I'd buy one if they remade these things, love the purple NY!

Pipp roomed with Babe Ruth, imagine what that sweater has witnessed...
I’m a Sox fan, and will echo that is one cool sweater. The Yankees should absolutely make nice replicas of that!

I saw that last night...the sweater is in incredible shape! I thought the estimate was pretty close to spot on! Esp with the provenance.

Just a tad high, in my opinion (both on the Cleats and the Sweater). But Insurance Values are always inflated a bit.

So I think it was pretty spot-on. Pipp is definitely one of the better players that could have worn this style sweater during this era.

Not problem with the sweater price, but I was a tiny suprised the cleats weren't more by 20%.

This sweater is a completely different style than the Witt sweater. Much greater Eye Appeal IMO. I think the 100k + range if it hit the Market now. Wonderful item happy it was shared.

Here J-dog, better matches just for you:

Coaches:

Ruth's:

Still think its 50K-60K item based on the recent sale of the "comparable", but not exact match. And it's just Pipp, it's not Gehrig.


I just don't see how it gets to 100K from, again the "similar" one, that just sold for 38K, and I'd actually prefer a 1925 Jersey that went recently for only 11K:

Sweater over jersey? and 90K more then a jersey, just don't see it,
I'm sure we will find out shortly guessing its headed to auction soon.

As Mark and Jay already mentioned, this appraisal on AR is being quoted as insurance estimate, which is inflated a bit compared to auction prices because it takes into account the effort and cost it would take to find a replacement.

So if the insurance appraisal on the sweater is $75K, they are considering it would sell at auction for about $50K - $60K, which is probably on the mark or a bit conservative.
