The auction event may draw more than $4 million in bids and the beloved backstop of the Brooklyn Bums is positioned to notch the top result in the sale: Roy Campanellas 1956 home white flannel jersey likely to surpass its $100,000-up pre-auction estimate.
The largest Super Bowl ring ever designed issued to members of the 2016 New England Patriots bears a pre-auction estimate of $60,000-up. It is the first of its kind to see the hobbys auction block.
Hall of Fame outfielder Enos Slaughter, best remembered for scoring the winning run in the 1946 World Series with his legendary Mad Dash, supplies over 200 lots for consideration, each accompanied by a letter of provenance from his family.
