This Auction Features
The Jay Turek Collection
Lots 1-29 originate from the personal collection of Jay Turek. Jay has been a lifelong collector and a fixture within the hobby for decades. Jay's passion for game worn MLB jerseys and hats is legendary within the hobby noted especially for his focus on scarcity and condition grade. Jay’s expertise in vintage flannel jerseys has long been sought after by hobbyists and auction professionals alike with a knowledge base second to none within the field. We have been privileged to name Jay as a three decade client, and friend, of our company on the bidding side to which we could not be more proud to now add "consignor" to his respected name. Many of the items within the Turek Collection are being offered for the first time publicly with his vintage trading card collection to be sold within our Fall calendar of sales.
The Stoneham Family Collection
Lots 106-142 originate from from descendants of the Stoneham family who were the owners of the New York Giants. Beginning in 1919 Charles Stoneham purchased the baseball franchise for the sum of $1,000,000 and enjoyed great success during his tenure along with the leadership of manager John McGraw. The Giants appeared in six World Series winning three in 1921, 1922, and 1933 until Charles' passing in 1936. Charles’ son Horace Stoneham took control of the team in 1936 and continued the Giants winning ways again capturing NL pennants in 1936, 1937,1951, and 1962 with one World Championship in 1954. Notably, Horace re-located the Giants franchise to San Francisco in 1958 which while controversial was necessitated by economic factors. The Giants remain one of the crown jewels of Major League Baseball with a rich history dating to the late 19th century among the more significant of any team. The offered materials originate directly from the Stoneham family and are being offered for the first time publicly. Several of the pieces within the collection merit the highest consideration as unique surviving artifacts relating to some of the most iconic names and moments in baseball history with unimpeachable provenance to the Stoneham family.
