The original A.G. Spalding Brothers manufacturing label is also intact and features the short-lived hard composite bill found in hats of the 1920s and early '30s era.

Those are are just some of the details that helped the iconic cap land at $74,750, including the 15 percent buyer's premium in the 791-lot sale.

In a fun bit of auction company business, the Gehrig cap was bought by SCP Auctions for a private collector.
