Through Heritage Brooks was selling his personal collection and donated all the proceeds to benefit charity. While a lot of Brooks’ memorabilia were already in the market this auction brought the cream of the crop for collectors. One of my personal favorites was his 1955 rookie contract along with Brooks’ 1964 American League MVP award. The ’64 MVP award went for $155,350; I was one of the underbidders on that one. Of course, there were a tremendous of other awesome items as well including his ‘1966 and ’70 World Series ring. I REALLY went all out (for me at least) on the game used flip-up sunglasses but came up short; believe they went for $7k. In fact, I came up short on “everything” I bid on.
The original Norman Rockwell painting that Brooks owned was also being sold through Heritage, but it was sold by private treaty.
