Saw this while browsing auction listings this weekend.

Any guesses on what it will fetch?

I saw that - it's like the Jack Johnson Holy Grail. only real ugly. My guess is pushing $10k.

Gonna be interesting, that's for sure. The November Heritage is looking up to be a major boxing card catalog.

Previously sold for $5,975 including the BP last May at Heritage.

I just looked at the full upcoming Heritage auction. Wow, there is some amazing stuff in that auction: autographed photos of Stanley Ketchel and Peter Jackson in addition to a Graziano Leaf card.
How many Ketchel autographed photos (or autographs in general) are known to exist?

A nice handful of N269 lots as well. Aside from some expensive BINs on ebay, I haven't seen them come up too often in the past couple years.

Some great looking stuff in there, but I'd be curious who is giving the ok on the Jackson & Ketchel signatures.

Now up to two E125 Johnsons and an E125 Jeffries, a '48 Leaf Graziano...
I consigned some great N310 Mayo uncut strips; don't know if they'll have room for them!

Items seemed to go fairly reasonable. I got the two lots I was after and one that I wasn't! Picked up the E77, E80 and E125 sets / lots.
Looks like there was a pretty heavyweight battle for the E78 set.

The E125s went really cheap, relatively speaking, if you were good with the missing bases.

Yeah, that's the lot of which I am unsure - a little buyer's remorse, I guess. Probably I'll stick the Jeffries in an auction and pray. Both the E77 and E80 sets went a little lower than I thought, so I am happy with them. I really got them for the Johnsons. A higher grade E77 (lower grade JJ) went for more than double in May - much nicer set overall, but this worked out great. If anyone needs singles from the sets please drop a PM to me.
Adam,
were you content with the N310 strip prices?

HECK NO! I lost my shirt on them.
Funny, I skipped that lot because I didn't want to pay for the Johnson card. LMK when you want to move the Jeffries; maybe we can work a trade.
