Took my son to Cooperstown this past summer, as he was playing in the Cooperstown Dream's tournament. First free moment I had, I took him down to check out the HOF.
Naturally, after leaving the HOF, we checked out the all (of the many) memorabilia shops that lined the street. Most of the shops offered the same exact items....got pretty monotonous. But one of the shops did have the '55 Dodgers Schaefer sign, and I must say, the sign is amazing in person (pictures really don't do it justice).
When I asked the shop owner for the price, he hit me with a price tag of $4K. Obviously, I balked at the price, but when I tried to negotiate, he wouldn't budge. Said it was one of his favorite pieces from his personal collection, and really didn't want to let it go. I don't blame him.
Great piece Marty.
