100+ Baseball Items from the Estates of Eddie Stanky and Milt Stock.
Lot 313. 100+ Baseball Items from the Estates of Eddie Stanky and Milt Stock. Mixed assortment of photos, cards, publications, correspondence – and potential “sleepers.” Stanky played second base for the Cubs, Dodgers, Braves, Giants and Cardinals and managed the Cards, White Sox and Rangers. Stock was Stanky’s father-in-law. He played third base for the Giants, Cardinals, Phillies and Robins (Brooklyn), coached in the majors and managed in the minors. The collection includes George Burke photos, 3.5” x 5.25” and larger, of Stan Musial, Pee Wee Reese (4” x 6”), Dixie Walker, Al Dark and Jerry Priddy. A Joe Gordon photo has the appearance of a Burke product but lacks the stamp of the Chicago photographer. There are 10 b&w photos 8” x 10” or larger of Stanky; two show him with drummer Gene Krupa. Ten recently printed copies of a photo show Stanky with Jackie Robinson, Reese and Spider Jorgensen as the Opening Day infield for the Dodgers on April 15, 1947. The photo is used in seven 8” x 10” broadsides marking the 50th anniversary of the day. Ty Cobb is the subject of a 3.25” x 3.25” b&w photo, possibly from 1949. Cobb is also in an attractive, framed 8” x 10 b&w premium that has a facsimile autograph printed in blue. An actual photo of Frank McCormick is on a 4” x 6.5” photo. Dated 1944, it is personalized to Stock and authenticated by Kevin Keating. A newspaper photo of the Baseball Hall of Fame is on a 7” x 7” wood plaque, and on the back, it’s addressed to “Coach Ed Stanky.” Among the cards are a 1975 TCMA 1951 New York Giants near set, 32 of 34 including Mays; an early 1900s postcard of the St. Vincent boys baseball team; team-issued photos of Hanyzewski, Jack Banta and Erv Palica; and, in unseparated panels, Series 5-8 of the 1993 Keebler-Albertsons All-Time set, including Gaylord Perry, Billy Martin, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro, Ivan Rodriquez and Nolan Ryan. Publications include three copies of the 1984 “Dodgers Blue Book”; the April 1947 and Jan. 1949 issues of “Baseball Digest,” f; the 1967 “American League Regulations and Waiver Reference,” and the oversized softcover, “Newspaper Reports About Big League Baseball in the Big Apple: The New York Giants, 1901-1957” by Thomas Antonucci. There also are two Jackie Robinson first-day covers with his image and U.S. postage stamp from 1982 and various other items. The entertainment value alone is worth our starting bid.
Winning Bid $138.
