Auction details |
Important Notice: Please note that the format of this auction differs from a traditional eBay Live auction in that only absentee bids are accepted. There is no live "bidding on the close" in which to participate. All lots offered in this auction will close at exactly the same time, as opposed to a traditional one at a time closing of lots, and therefore there is no live "one lot at a time" bidding close in which to participate. Your left bids will compete with all other left bids by auction participants. Bids may be placed on the eBay system at any time prior to 9:00 PM EST, May 1, 2004. No bids will be recognized or accepted when the eBay Live "live bidding applet" is run early in the morning of May 2, 2004 strictly for the purpose of officially registering and recording the final auction results.
Two 1913 Boston Garters Evers and Herzog Two rare 1913 Boston Garters comprise this lot: The first is Hall of Famer Johnny Evers. The second is Charles "Buck" Herzog, who though he finished the 1913 season with the Giants, is noted on the reverse as being "Manager of Cincinnati National League team for the season of 1914" (once again strongly suggesting that the set was actually issued in 1914, as opposed to the 1913 year of issue which has always been associated with this set). The Evers appears to be in Excellent condition, but under a black light we have detected a very minor degree of extremely professional restoration to a very small area at the center of the left border (less than half a dime in area) which appears to have been executed to remedy damage caused by a silver fish insect. This restoration is virtually undetectable, and does not detract from the otherwise Excellent condition of the card, but must be duly noted for the sake of accuracy. The second card, Herzog, has some corner wear, particularly in the upper left corner, and some very light residue, possibly from glue that has long been removed, barely detectable along the far right side. The reverse has the remnants of five small clear stamp hinges, and two small notations, one reading "1911," the other "H813." Despite minor faults, Herzog is still a clean and very attractive example in overall Vg condition. Each measure 8.25 x 4 inches. Total two cards. Reserve $2,000. Estimate $4,000/$6,000.
