Leland’s Reveals Auction Details

December 7, 2011 By Rich Mueller

Among the featured items in Lelands.com current auction, which closes December 16 is an extremely rare jersey worn by baseball Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew,  Derek Jeter’s ball from his 3000th hit at bat, a 1971 Pele Brazil Game Worn Jersey, and championship rings from Jim Katcavage and Darvin Ham.

The 100% original, 1959 Washington Senators jersey (Reserve: $10,000) is one of only three known to still exist, and the only one of the three to be photo-matched.  Bidding is at $16,500 with ten days remaining in the auction.

“This is a rare treasure–one of the greatest jerseys from one of the greatest home run hitters of all time,” says company rep Mike Heffner. “We absolutely classify it as the finest of the three Harmon Killebrew Washington Senators jerseys known to exist.”

On July 9, 2011, All-Star shortstop Derek Jeter became just the second player in major league history to homer for his 3,000th career hit. This ball (Reserve: $10,000) is one of only four from that historic at bat specially marked “J1” by MLB.

A 2004 Darvin Ham Detroit Pistons (Reserve: $5,000) and 1956 Jim Katcavage New Your Giants (Reserve: $10,000) are just two of several championship rings offered in Lelands.com current auction.

Other notable sports highlights in the auction include:

  • Home run bat Frank Robinson 5001971 Frank Robinson 500th Career Home Run Bat
  • 1986 Barry Bonds Pittsburgh Pirates Game-Worn Rookie Jersey- Worn For His First Major League Home Run
  • 19th Century Lyon Mountain Baseball Club Uniform Breastplate
  • 1940s Mel Ott Game-Used Bat
  • 1914 Detroit Tigers Panoramic Photograph featuring Ty Cobb-twice

When this photo was taken, players had to stand still for several seconds, allowing time for some tomfoolery. Cobb was at one end of the picture when the photo was snapped and sprinted to the other end before the exposure was completed. Thus, he is in the photo twice.

  • Three Tickets to Christy Mathewson’s Final Major League Game/Win

We have never seen even one of these before: four of these tickets known to exist and the other resides with the consignor in his personal collection.

  • Gil Hodges’ 1956 Tour of Japan Robe

Includes an enclosed photo of Hodges wearing the robe and an LOA from Hodges’ wife, Joan.

  • Late 1930s Charlie Gehringer Game-Used Bat
  • Late 1930s Mickey Cochrane Game-Used Bat
  • Lou Gehrig Last Game Program

A lesser known fact is that Gehrig participated in an exhibition game pitting the New York Yankees against their top farm club, the old Kansas City Blues more than a month after his career “ended” on May 2, 1939. This program is from that very last game, on June 11, 1939.

  • Thirty Sets of 1980-81 Topps Basketball Cards in Uncut Sheet Form (60 sheets)

In the middle of the book are signatures of 39 notables from the tour.
