1910 Jack Coombs Philadelphia A's Jersey

[Donscards]

I am surprised there is no talk on the forum on the 1910 Jack Coombs Philadelphia A's Jersey in the Saco River Auction---Quite a piece and in beautiful condition---My guess is that its a $8-10,000 price range---any thoughts out there----thanks, Don

My only thought is that anyone remotely interested in bidding would prefer to discuss its attributes after the hammer goes down.

I think you're being way too conservative on that estimate. I wouldn't be surprised if the bidding went past $50,000 and kept going. Coombs went 31 - 9 with 13 shutouts in that jersey.

As long as a reputable authenticator doesn't kill that jersey, it will go high.

How do you know he went 31-9 in it?

Well if we're going to split hairs........if the jersey is real, Coombs had to have won some of those 31 wins while wearing that jersey.

Is that better?

$25K + the juice.... somebody got a terrific piece

Jersey was real. No way to date the jersey to his best year. Could have come from any number of years.

I was there $29 K with the juice beautiful jersey and pants----it was a beauty Don

[perezfan]

$29K included the VIG... Right? They said on phone that the winning bid was $25,000 before the buyers premium. The bidding started at $15K.

Anyone here get it???

[Donscards]

Mark yes the jersey went for $25k---the buyers premium is 15% but if u pay by credit card, it is %18----plus 5% sales tax if you dont have a tax exempt certificate----so with the shipping plus insurance---my guess is around 29K---it went out of state---I think to Texas----Don

I guess heritage was probably the ones who bought it consider it's in their next auction.

I had a 1913-17 SPALDING Jack Coombs bat years ago...nice bat, when i was collecting W.S. Stars.... he was a stud peak years pitcher, totally underrated, and lost to history. Did some great coaching the rest of his life in the Northeast.
