

Thanks for the offer, but not planning to sell it until I have a V351 in my collection.

Ted in pinstripes. This is almost a fantasy piece for those who wonder what would've happened had the Williams - DiMaggio trade happened.

[mmassenzio]

Kind of rare....but here is my version of what a 1952 Bowman Ted Williams may have looked like.

[Estwd]

You may have the only 1 or 2 left.

I need to find the other one!

Picked this up in Clean Sweep - 1938 Minnesota Miners, signed by the whole team, including Ted Williams (top row, 3rd from left)

[molenick]

Thanks to the internet, many books that were once considered rare are easier to find. But I would say these three are scarcer than most Ted Williams books.

[Scrmnegl77]

Great buy. I was bidding on that but made some recent big purchases otherwise would have gone to $1500. Awesome that it's signed by the whole team.

We have some neat stuff in this auction including a ton of items from the estate of Ted's long time Red Sox roommate Broadway Charlie Wagner (https://thecollectorconnection.com/lots/gallery?order=6&search=wagner&searchin=titledescription).

Here's some highlights:

Have the paper issue 41 playball. On the rare side... this one was well cut and has great color and clean. Don’t see this offered much, sheets come up here and there.

Awesome and underrated "set" I love Play Ball Papers.

This Day In Sports was a feature that ran in sports sections for years. They looked like cards. I found a stack of 1960 and 1961 baseball ones at the bottom of a box of stuff I bought and decided that if someone took the effort to cut them out and save them for over 50 years the least I could do was keep them.

[Greenmonster]

I've had this photo for years.

[tjb1952tjb]

Wonder if that photo was taken at Lane Field in San Diego?

Those are great Adam, I for one am glad you kept them.

[Scrmnegl77]

That's very cool! I have the paper set graded but would like another Ted.

Love everything about this thread. I'll go ahead and add my entry. Letter purchasing from Net54, and currently resides above my office desk in a new framed setup :)

Written to his High School best friend Johnnie Lutz while he was playing for the Minneapolis Millers. Great letters talking about hitting his 36th HR of the season and a local marksman in Pistol shooting. I love the ending....."write more often, what's the matter, have you got a sore arm?"

This is the 1946 or 1947 team issue photo. I have full sets of both year team issues and the same image was used both years. These team issue photos are hard to pinpoint the exact year.

The buyer is definitely on this forum! :D

[joshuanip]

I bought a couple letters a few years ago from an auction. This was a one pager which was interesting (viewpoint from his personal life).

[Bicem]

Congrats, was a steal compared to the postcard.

This ring was in a large lot I recently won (the photo of Ted w/ egg is my item). Everything in the lot I won is copyrighted or dated 1961 or earlier- I mean everything- books, baseball, pen/pencil, charms, photos, other ephemera. On a couple of Facebook groups we've had some back and forth but wonder if anyone here knows anything about these rings. The other 3 pics are from the FB post someone made. Thanks for any info. you might have.

Great stuff guys!

This is my George Lyons original 10 x 12 photo from July 13, 1943, the only time that Ted Williams and Babe Ruth were ever pictured together in uniform. This is an original of the famous photo.

Nice, a rarely seen premium. This one is in rough shape but I got it for $14.83 delivered, on the bay about a yr ago. It has to be worth 15 bucks!

[midmo]

I don't know how rare these are, but I don't see them often. My dad gave me this charm about 40 years ago. Ted was his favorite player as a kid and he thinks it came with his jr high or high school glove in the early 60's. If anybody can verify where it's from I'd appreciate it.
