Signed Baseballs Auctioned in 1921
I found this article related to a benefit game for Christy Mathewson, who was dealing with TB. The game was played on September 30, 1921, and around $50,000 was raised. Two baseballs were auctioned at the event and the article (attached, sorry for any lost detail) says:
"A baseball, autographed by President Harding, Vice-President Coolidge, Babe Ruth, Matthewson [sic] and George Kelly, was auctioned off for $750. Another ball, autographed by Hans Wagner, sold for $250." I wonder where those baseballs are now, and how much they'd go for in an auction today...
