I am helping a local guy sell off his collection, so if you see anything you like please PM me with reasonable offers.
First Item: 5/14/1926 New York Yankees official program & score card. Babe Ruth Home Run!
This game took place on 5/14/1926 at Yankee Stadium as the Indians came to town. This program is VERY rare and unique due to the fact that it features 2 Yankee LEGENDS in Ruth and Gehrig, and for the fact that Babe Ruth hit a Home Run this game also . The program is in great condition with no rips or tears! Looks like there is a small fold line going from the logo in between Regal Shoes to the bottom. This does not take away from the programs aesthetics one bit! Binding is good but is slightly beginning to slice at the edge. This would probably grade a EX on the conservative side. This program has not been scored in.
Second Item: 6/15/1941 Joe DiMaggio score card from hit streak. Hit #28 HOME RUN!
This game took place on 6/15/1941 at Yankee Stadium as the Indians came to town. This program is VERY rare and unique for 2 reasons. This was during DiMaggio's hit streak AND his only hit of the game was a game winning home run. The program is in great condition but does have a few issues with the front cover. There is a small tear on the top right, a rip on the right middle edge and a rip on the bottom right corner. Binding is still intact and strong!. This would probably grade a VG on the conservative side. This program has been scored in even further adding to the provenance.
Third Item: Satchel Paige Rookie Season Official Program & Score Card! Pitched in the game!
This game took place on 7/21/1948 at Yankee Stadium as the Indians came to town. This program is VERY rare and unique for 2 reasons. This was Paige's rookie season AND first ever game pitched in Yankee Stadium. He pitched in this game firing a perfect 6th inning while recording a strikeout! The program is in fantastic condition with no rips or tears. Binding is still intact although it is barely beginning to come apart. This would easily grade at least a 5/10 on the conservative side.
Fourth Item: 8/18/1947 Jackie Robinson official program & score card from Rookie Season! RARE
This game took place on 8/18/1947 at Ebbets Field as the Cardinals came to town. This program is VERY rare and unique for 2 reasons. This was during Robinson's rookie season AND he had a double and turned a double play with Pee Wee Reese. The program is in great condition but does have a few issues with the front cover. There is a small slice on the bottom left corner, a small tear on the top right and a very tiny missing piece on the bottom right corner. Binding is still intact and strong!. This would probably grade a VG+ on the conservative side. This program has not been scored in.
Fifth Item: (c) 1915 "Red Sox Warming Up" Post Card by Mason Bros. & Co.
This postcard features members of the Boston Red Sox Team warming up for a game at Fenway Park. Players stand around home plate watching a teammate take batting practice. The view is from the third base side of home plate toward the first base side granstands. A large advertisement on the first base line wall promotes the sports reporting of the Boston Herald. The postcard is in fantastic condition with it's only flaws being a small crease on the bottom right, a small indent on the top right and a small wrinkle on the back right. All this does is adds character as it still displays beautifully. This same post card graded by SGC 20 sold at auction in 2014 for $105.00 This would easily grade higher than that should you choose to go that route.
