Co. at no additional charge to you! You are bidding on: 3 (three) old uniform jersey patches (one patch each of Honus Wagner, Cy Young,  and Satchel Paige) that I believe were issued as premiums. Patches are approximately 2 5/8  x 2 6/8.  Valuable to collectors who desire a vintage baseball items.  BUT WE WILL OFFER THIS LOT AT JUST $49.99 to get it started!! Stored unprotected for years in Chicago, the patches are dirty and stained and some are frayed or have color wear.  All are similar in quality to the ones pictured (We have a couple of each listed in other auctions and priced on a individual basis but this is for the best  if you want all three).  You will receive patches of the same quality as the ones pictured, some show small frays and all show some staining and color fading.  You may want to try cleaning them, but I didn't want to risk it.  Would look nice matted and framed AS THEY ARE for display!  These patches are post WW2, 1948-1955 as the uniform worn by Satchel Paige has a "C" which stands for Cleveland Indians (he played there in 1948 and 1949) and both Wagner and Young died in 1955. Also, it was 1948, after WW2, that sport card collecting was resurrected by Bowman Gum, and color inks and material were again becoming available in the post-war market. I have not been able to identify which company marketed this premium but do believe the patches were made in Chicago. This could have been a premium in a loaf of bread, box of cereal or a bubble gum company.  VERY RARE! You will not be disappointed in the beauty and quality of this rare item!  Fragile and valuable items requires special handling and ins./cert. that WE WILL PAY FOR!!! USE BUY IT NOW to ensure you win this item!  I didn't on a recent auction and lost it!  LESSON LEARNED! Place a Bid!
