Larsens Perfect Game uniform to be auctioned
 

Larsen, the architect of the only perfect game in World Series history, will auction off the jersey and pants he wore when he beat the Brooklyn Dodgers 2-0 in Game 5 at Yankee Stadium on Oct. 8, 1956.

Steiner Sports Marketing & Memorabilia (www.steinersports.com) will handle the Larsen artifacts. Fittingly, the bidding will begin on Oct. 8, 2012—the 56th anniversary of the perfect game—and will end on Dec. 2. The duration of the auction? Fifty-six days.

That to me is a monster piece of memorabilia!!! I think that perfect game is one of the most underated feats in baseball.

Lets just hope that it does not end up on a 2013 Topps trading card.

The uniform of Yogi Berra, Larsen's perfect batterymate during that Game 5 against the Brooklyn Dodgers, sold for $565,000 in an auction.

Estimates on the hammer price?

$1,200,000.

I can see it now,,, they will have to pay so much for the uniform that they will start mounting it on cards using threads from the jersey.
But who would put anything past the card companies and their destructive paths.
"If we can destroy sports history and make a buck,, LET'S DO IT."

I think this will fetch seven figures. I also happen to think that MLB will be the winning bidder and will donate it to Cooperstown. You read it here first. ;)

Seven fiddy

I say $750,000

$685 k

One MILLION dollars!
