I'm amazed at the prices realized by Ruth and Gehrig's "retired numbers," lots 20 and 21, which brought $20,226, and $21,238 respectively, without the juice.
Yes, they did hang at the Stadium, but there's not a shred of evidence that they were ever removed from game-worn uniforms, and it has never been claimed by anyone (even in the Mastro auction description) that they were.
In fact, it is highly unlikely that they were ever part of a full Yankee uniform, game-used or not.
