BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! A Collection of Historic Baseball Photographs and Signed Pete Gray Print
This collection consists of approximately ten items featuring prominent figures and historic moments from Major League Baseball. The lot includes a signed color print of Pete Gray, the one-armed outfielder for the St. Louis Browns, which contains biographical information and a signature in blue ink transcribed as: P, e, t, e, G, r, a, y. Two photographs of Hall of Famer Larry Doby are present: a colorized portrait in a Cleveland Indians uniform and a black-and-white image of him in a dugout leaning over a bat rack. Action and historical photography includes a color image of the 1965 altercation between Juan Marichal and John Roseboro with Sandy Koufax visible in the background, a black-and-white photograph of Babe Ruth in a batting stance wearing jersey number 3, and a black-and-white photograph of Eddie Gaedel in a St. Louis Browns uniform tipping his cap. The collection also features two black-and-white lifestyle photographs of Ted Williams on fishing trips and a black-and-white photograph of two men engaged in an arm-wrestling match, with one individual wearing a fringed Western-style shirt. A black-and-white home plate action scene featuring a catcher, umpire, and batter is also included. Most items appear to be in standard 8×10 inch formats.
Condition report:
The photographs and print appear to be in good overall condition with some minor edge and corner wear from handling. Many of the images appear to be modern reprints or licensed restrikes of historical photographs. There are no visible third-party authentication labels or certificates of authenticity (COA) from services such as PSA/DNA, JSA, or Beckett for the Pete Gray signature.
