Rare Ted Williams Stuff

[Spike]

Placemat-sized 1979 issue used for teaching reading comprehension in classrooms. Guessing the color photo's a late-career shot from spring training. (Ignore my site watermark, it was best scan I could find today. :-)

The 1954 Bowman considered rare, but really isn’t. But the Hocus Focus certainly is! Thanks for posting. Did you post it on the Ted Williams collectibles Facebook page?

It seems like everything from Sears used to be endorsed by Ted Williams. I still have my Ted Williams outfielder glove that I used for years. Most of the baseball equipment with Ted's name seemed to be some of the best quality Sears sold.

1938 Ted Williams photo from his time with the Minneapolis Millers. Love this image. Sold in RMY Auction in June 2015 for about $8,800. I have no idea who owns it, but the image is so cool that I had to share it.

I have a low grade R303 Goudey Williams that I would be willing to trade toward a V351 Williams. Not willing to sell the R303 Williams.

I’d buy the 303 so you have the money ready when you find a 351

Thanks for the offer, but not planning to sell it until I have a V351 in my collection.

I run the Ted Williams Collectors page on fb and posted it there not long after getting it. Also posted on Number 9 Facebook group as well.

You may have the only 1 or 2 left.

I need to find the other one!

Picked this up in Clean Sweep - 1938 Minnesota Miners, signed by the whole team, including Ted Williams (top row, 3rd from left)

Thanks to the internet, many books that were once considered rare are easier to find. But I would say these three are scarcer than most Ted Williams books.

[Scrmnegl77]

Great buy. I was bidding on that but made some recent big purchases otherwise would have gone to $1500. Awesome that it's signed by the whole team.

We have some neat stuff in this auction including a ton of items from the estate of Ted's long time Red Sox roommate Broadway Charlie Wagner.

Here's some highlights:

Have the paper issue 41 playball. On the rare side... this one was well cut and has great color and clean. Don’t see this offered much, sheets come up here and there.
