Auction 50012 | Lot: 51022 | Apr 19, 2019

Sold For: $31,200.00
Exceptional 1894 Temple Cup Print. Nineteeth century baseball's artistic equivalent of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, the magnificent and vast expanse of this piece must be seen in person to fully appreciate. Mere text or catalog imagery cannot suffice. In stirring shades of black and white, lilthographer Hy Sandham captures the action of this meeting between the Baltimore Orioles and New York Giants in the first annual post-season Championship series known as the Temple Cup, a precursor to the modern World Series. Elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen fill the grandstands surrounding the diamond where a Giants baserunner is breaking for second. A runner on third anxiously awaits the pitch to a right-handed batter at the plate. From the ragged state of the infield grass to the abbreviated crouch of the catcher to the netting that protects the fans directly behind home plate, the work is a feast of period detail. Just as thrilling are the forty-four small individual photographic portraits of players and executives that frame the larger image at top and bottom. Among those pictured: John Mongomery Ward, George Wright, Albert Spalding, Frank Selee, John Brush, Hugh Duffy, Cy Young, Wilbert Robinson, Charles Comiskey, Ed Delahanty, Adrian "Cap" Anson, Roger Connor, Amos Rusie and George Davis. The print is constructed of mid-weight card stock and exhibits some wear at the edges from ancient framing, leaving the image area itself mercifully free of all but light and inconsequential toning. While autograph authentication would be impossible, a pencil signature at lower left appears to be that of the artist, suggesting that this may have been given to a special recipient, as the few known examples are unsigned. Dimensions are 31x44".

1940's Hugh Duffy Twice Signed Hall of Fame Plaque. The 1894 National League Triple Crown winner (.440 average, eighteen home runs, 145 runs batted in) offers two signatures for the price of one, as he signs both front and back of this black and white plaque. On each side he makes note of his occupation at the time, "Red Sox Scout." All ink remains in splendid 9+/10 condition, and the postcard itself shows very light back damage due to scrapbook removal, but nothing that affects the tough vintage signature. Slabbed authentic by James Spence and SGC.

1887 New York Giants vs. Boston Beaneaters Scorecard. One of just a small handful of surviving scorecards from nineteenth century National League action, this incredible rarity recounts a nine to three victory for the visiting Boston club at upper Manhattan's Polo Grounds. Penciled into this gorgeous lithographed scorecard are the names of such early legends as Billy Hamilton, Hugh Duffy, Chick Stahl and Kid Gleason, best remembered as the manager of the notorious 1919 Chicago White Sox. Fantastic cover imagery pictures future Hall of Famers Kelly, Ward, Clarkson, Anson, Comiskey and Ewing, and advertises leading Big Apple newspaper The New York Sporting Times. A degree of wear is to be expected, and the spine of the 7x9.5" (when opened) scorecard flirts with separation but does remain attached. All pencil writing remains entirely legible, however, and the wonderful cover graphics are none the worse for wear. Certainly a miracle in any condition, and a great treasure for the early baseball enthusiast.

1890 Players League Program. Born from a revolt over the reserve clause, a renegade group of ballplayers followed the lead of Hall of Fame New York Giant John Montgomery Ward and broke their contracts to form The Players League. The athletes believed that this new paradigm would result in higher wages, but the League went bankrupt after a single season. To say that pieces from this failed experiment are rare would be a gross understatement. Consider how tough it is to find artifacts from the 1914-15 Federal League, and then multiply the degree of difficulty by one hundred, and we may be in the ballpark. Compounding its massive collecting appeal is its remarkable, undamaged EX-MT+ condition, and the appearance in the pencil-notated center scorecard of such early baseball luminaries as Buck Ewing, Roger Connor and Hugh Duffy. Cover reads, "Keefe Official Players League Ball Score Card, New York Brotherhood League" (an alternate league name). A top-quality piece for the seriously advanced early baseball collector.

1939 Baseball Centennial Hall of Famers Signed Postage Stamps Lot of 6. Once part of a tremendous collection of autographed stamps acquired in large measure at the Opening Ceremonies of the Baseball Hall of Fame, this grouping first saw the auction block at the famed 1999 Barry Halper sale. Some of the hobby's tougher Hall of Famers are included in this selection: Hugh Duffy, Connie Mack, Ed Walsh, Larry Lajoie, Herb Pennock and Walter Johnson (with Nolan Ryan signing above). All autographs are rendered in tremendously bold 10/10 black fountain pen, except for Ryan's which is inked in equally strong blue felt tip. The stamps themselves are likewise NRMT. Fantastic break down value here, or a way to quickly fill some gaps in your Cooperstown autograph collection. LOA from PSA/DNA.

1940 Boston Red Sox Team Signed Baseball. In 1939, with the arrival of Ted Williams at the gates of Fenway, Major League Baseball would find two future 500 Home Run Club members sharing a dugout for the first time. This boldly autographed orb features splendid signatures from the second and fourth players to reach the mark, with Foxx a bona fide 10/10 and Williams just a point behind. Twenty-nine signatures appear on the OAL (Harridge) ball in total, with all but a few comparable in quality to the iconic Hall of Famers. These include Cronin, Grove, Doerr (light), coach Hugh Duffy, Dom DiMaggio, Cramer and more. A coating of shellac and some scattered surface wear are to be noted, but neither issue causes any significant visual concern. A great way to bring some top quality Red Sox Hall of Fame autographs into your collection with a single bid. LOA from James Spence Authentication.
