109. 1916 Boston Red Sox Photographic Scorecard w/Babe Ruth
MINIMUM BID: $500 Outstanding Boston Red Sox stock certificate, signed in dark fountain pen by team owner Joseph Lannin. The certificate was issued to August Hermann, who was president of the Cincinnati Reds for 25 years. The certificate presents Hermann with 40 shares of stock, and has been signed twice by Lannin and once by Hermann. The certificate has been cancelled and is noted as such across the face in pencil. Pencil markings appear elsewhere on the piece, which presents extremely well but does exhibit wear along the right edge that includes two corner clips. The edge wear implies that the certificate was, at some point, stored in a ledger book or folder of some kind. Despite the pencil markings, the piece makes for an outstanding display, issued just two months after the Red Sox 1916 World Championship. LOA from James Spence Authentication.
108. 1915 World Series Braves Field Official Program - Babe Ruth’s First World Series
Remarkable official Braves Field program for the 1915 World Series between the Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Phillies. During this Series, Babe Ruth made his first World Series appearance, a single pinch hit appearance in the ninth inning of the first game, grounding out against Grover Cleveland Alexander. Despite winning 18 games in the Red Sox rotation, Ruth did not appear in the Series as a pitcher. The program presents extremely well but exhibits significant wear in the form of toning and overall soiling. The program is completely intact, though pages are very slightly loose. Some wrinkling is evident, as is edge and corner wear. Of primary significance here are the two rookie-era photos that picture Babe Ruth. The first appears right on the outside back cover, in an advertisement for Stag brand sweaters, the same image used in the scarce and desirable Stag Sweaters advertising cabinet photo. The second team photo appears on an inside page, a similar photo to the desirable and valuable 1915 Red Sox team postcard taken within seconds of the postcard image. A very highly coveted World Series scorecard featuring rookie era photos of Babe Ruth.
