SCP Cy Young cabinets

[RUKen]

The photos and the composite can now be viewed individual on the auction website, lots #434-440: http://catalog.scpauctions.com/Category/Baseball-2.html

Minimum bids are $500 for Childs, $1000 each for McKean, Tebeau, and Zimmer, $3000 for Ewing, $5000 for the composite, and $10,000 for Young.

I've attached the signed Ewing:

These cabinets truly are an amazing find. Looking forward to see what they'll go for. It should be noted though that there is an error in the description saying that the team composite from 1896 is one of a kind. There was another example of this composite offered in the February 2007 Mastro Auction.

It's still a great item but it isn't the only one known.

Agree, 1896 composite, is not one of a kind, I had one in the 1980's that believe belonged to McAleer. It is possible it was the one in the auction, but I did not own it for long and cannot be sure if it is a third one or not.

I thought that the writing on the Ewing was in Young's hand.

You are correct. I've just had another look at the auction descriptions--Young apparently identified all of the players. His own signature is deemed authentic, and the Ed McKean photo has two identifications, one by Young and the other said to be a signature from McKean himself.
