Significant Roy Campanella 1955 National League Most Valuable Player Award. On the surface 1955 was just another year for Roy Campanella as he compiled his usual lofty statistics including .318 batting average, 32 home runs, 107 RBI's, and committed just six errors all season long. But as any Brooklyn loyalist will state 1955 was not just another year, the Dodgers managed to finally break through against the Yankees in the World Series capturing their first World Championship due in large part to Roy Campanella's regular season and World Series performance. The offered award was presented to Roy Campanella in honor of his 1955 MVP season with the Dodgers which was his third title in five years. Original black painted wooden plaque measures 16" in diameter with original surface. Applied to the front is octagonal sterling silver placard with 10K gold K.Landis bust vignette, Roy Campanella nameplate, and 1955 year plate. Front is stamped "Sterling Dieges & Clust" at lower right, back of plaque retains original Dieges & Clust metal tag and original brass ringlet for wall mounting. Very clean overall with some very minor paint flaking on edge and a few tiny surface nicks to the silver facade. The Most Valuable Player award is the most coveted individual performance award in Major League baseball to which all players strive to achieve during their career. The offered MVP award is simply stated the most significant to become available to the collecting public with relation to player quality, team/year desirability, and provenance. Truly unique opportunity to acquire a museum quality piece that would be the centerpiece of any advanced baseball collection. Includes letter of provenance from the Campanella family: EX/MT-NM |

Significant Roy Campanella 1951 National League Most Valuable Player award. The 1951 National League season would end with Giants and Dodgers tied for first place. A three game playoff series followed with the teams splitting the first two games and the third game to be played in New York at the Polo Grounds. The rest was history as Bobby Thomson hit the famous 9th inning home run to send the Dodgers home for the winter. Although team success for the Dodgers ended with that playoff game Roy Campanella finished the season with extraordinary numbers batting a career high .325, compiled a career high (164) hits, and hit (33) home runs. As such he was awarded what would be the first of three NL MVP awards. Original black painted wooden plaque measures 16" in diameter with original surface. Applied to the front is octagonal sterling silver placard with 10K gold K.Landis bust vignette, Roy Campanella nameplate, and 1951 year plate.

Significant Roy Campanella September 29, 1957 final game worn cleats. The offered baseball cleats were the final pair that Roy Campanella wore in a Brooklyn Dodger game against the Phila. Phillies on September 29, 1957. As a fairly important footnote it is very logical to assume that these cleats were also worn by Campanella on September 24th which was the last game played at Ebbets Field. The notability of these shoes is ironically not because the Brooklyn Dodgers were playing their final season before moving to Los Angeles but in fact because Roy Campanella suffered a career ending injury in a car accident in January of 1958. The cleats have been bronzed and mounted on wooden plaque with placard attached denoting the date and significance of the cleats. It would be obvious to say that as these shoes were being packed up in the locker room by Roy after the season that he did not give much thought to the impending significance that they would symbolize as Campanella was paralyzed for the remainder of his life after the accident. Very appropriate final lot from the Campanella collection with poignant relavance to Roy's life as a baseball player and social figure. Includes letter of provenance from the Campanella family: EX |

Significant 1958 Roy Campanella Brooklyn Dodgers contract. The offered contract was to pay Roy Campanella $42,000.00 for the 1958 season which promised to be full of excitement as the Dodgers were moving to Los Angeles. The contract is dated January 2, 1958 signed by Roy and Dodger Vice President Bavasi but unfortunately would be rendered useless as in January of the same year Roy Campanella was permanently paralyzed in an auto accident. Contract remains clean overall with some toning to one area on the front, signatures rate 9 out of 10. Given the fact that Roy's accident took place on 1958 it is very likely that this contract which was pre-dated was one of the last items to be signed by Roy Campanella.
