Wide array of game-used jerseys available in Grey Flannel Holiday Auction

Grey Flannel’s Holiday Auction, which is currently open for bidding, provides its loyal customers with an array of game-used memorabilia, historical artifacts, screen-worn Hollywood collectibles and rare one-of-a-kind autographs. The auction ends Wednesday, Dec. 7.

One of the highlights of the auction is a 1910 Christy Mathewson Highlanders vs. Giants NYC Interleague “Manhattan Championship” players ring. Mathewson won three games during the series.

The ring is made of 14kt gold and is accompanied by an LOA from an independent jeweler. It is also accompanied by a plethora of copied documentation that sources the ring back to Christy Walsh’s law firm that was directly involved with the commissioner’s office back in the early 1900s.

For game-used jersey collectors, the auction includes a variety from all sports.
The highlight for baseball game-used jerseys is a 1939 George Selkirk New York Yankees game-used pinstriped home flannel jersey, which is adorned with Babe Ruth’s iconic No. 3.

Another top baseball jersey available is a late-1940s Warren Spahn Boston Braves game-used and autographed jersey. Inside the jersey on the rear collar is a “Horace partridge” size “42” manufacturers tag. Below is a white felt strip tag with the player name, “Spahn” embroidered on it in red chain-stitching. The jersey is sourced from a team scout 30 years ago and is fresh to the hobby.
