Blatz Beer Braves

Saw this at The Del Mar Antique show this weekend, probably still there if anyone is interested. They were asking $500 for it. Assuming it's from Milwaukee. Any info out there on these?

Roger Maris game and the only Ted Williams signed bicycle seat (at least according to the seller of it).

Way overpriced on the beer piece. Don't see much of a market for a signed seat, but to each their own. In regards to the Maris game, it would just depend on the price. I'm not much of a game guy, but I always liked that one. Jason

They were asking $100 on the game. This show started Friday, I'm sure you could get at least 50% off any item they still have today, which is the closing day. I didn't even ask the price on the seat.

I'm not a game person, but that $40-50 seems fair for the game. Not sure what kind of profit you could make, but I would think $100-150 retail as the condition appears nice. If you but it make sure all of the pieces and paperwork are included. Unfortunately I don't know what came with it. Jason

Wonder what Ted thought when somebody handed him that seat to sign?

According to the seller it went like this. A guy brings in an entire bike to sign (I don't know why either), Ted says- "I only sign flats" so the guy brings back the seat and Ted reluctantly signs, saying "This is the first and last Bike seat I've signed". The guy did have photo documentation. I love Ted but have almost no interest in the item, I didn't even ask how much he wanted for it.

Maybe it was the seat to a "Ted Williams Sporting Goods" model bike from Sears Roebuck. Doesn't seem like too much of a stretch I guess.

Braves sign
 
The Braves beer item is way over priced. A mint nonrepainted sign with original flags(the one in the pic has been repainted) will go around 250ish.
