1882 Boston Red Stockings Baseball Association Stock Certificate Atlanta Braves. Amazing condition original stock from 1882, when the current Atlanta Braves were known as the Boston Red Stockings (also nicknamed the Red Caps). Stock is signed by team President Arthur Soden. Soden was a Civil War veteran, as well as the President of the National League at this time in 1882. He replaced previous president William Hulbert due to his death. 8 years later he owned the Braves and the New York Giants. You can read more about Soden here. There are a total of FOUR Billings signatures! Stock is embossed with the seal of the team, showing its date of orginization of 1871. The Braves are the longest continous running team franchise in baseball history. The Cubs were organized a year earlier in 1870, however the city of Chicago did not sponsor the team for 2 years following the great Chicago fire of 1871. It is quite rare to find a 19th century stock with its original receipt. If you have seen Antiques Roadshow lately, this is the same team as the cards from the million dollar collection on the January 2015 New York episode! This is truly a museum quality 19th century piece of baseball history…… And genuine quality 19th century pieces are becoming increasingly harder to find.
