The Big Train Jersey In Heritage Auctions

[Leon]

I am sure many have seen this, but this must be, at least, one of the best jersey's of Walter existent? Thoughts on final price? It's out of my league, by at least a few comma's... Their estimate is 3M...

I guess 2.82M after juice...(card not included in sale!!)

I was reading the auction description the other day - that is amazing!

My favorite WaJo card, along with a signed letter circa 1910....

I will go 2.1. I think the three million types are spending it on Ruth, not Johnson.

no idea what it will bring...

It’s really 1 of a kind, could see an MLB titan or ownership splashing out $3MM.

Reading the description of the jersey makes it even more mind blowing. If I’m reading it right Johnson was wearing this as the pitcher when Ruth got his first hit as a Yankee.

+1. I'm thinking the jersey with no other special feature to it would hammer for some fraction of the estimate, maybe a fifth or sixth of what they're expecting. I think it went for something like 150K at Sotheby's/SCP in 2006. A fraction is still a heck of a lot of moolah, though, and it is the only known WaJo jersey other than the one in the HOF. Ruth is king.
