To me it depends on the condition. I have seen some with major dings. Also because it was made of high grade silver, it tarnishes easily. Some specimens have significant scratches caused by using abrasive cleaners. If the specimen is free of defects, I think the price is fine.

is it all silver or plated. also it is in very good cond.

for $550.00 and I would have paid a thousand if I had to. Solid silver and in sparkling condition. Yes it was given to players, coaches, and front office staff. Also tarnishes very fast. Mine is now stored in an airtight container.

BTW... DiMaggio had one as well. It was lot #574 in the DiMaggio/Hunt Auction with an estimate of $500-1000. Price realized... $3910.00
