Highlighted by a pair of publications hailing from the collection of Pee Wee Reese including a 1952 World Series program, we have a nice vintage baseball collection of 6, with a 1957 World Series ticket stub, a trio of 1914 B18 felt blankets and the aforementioned publications. First, the 1952 World Series program contains the team rosters but has not been scored, with moderate handling wear present including some light staining, toning, spine wear and a blemish over the back cover. The Dodgers would fall to the three-time defending champion New York Yankees in 1952, in seven games. The next publication from the Reese collection is a 1954 Dodgers Yearbook, with general wear including heavy toning along with a small tear at the base of the spine, with a musty smell present. The center-fold is also detached but present. Next, the 1957 Fall Classic stub hails from Game 1, played at Yankee Stadium on Oct 2, 1957, with the Bombers taking out the Braves, 3-1. The boys from Milwaukee would go on to take the series in seven. There is a rough-torn edge, along with a few creases, with the stub displaying well overall with bright colours. Lastly, the three B18 blankets include Wagner (green infield), Cole (blue infield) and Sodgrass (white infield), with each featuring rough cut edges, along with just general handling wear and no obtrusive marks or damage (there are a few dark marks to the infield of the Snodgrass blanket, but it still displays well). A pair of copies of the original LOAs for the Reese publications signed by his son are included.
