Incredible Unopened and Sealed Twelve Count Box of Spalding John Heydler National League baseballs c.1926. To convey the rarity of this item seems petty given the obvious fragility relative to its' age and original purpose to be opened and used/distributed. The offered box features colorful outer paper decoated box with images of President Heydler and an NL ball with its' box. Inside awaits (12) unopened and presumably sealed Heydler NL baseball mint in their original boxes. If that is not enough around the body of the box remains its' original Spalding factory issued paper seal. Box itself has some general light age wear incl. some abrasions at edges, separation at one corner joint, and slight paper chipping. Paper seal remains unrestored and intact with some minor splitting at corners of seal on lid. A pre auction poll of advanced collectors and dealers alike produced the conclusion that this is the only known surviving example of its' type: Box: EX (With note to minor flaws incl. seal), Balls: Unknown but presumably NM-MT |

McGreevey is one of Boston's men of legend who was the owner and bartender of M.T. McGreevey & Co, Importers or what was better known to fans as the Third Base Saloon because it was the last stop on the ways home after the game. McGreevey became the leader of the "Royal Rooters" fan club who cheered for their Boston Pilgrims at every home game. Included with the ball is a cabinet photograph of McGreevey in his Nuf Ced Boston uniform while at Spring Training with the team in 1906 and (2) telegrams from Boston's Jimmy Collins to Hughie Jennings. Offered ball represents not only an intriguing Boston related artifact but a game used ball of large significance due to its' use in the inaugural World Series of 1903.

Significant 1905 World Series Last Out Baseball inscribed by John McGraw. Enormously significant toned and game used official baseball which is believed to be the last ball in play on October 14, 1905 when the New York Giants defeated their arch rivals the Phila. Athletics for the World Championship. Game #5 pitted the two most feared pitchers in baseball against each other; the A's Chief Bender and the Giants Christy Mathewson. Bender pitched well giving up only five hits but Mathewson was just too much retiring the final ten batters that he faced to win his third game of the Series with a record third shutout and complete what many hostorian feel is among the greatest accomplishments in baseball history. Ball itself is toned and shows good game usage wear, McGraw has signed the side panel, "To Mr. Brush I give to you this Championship base ball J.J. McGraw". Sigature and inscription are clearly legible and rate between 4-7 out of 10. Other panels are inscribed as follows: Panel #1-"Giants 1905 Champs of the World"; Panel #2-"Phila. v. New York Nationals Series "1905" Oct. 14. '05 Last Ball in Play Mathewson Defeats Bender"; Panel #3-"From His Giants to the "Mr." McGraw 1905". Ball is accompanied by a period scrapbook from John McGraw's effects believed to have been compiled by his wife that includes John Brush signed letter from Dec. 21, 1905 regarding a "present". Based on the ball inscriptions, provenance, and scrapbook we can clearly deduce that this last out ball was presented by the team to John McGraw and then given by McGraw to Giants President John Brush. The ball came from the collection of McGraw so we can only assume that the ball was at some point returned to John McGraw possibly upon the death of Brush. It is notable and extraordinarily rare that a ball of this significance with clear lineage of descent and provenance becomes available for public sale and should be considered one of the finest pieces of its' type in the hobby: VG-EX overall |

Tail of jersey has been trimmed (most likely by Leibold) and as such probably had Leibold's name chain stitched on tail. Pants are matching grey flannel with identical Thos. E. Wilson & Co. tag, "Leboldt" (misspelled, not uncommon for the era) chain stitched along button area of crotch. Other then trimmed tail both shirt and pants remain very clean with light overall wear. Leibold was the team's smallest player and given the small size of the jersey and pants would not have fit any other player on the team. This style of uniform is not only exceedingly rare but among the most desired of all teams from the era with very few similar examples extant.

Imperial cabinet presentational photograph of the 1888 New York Giants by Joseph Hall. This photograph is particulary important both because of its' extraordinary size (20"x25") and because it was likely taken in connection with the Oct. 14, 1888 New York Giants dinner at which De Wolf Hopper first recited "Casey at the Bat". It was reported that as Hopper was about to recite the famous anticlimactic last line that Buck Ewing's mustache was observed to twitch. Along with Ewing are pictured HOF'ers Ward, O'Rourke, and Connor all beneath a banner proclaiming the 1888 Giants "The Champions for 1889" as was customary. Image exhibits superb contrast and clarity with (2) small repairs to the top left, mount has some typical age wear to edges all of which could easily be matted out.
