I've won only one item from him and that was many years ago...of course my focus is very narrow and he rarely has anything that fits my collection.

Henry and I spoke a few weeks ago when he registered for the forum. We have known each other for about 8-10 yrs and have a good hobby rapport. I don't expect him to ever post on the board but more than likely he will be at the Net54baseball dinner as a patron. With his other hobby endeavors I doubt he will be able to speak at the Dinner though. I have my eye on a thing or two, but his auctions sometimes get more than market prices (good for him) so we'll just have to see. best regards

I didn't get one yet either so he must be waiting until all the items are up. I believe the auction is over 3 or 4 nights so look for more items to pop up tonight and through the weekend. I am sure we will get an email soon. I am always Amazed at the stuff that henry gets consigned. Everything seems so minty and there is always something new I have never seen. I Love Henry's auction as I usually find something to add to my collection but also learn so much by his photos and detailed descriptions. Great stuff!

Its amazing the prices Henry gets. Its almost like a "status symbol" to buy and item from his auctions. That said, the quality is there, and the competition, plus Henry is a really cool person.

Good luck to Henry w the auction and Im sure we'll be seeing some of the great Net54 acquisitions from it soon.

Photograph collecting, and Type 1 photos in particular, is definitely a growing area of interest in the hobby. Yee being one of the most knowledgable and selective (in terms of what photos he includes in his auctions) sellers means he brings truly informative descriptions and quality subject matter, which naturally translate to higher prices for his photograph offerings. And, as I believe was a topic of discussion following his last auction, those higher prices spill over to other memorabilia categories he brings as well, though typically photos are his main area of emphasis. It's hard to pin a price on any piece ahead of time, but you can safely bet it will be "top of the market" price (or better) when the dust settles.

Just goes to show that knowledge of the subject matter, fully-informed descriptions, and clear, straightforward presentation of the material are all appreciated by bidders, and they will reward you for your efforts and consistency.

Oh, and literally being one of two who "wrote the book" on the subject helps too :D

How on Earth does an item have a bid of $xxx.xxin the last ten seconds and then comes up $1.00 short of my astronomical max proxy bid of $xxxx.xx? And a proxy bid that was sniped no less...

Houston, we have a problem. Anyone interested can PM for the details.

Total scam.

I think if you're going to call someone out for a "total scam" in public, you should also provide your proof/reasoning in public. If your bid was a snipe, I really don't see how it could have been anything more than a coincidence.

I would think this is just a coincidence also. I won three items from Yee's auctions that ended today. I sniped all of them, and for one of them, it hit my max bid exactly. The other two were considerably less than my max bids. (Two Ruth pins and the Butterfinger Ruth ad piece)

Moose in the road and mosquitoes large enough to carry away small children are a bit of a detraction though.

Most are very friendly here if you get out of what we call "Northern Mass" which refers to the southern part of the state. More often than not, you will be invited to someone's home for a dinner and a few beers if you strike up a chat at a local establishment.

Photograph collecting, and Type 1 photos in particular, is definitely a growing area of interest in the hobby. Yee being one of the most knowledgable and selective (in terms of what photos he includes in his auctions) sellers means he brings truly informative descriptions and quality subject matter, which naturally translate to higher prices for his photograph offerings. And, as I believe was a topic of discussion following his last auction, those higher prices spill over to other memorabilia categories he brings as well, though typically photos are his main area of emphasis. It's hard to pin a price on any piece ahead of time, but you can safely bet it will be "top of the market" price (or better) when the dust settles.

Just goes to show that knowledge of the subject matter, fully-informed descriptions, and clear, straightforward presentation of the material are all appreciated by bidders, and they will reward you for your efforts and consistency.

Oh, and literally being one of two who "wrote the book" on the subject helps too :D



Just wanted to add my 2 cents to this discussion. I have known Henry for a long time and have followed his auctions since the beginning. All of my interactions with Henry have been extremely pleasant and very informative. His knowledge about vintage photos is second to none and he has always been receptive to any of my questions regarding such.

