I see that Ted Williams hunk o' dung at a lot of NJ flea markets too, often with a price of $250. I was looking at one a couple weeks ago and the seller right off the bat offered to "come down" to $175 since I was wearing a NY Yankees hat lol.
All the Ted Williams "Moxies" are usually fake. This was a small soda company local to the New England market and Ted only signed a deal with them in 1957, yet a lot of them claim to be either pre-war or late 1940s. The chances that so many of these items survived to enter the collector market nearly 60 years later is absurd.
The Ruth Fro-Joy is a complete joke, and the Gerigh looks to have been printed on old paper and then stained with bacon grease and such to make it look old.
