Pair of high-grade press pins issued, respectively, for the 1932 and 1937 World Series. These two gems are in extraordinary condition and this is not surprising as they hail from the collection of a longtime advanced press-pin collector who patiently sought only the very finest examples approaching perfection. 1) 1932 New York Yankees. Pristine memento from the Series that featured Ruth's "Called Shot." Manufactured by Dieges & Clust; threaded-post back. Approximately 1 x 1 inches. Near Mint to Mint. 2) 1937 New York Giants. Its extraordinary condition probably stems from the fact that it was never worn, as it remains attached to its original Dieges and Clust card as issued. Manufactured by Dieges & Clust; threaded-post back. Approximately 1 x 1 inches. Near Mint to Mint. Total: 2 pins. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000+. SOLD FOR $2,350
