April 5, 2018: Sports & Americana Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 4/5/2018
This copy of "Bums: An Oral History of the Brooklyn Dodgers" is signed by 19 different team members, led by Sandy Koufax, Duke Snider and Tom Lasorda. The rest of the lineup includes: Andy Pafko, Mickey Owen, Herman Franks, George "Shotgun" Shuba, Don Demeter, Don Newcombe, Elmer Valo, Roger Craig, Armando Vasquez, Clyde King, Al Giontriddo, Carl Erskine, Newcombe (again later in the book), Billy Loes, Joe Black and Johnny Podres. The signatures are all in very nice shape and in ballpoint pen, with Lasorda signing the title page, the first eight names listed signing an inside page and then most of the rest, including Snider and Koufax signing by their images in the book. We should point out that there is some staining later in the book, but the only signature page it detracts from is Snider, and it doesn't hit the perfect ballpoint pen signature. The signatures in the book has been authenticated by BAS with a full LOA.
