I'm guessing some of you might not be familiar with the fact that balls from the 1919 World Series while not abundant are not Scarce-Scarce......."like one in a million! This is the only surviving example, WOW!" That's not the case.

Search auction history of Heritage and Goldin. They have sold at auction. I'd say they average around 10-15K.

Also, see posts on the memorabilia side, one collector on this board has 2 in his collection.

Extremely neat, but other things are much more scarce.

Regardless, I think the letter and general provenance elevate this one to a very significant place within the hobby.

Letter is very cool indeed.

And it is a great find.

But there are a few other balls from the Series I'd take over that Sandlot looking one, like the one signed by all 4 umpires, and like the ones that have the game #, and or Stats etc on the ball itself.

This mangy one with the cool letter I'm saying 10K-20K in the current atmosphere.

If any of the players struck out deliberately, and weren't trying their best, then I don't put any value on that record.

I have a game used baseball from the same game, signed by the umpires! This is a super cool find.

Just got around to reading this one. Very cool article and neat ball, Jay.
