Description
1905 Philadelphia Athletics Souvenir Silk from The Rube Waddell Collection. The 1905 A's brought Manager Connie Mack his second pennant and featured three Hall of Fame pitchers: Rube Waddell, Eddie Plank, and Chief Bender. That squad was commemorated on a fantastic silk swatch that is available for consideration. Measuring 7.75" x 9.5," this rare survivor features a photographic image of the team in blue. Issued by World Publishing. The silk may have been trimmed, but no additional examples of this particular design could be found for comparison. The condition is very good considering its age and delicate nature with some minor fraying at the edges and very slight staining. A very rare survivor, indeed.Guide Value or Estimate: $1,000 - up.

Auction Type
Signature Internet Extended Bid: These Auctions are presented via catalog and online. Bidding is taken through our website or via phone. There are two phases of bidding during this type of auction: 1) Normal bidding: Bids are taken up until 10 PM CT the night the auction closes. 2) 30 Minute Ending: On a lot-by-lot basis, starting at 10:00 PM CT, any person who has bid on the lot previously may continue to bid on that lot until there are no more bids for 30 minutes. For example, if you bid on a lot during Normal Bidding, you could participate during Extended Bidding for that lot, but not on lots you did not bid on previously. If a bid was placed at 10:15, the new end time for that lot would become 10:45. If no other bids were placed before 10:45, the lot would close. If you are the high bidder on a lot, changing your bid will not extend the bidding during the 30 Minute Ending phase (only a bid from another bidder will extend bidding). If you are the only bidder at 10 PM, you will automatically win the lot at 10:30. Important: After normal bidding ends, you must be signed-on to the Heritage site to see the bidding option on lots where you qualify for extended bidding and you must be on an individual lot page to reflect the accurate time remaining for that particular lot.
