Description
1962 Juan Marichal Game Worn & Signed San Francisco Giants Jersey, SGC Superior. Only Christy Mathewson and Carl Hubbell won more games for the Giants franchise than this high-kicking Dominican, and the 1962 season in which Marichal donned this home white flannel saw him claim his first (and second) of ten appearances on the National League All-Star roster. But, of course, this year is best remembered in Giants history for its pennant-winning achievement, though they'd come up on the losing end of what was arguably the tightest World Series battle in the full history of the Fall Classic.Marichal posted a record of 18-11 in the 1962 regular season, with a 3.36 ERA and 153 strikeouts, and he'd pitch four shutout innings in Game Four of the World Series before smashing the thumb on his pitching hand during a bunt attempt in the top of the fifth, an injury that would end his season and possibly represented the difference in the team's eventual narrow defeat.
The offered jersey exhibits "moderate to heavy" game use according to the experts as SGC, who affirm 100% original and unaltered condition. "Giants" spans the chest in black felt on orange tackle twill, the same format that announces the number "27" on verso. We find minor seam separation on the number "7," but certainly nothing out of the ordinary for a garment of such advanced vintage. A "Marichal" embroidered felt swatch appears at interior collar, while lower left front tail provides the "Tim McAuliffe Inc." manufacturer's label with "62" year and "42" size swatches just below.
The jersey is magnificently preserved, with none of the moth damage or staining common to jerseys of the era. A bold black sharpie signature completes the package at lower left front tail. LOA from SGC, Superior. LOA from Heritage Auctions (Auction #50074). Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from Beckett Authentication Services.
Guide Value or Estimate: $25,000 - 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.