Of all of the dealers, auction houses, etc. that I have dealt with the past 20 years or so, I would easily place Henry in the top 1% for courtesy, honesty knowledge and professional behavior.

In addition to all of the previous excellent points explained by others in this thread as to why his auctions do so well, I would simply add that Henry's auctions have filled a much needed gap in the hobby. Rather than endlessly fishing for items on Ebay or being priced out of the major auction houses, for the last decade or so, Henry has provided quality items that would never appear in REA, Legendary, Heritage or Lelands, starting at 99 cents all at one site with excellent descriptions and remarkable photo documentation.

In my opinion, he fully deserves all of the success he has worked so hard to achieve.

I am going to be spending the better part of a week in Kennebunkport later this summer. Any must-see places to visit? Any restaurants that are not to be missed?

I don't spend much time in "Northern Mass" but can ask a few of the locals for you. Let me know when and we can meet up for a beer.

Chris- check out Captain Lord Mansion, a wonderful bed and breakfast inn, even if you don't stay there. It's one of the nicest I've ever seen ( and I was last there in 1985).

Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are just stunning.
Went on a great whale watch and two other boating trips (lighthouse viewing and a nature boat trip). The area is clean, friendly and has good restaurants.


We rent a house on the water up there every year. Fantastic place. Can't beat Kayaking with the Harbor Seals and Porpoises.

Made a dumb mistake last year climbing up "The Precipice" in Acadia in 100 degree and humid weather. That was a brutal day for me.

Barry, I just spent a few minutes looking over their website and I must say it looks incredibly quaint and charming. We are traveling with our young children and by the looks of it we probably don't want to take them there. I will see if we can get the grandparents to watch them so we can make a day trip of it.

Chris- even if you just walk in and look around, or maybe make time for a lunch, you will enjoy. It's a really beautiful place. Let us know if you go.

If anyone heads to Bar Harbor and Acadia Natl Park be sure to go to the restaurant in Acadia, it is called Jordan Pond. Be sure to order the pop overs.
Dave Bergin - you ever try this?

You mean The Tea House at Jordan Pond I think. Ended up there several times on our bikes. Don't think I've ever had the Pop Overs though. Will check them out when we're up there next month.

The restaurant is called Jordan Pond House, the only restaurant in the park.
Good food and the popovers are the real treat.

You better believe it,, we were there for one week and wound up in that restaurant three times :).
We will be back at some point in time, too beautiful a place to not see twice.

We've been up there about 6 or 7 times now. Our goal is to hit every hiking trail on the two main sections of the park at one point or another.

I figure about 10 more trips and we'll be about halfway there. :D

Quite a turn this thread has taken :).
Kudos to Maine and kudos to Henry Yee, I was not a buyer in this auction but my consignments did very well.

I've never been to Acadia National Park (although I am an alumnus of Acadia University, Nova Scotia), but have been through Maine a number of times and always enjoyed it. The best baseball bulk book purchase I made was in the backwoods of Maine, at a cabin on the lake, with an out building in the back, and fog rolling in at night. As the owner was leading me out back, I imagined that Stephen King might be penning my epitaph in a subsequent novel. However, the books were great and I did not meet an untimely demise.

I didn't get this book on that purchase, but here's something more of Maine

It's tough to find decent seafood out here in the boonies in Wisconsin. It's worth the trip to Maine just to find a restaurant by the water and enjoy the fresh scallops, shrimp and lobster.

You should do what we do. Buy your own lobster at about 5 bucks a lb. right off the docks and boil it up yourself and slather in butter.

If you like mussels, All you have to do is wade into the water, just about anywhere up there and you get all that you can manage to clean and steam up for free.

It really is fantastic.

$5 a pound? Check around, currently $4.49 per here 50 miles inland. There are game wardens monitoring most of the good clam flats also with video.
