1951 Brooklyn Dodgers Team Signed Baseball Used
<B>1951 Brooklyn Dodgers Team Signed Baseball Used in Preacher Roe's Twentieth Win Game.</B></I> The clear Cy Young Award winner for 1951, if such an award existed at the time, Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Preacher Roe instead had to settle for The Sporting News' Pitcher of the Year honors for his final record this season of twenty-two wins against just three defeats. Presented here is a baseball Roe saved from his historic twentieth victory, notated on the side panel in his hand, "Sept. 14, 1951, Dodgers - 3, Pirates - 1, W - 20, L - 2, Preacher Roe." The ONL (Frick) ball shows fine use from this dominating performance, and bears the 9/10 autographs of teammates Robinson, Campanella, Reese, Snider, Hodges, Dressen, Pafko, Pitler, Furillo and Cox. The tough question now is how should you display the ball? Do you prefer Roe's inscription, or the panel signed by Campy, Pee Wee and Jackie? <I>LOA from PSA/DNA. From the Personal Collection of Preacher Roe, with his letter of provenance.</B></I> <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.5% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers, and all other information should be considered preliminary.
