 Lot 20. Mel Ott Single Signed Ball. Black fountain pen signature on side panel. Ball is consistently medium tanned throughout with few scrapes and scratches. Signature overall rates 5-7, with the last “t” quite light. Opposite panel has the following notation “Bobby Martin and from Bob to Tom.” The Spalding trademark is visible but worn. On the opposite sweet spot, the last part of ‘league’ is barely visible. That with the Spalding trademark lends us to believe that it is an Official NL ball. This ball was obviously a childhood possession that was used. Comes with a Mike Guiterrez COA.
Minimum Bid $1,000.

 Lot 21. Huge collection of 624 Chicago Cub autographs mostly on 3 x 5 cards. Collection includes Banks, Boudreau, Dawson, Durocher, Gossage, Grimes, Hartnett, Herman, Irvin, Kiner, Sandberg and Williams. The Sandberg is noteworthy as it was dated and signed in 1982, his rookie year, and represented a rare “readable” signature before it became a scrawl. Some of the 3 x 5’s are cuts. An excellent collection. Comes with a Mike Guiterrez COA.
Minimum Bid $250.

 Lot 24. Six 1879 Buffalo graphic cabinets. A never before offered set of 6 cabinets featuring drawing and commentary centered around the Buffalo Team of 1879. All cards show the symbolic Buffalo and make punful reference to game events naming Buffalo players and other players in the league. e.g. The Buffalos will be re-WARDed tomorrow”. Two cards show the Buffalo lineup which included star pitcher and HOF’er James “Pud” Galvin. Other prominent players, who are referred to are Davy Force and Manager Bill McGunnigle, Dave Eggler, etc. Five cards are near mint and one is excellent.
Minimum Bid $1,500.

 Lot 25. 1886 New York Giant Cabinet. Beautiful cabinet of a great team. Roger Connor, John Ward, Tim Keefe, Buck Ewing, Mickey Welch and James O’Rourke are among the 14 players. The photographer was J. Wood, a player with the National Association in 1871. An interesting note is that Wood died in 1886.The photo of Welch is the same one used in his Four base Hit. The photos can also be seen on other 19th Century cards including G & B’s and Yum-Yums. The only fault in the card’s condition is a scrape at the upper right of the picture of Gerhardt. This has been hand drawn in to try and give its original appearance. Otherwise a couple of 1/4” wrinkles. Still excellent.
Minimum Bid $750.

 Lot 26. Three pieces of 1880s Baseball Currency. A popular advertising vehicle in the late 1880’s was selling scrip in the form of currency to major league teams to advertisers who would display their business on the rear of the bill and sometimes on the front. The offered lot has the 1888 Detroit team (Thompson, Brouthers, Hanlon, etc) with Manager Watkins on the reverse (gd-vg), the 1887 Detroit team (same players, excellent) and the 1887 Chicago team (Anson, Clarkson, Sunday, Ryan) with manager Spalding on the reverse (ex-mt). The 1887 Detroit snuck through without an ad which is unusual. It is interesting to note the player on the list of the ad side is Cap Anson regardless of the team.
Minimum Bid $500.

The Carruthers has an ex-mt front but has some minor paper loss on the back.
Minimum Bid $750.
