I cannot find another 1956 World Series Champion tea set example. I do not see Mickey Mantle or Billy Martin going the tea set route, I'm cracking up, I could hear Mantle cursing right now - but I could see Phil Rizzuto and Yogi Berra, but they did not go that route.
Has anyone seen another of these?
If there are no other exact 1956 tea sets that have sold, I do not think a comparable to this award is out there in terms of another large non-ring YANKEE player World Series Award.
A 1953 Joe Collins ring sold at Heritage for 25K without premium a few years back. If your grandfather had a 1956 ring, would it achieve this price? I think so. I think it would be about 25k. Your grandfather was a player - and contributed a great season in 1956, so I think if the ring were in nice shape, it would be about 25k. (I looked at other auction results as well.) Others may have other opinions regarding the value of such a would-be ring.
I think the 1956 tea set would not be as valuable an item, in my personal opinion. The players wore the rings; more of an everyday connection. And more people collect World Championship rings than all World Champion awards in general. And rings are still in style.
But again, the rarity of this World Series Award, the fact that it may be unique, and a needed example for those who collect all examples of World Series Awards, and such collectors are out there, I would give a value of 10k. But as there are no remote comparables that I can find, it is one of the harder items to value. Others' thoughts?
