Auction Watch: Veterans Stadium Turnstiles
This week one of the more rare pieces of memorabilia related to the former Veterans Stadium popped up on eBay - twice! A pair of green, Perey-produced metal turnstiles which once guarded the gates at the former home of the Phillies and Eagles were made available in separate auctions, for $1,150 and $2,000, respectively.
As I wrote previously, I bought one of these artifacts from the Phillies soon after the team moved into Citizens Bank Park. At the time it cost $200 - which was a stretch for me. Results of the few auctions that have offered them to the public since have proven I made a good investment. Like this example from a 2013 listing from Hunt Auctions, prices have been in the $500-600 range - so, these two are rare, but priced above current market value. Check out the auctions here:
