This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 3/19/2020
Here’s an old-time auction lot worthy of Saturday night at Fort Washington in the 1980s, a huge grouping of essentially as-issued coins, medallions, pins and more, a grouping as extensive as it is eclectic and begging for a good deal of careful examination. Five dozen World Series, All-Star Game and HOF Induction pins headline, which is saying a good deal in an array that includes miniature bats, a silver baseball, a World Series Bulova Watch and even a $5 poker chip autographed by the legendary Don Larsen.
