Up for auction is this Original Authentic Chicago Cubs club seating chair made for the 1990 All-Star Game at Wrigley Field. Only 90 Limited Edition seats were produced; this is number 23 of 90. It is signed by Ryne Sandberg #23 on the backrest cushion. Signature is large and clear. The edition number plaque and an authentication sticker are on... the seatback. Chair was made by Boxx Seats. It is one of the actual very heavy duty folding chairs made and used for the 1990 All-Star game at Wrigley Field. Other club seats used for the event had a plain blue cushion and no armrests. This seat was reserved for the elite attendees. Chair is in very good condition with minimal wear limited to a scuff here and there. Incredibly bright and clean by any standard; even more so considering its age. Please see photos for condition detail. Chair is quite heavy and solid. Far rarer than a Wrigley stadium seat- an excellent addition to your collection!

PROVENANCE : Estate collection of Robert Shapiro, whose Cubs memorabilia collection was considered one of the finest in the country. He was former chair of the Emil Verban Memorial Society, the invite-only Chicago Cubs fan club of Washington, D.C. that has counted presidents and Supreme Court justices among its members. Shapiro was closely acquainted with several of the "greats" from the 60s and 70s Cubs, and the collection includes personal letters and items gifted by the likes of Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, etc. We will be listing hundreds of vintage sports memorabilia from his collection in the coming months, including signed balls, photos, sports cards, pennants, etc. This is a CAN'T MISS for Cubs fans and a must-see estate collection for any devotee to the sport, so follow our page and stay tuned!
