Antique Roadshow Wally Pip Sweater and Cleats

[nebboy]

Not problem with the sweater price, but I was a tiny suprised the cleats weren't more by 20%.

This sweater is a completely different style than the Witt sweater. Much greater Eye Appeal IMO. I think the 100k + range if it hit the Market now. Wonderful item happy it was shared.

Here J-dog, better matches just for you:

Still think its 50K-60K item based on the recent sale of the "comparable", but not exact match. And it's just Pipp, it's not Gehrig.


I just don't see how it gets to 100K from, again the "similar" one, that just sold for 38K, and I'd actually prefer a 1925 Jersey that went recently for only 11K:

Sweater over jersey? and 90K more then a jersey, just don't see it,
I'm sure we will find out shortly guessing its headed to auction soon.

As Mark and Jay already mentioned, this appraisal on AR is being quoted as insurance estimate, which is inflated a bit compared to auction prices because it takes into account the effort and cost it would take to find a replacement.

So if the insurance appraisal on the sweater is $75K, they are considering it would sell at auction for about $50K - $60K, which is probably on the mark or a bit conservative.

Hard to guess this one because of the unique status of Pipp.

Given two well-heeled Yankees collectors--and there are quite a few--the sweater would easily reach--and surpass--that estimate.

Q. Is the host Grant Zahajko a big name in authenticating?
