March 24, 2022: Spring Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 3/24/2022
Offered is a wonderful 9-by-12-inch color photograph of the Milwaukee Braves from Henry Aaron’s Rookie season in 1954, with the 20-year-old Hall-of-Famer-in-Waiting dutifully planted in the back row among his older teammates on that historic ball club. It is a piece that was displayed in Aaron’s office and was ultimately gifted by Aaron to his personal assistant, Susan Bailey. The team photo has been attractively matted and framed to 17-by-14-inch overall dimensions, with an elegant 2-inch black-frame border and protective plexiglass. A copy of a Letter of Authenticity from Bailey accompanies the lot, along with a Bailey/Aaron hologram that is affixed to the piece.
