Colorful Ted Williams Coca-Cola Ad Surprise

Piggs

A friend of my Dads gave this to me last week while visiting (I think all my Dad's friends know I collect cards etc). It's pretty cool and I think it's original measuring 13.5X17.5. It had a bad frame and left

shading around where the matte was. Couldn't find any on ebay to compare it to so not sure if it's even worth anything. It's in my collection so that doesn't matter. I was thinking how great it would

have been with a Ted signature on it. Take care. Doug

Very nice color and design, hope you can find a good place to display it.

Someone had a slightly larger one on ebay and said "This 13x22" cardboard sign was never used, since Coke feared a suit from Moxie, which had Ted Williams under contract. It is in excellent condition, slight browning on the edges due to age. Sinse it is unlisted, the value would probably be $200-300 duue to its rarity."

Thanks mlbfan, maybe the bottom was cut off at some point. Appreciate the info on it.

I like the poster. A super gift!

The generalized image and the allusion to Williams reminds me of the Champs prophylactics.



And we all know what the "Williams" image looks like - captured - also - in the 60s Hartland:

That's a great looking sign with Teddy Ballgame.

Just a classic...

Very funny Mike. It looks like everyone wanted Ted to help them sell products, permission or not. I noticed one of the "Champs" has been opened, what up with that?

That's awesome!

They were a substandard product. That's why someone is here now - posting on CU.

Niiiice. That'd fit into any baseball collection!

Congrats!

[edited to add:] Are those bags of buttons in the background? My wife is a button-nut...

Mike, you're always a fountain of information. I'd like to hear the story behind the prophlyactics, though! Personal purchase??

That poster just sold at auction for 4500.

The one on ebay sold for close to 2000
