I was willing to pay max of $4000. Figured with the restoration work required that was about the top I could go. went for $4750 plus another 18% premium
here is info on it. I saw it on person, it was 1000% good, but with the restoration needed AND the condition it was in, i had to stay firm at $4k (and that included commision)....and i just stood up and walked out of the room when i was topped.
CASEY STENGEL GAME USED BASEBALL JERSEY: Spalding New York Yankees pinstripe jersey circa 1955-1960 with C. Stengel and 37 stitched into lower section of jersey. In the 1950's the Yankees would send their old uniforms down to the farm system when soiled and this jersey was sent to the St. Petersburg Saints and unfortunately the Yankees logo and number 37 have been removed and replaced with Saints logo and number. Traces of the original logo and number can been seen. Reputedly from the Saints clubhouse, given to the consignor as a ball boy in the late 1950's. The Saints were a part of the Yankees organization from 1955-1960. Size 42 shirt.
CONDITION: Expected signs of use and wear, some yellowing, no holes or tears
