Brooklyn Dodgers Limited-Edition Display of 1951, 1952 and 1954 Baseball Cards.
Lot 352. Brooklyn Dodgers Limited-Edition Display of 1951, 1952 and 1954 Baseball Cards. The 1951 Dodgers were victims of the “Shot Heard ‘Round the World,” and the 1952 team won the N.L. pennant. These two teams and the 1954 Dodgers are represented in 44 cards on this attention-grabbing 22.5” x 25.5” Ernie Montella laminated display plaque. Co-founder of the Philadelphia A’s Historical Society, Montella used his talents to produce very-limited-edition plaques using a combination of vintage, “archives” and reproduction cards. This plaque is unique; he did not make any others like it. The cards in this display, which includes an aerial image of Ebbets Field, are laminated, with a linen finish, to mahogany. Among the cards are 1951 Bowman Snider, Reese and Campanella cards, 1951 Hodges and 1954 Robinson, Hodges, Gilliam, Black, Labine, Lasorda and Snider. There also is a 1994 Topps “1954” archives card of Clemente as a member of the Montreal Royals. The plaque has a scratch on the Clemente card; otherwise, it is nm. Montella signed the back of the display. (Note: This display weighs approximately 14 pounds.)
Winning Bid $100.
