So How Much is Vintage Mlb Memorabilia Really Worth?
It is always intriguing for MLB memorabilia collectors to get information on the highly priced collections. A look into an auction arranged by the luxury auctioneers Sotheby’s and SCP will help us find an answer. Let us look at the various items on offer at the June 10, 2005 event.
The first ball thrown at the opening of the Fenway Park in 1912 is estimated to be worth $30000 to $50000. The ticket from the same game is estimated to fetch around $6000 which was initially sold for $4. A 1986 Red Sox championship ring belonging to Bill Buckner is estimated at around twenty to thirty Grand. The bat that was signed by Babe Ruth in 1920 is able to fetch a quarter of a million dollar. It was used in the game between Yankees and Chicago White Sox. It is just not an ordinary bat but comes with a criminal history. No it wasn’t used to kill someone but instead it was signed for the infamous mayor William Thompson of Chicago, who allegedly had links with the underworld boss ‘Al Capone’.
A jersey worn by Lou Gehrig in 1937 is estimated at more than $200000. The baseballs used by the Giants between 1920’s and 1924 are able to fetch as much as $8000 in auctions. Similarly Babe Ruth’s handwritten letter to Boston Globe thanking for their support is deemed to be around $30000 to $50000. A signed baseball by Connie Mack, a popular hall of fame manager is can fetch $3000 whereas bats signed by President Woodrow Wilson are auctioned to sell at a hefty $30000.
Such sales as a Hall of Fame pin from Connolly, a handwritten lineup sheet between Cleveland and Boston in 1914 and a group of letters are all estimated to sell for more than $2000. A Ted Williams signed 1934 bat is estimated to cost $12000 while various balls from 1920’s to 1950’s signed by different hall of fammers are destined to collect around $15,000.

Lids.com has a couple that look like something you might be interested in. I have attached the links. One has a white "B" while the other had a red "B". The white "B" has all white exposed stitching, while the red "B" has red and white exposed stitching.

This is Bostons song
i love the idians and we should have beatn boston but i thnk its awesome watchn boston sing this song talk about tradition
actually it was his 2nd game and who knows how well he will do. He has a lot of potential, anyone can see that, but its too early to judge. I think he will have a successful career. But it all depends on his health and who knows if he will he get an injury and pitch bad like Wang this year
The Colorado Rockies rocks & this video ROCKS!!!!! 5 Stars C:
The red cap was their home cap. It was red with a navy bill and a navy B. The away cap was all navy with a red B.
great song ever!!
BA BA BAHHHHH!
Can you make a new one now that Boston isn’t even in it anymore…..looks like it may be another 86 years of sucking!
It was John Marzano, a former back up catcher. He apparently had a heart attack, but I think the official cause of death was the fall. He died satuday. here's a link:

Marzano was only 45. Apparently this runs in the family, as his father died young from heart problems.
Too bad. While he wasn't a Varitek or Fisk on the field, everyone seems to have loved this guy.
i now but it was just sick when every boby was up with there hands in the air
Gagne is a type B free agent. The Sox will get a sandwich pick between the first and 2nd round as compensation. You can get some good talent this way which is why they offered him arbitration. If they hadn't offered that they would not get the pick.
If only he had the numbers to be a type A free agent, then they would have got the Brewers 1st round pick as well.
