1939 Gehrig All-Star Pin Tops Goldin Sale

June 5, 2017 By Rich Mueller

The 1939 All-Star Game pin presented to an ailing Lou Gehrig sold for $171,500 to top bidding in Goldin Auctions’ latest catalog sale.

Lou Gehrig 1939 All Star pinThe pin was the only one not donated by Gehrig’s wife Eleanor to the Hall of Fame, as it was given to one of the nurses who took care of him in his final days. It remained in her family until it was originally sold by her nephew in 1989.

Two other items topped six-figures in the auction, which generated $3.5 million in sales from the 70 live lots that closed May 20 and over 2,000 online lots that ended early Sunday morning.  The marriage certificate from the 1954 wedding of Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe sold for $122,500 while a 1928 Jimmie Foxx game-used side-written bat graded GU10 by PSA/DNA soared to $108,000, the most ever paid for a Foxx bat.

The auction attracted a record number of bids, winning bidders and unique bidders in the company’s history.  “We are thrilled that so many different collectors participated and won,” said company founder Ken Goldin. “The rare premium items in our live auction coupled with the diverse and unique lots we offered online made for a perfect combination to attract a wide variety of collectors. It’s a great event when bidders are excited for their win and our consignors are satisfied with the prices realized.”
