This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 4/2/2015
The man who performed the only unassisted triple play in World Series history is nicely commemorated here with a three-bagger that includes a Wamby autograph cut and a Very Good condition 1921 Neilson’s Chocolate V61 card and an 8-by-10-inch color informational sheet with information about his historic moment compiled by the Hall of Fame. The Neilson’s Chocolate card is a truly important set, one of the candy issues from the 1920’s that helped to bridge the gap between the early tobacco issues and the gum offerings to come during the Depression. The autograph cut is a handsome Wambsganss blue ballpoint autograph on a clean 3-by-5-inch card, both in superb condition and the index card slabbed Authentic by PSA/DNA.
