Gerritt Beneker water color study for Baseball Magazine: 'Ty Cobb Number'
(7x10) - $2,400, all-in. Shown next to final cover (not included). This WILL include a hardback 1st edition copy of 'Inventing Baseball Heroes' by Roessner. The book describes BB Magazine's editor F.C. Lane's process for choosing Gerritt Beneker to paint the cover for the 'Ty Cobb Number'. Print 'signature' on front, cursive signature on back. Payment by Paypal (it's a business account, so no dealing with F&F). My forum notifications aren't working, so it's best to email me at: eraserclam@gmail.com These paintings were originally made available to the public through a local auction in Gerritt Beneker's home town. Most were folded watercolor studies (as these are). Apparently Beneker would submit the requested study to the publisher, folded in an envelope, and it would be sent back to him after review (Beneker often hand-wrote a 'return to...' note on the back of each study). This could involve several interations. Eventually a design would be approved and Beneker would send in a final painting, a proof would be created and then would be published as the magazine cover. The studies shown below the Cobb print may be made available again at some point, depending on how out of hand my collecting habits get.

Come on, not even the usual tire-kicking?
![]() ...prices lowered I will be adding my late 1930's Ted Williams hand-written letter (while playing with Minneapolis) later today. For those of you who remember it and are interested, please feel free to send an advance email to: lessdrama(at)gmail(Dotcom). Also please remember that I'm easy to deal with, but I don't respond to extreme low-balling.

I'm putting the Cobb water color study up for sale again. I've grown attached to it, but something 'big' has to go.
