Did anyone here win lot no. 81279 - "Early 20th Century Baseball Horde"? It featured "four or five dozen baseball cabinet photographs" - which I wasn't interested in, so I was easily outbid.
As a footnote to the lot, however, was a scrapbook (mainly family photos) of pitcher Bill "Lefty" James, of the 1912-14 Indians. Lefty died in 1933. My brother-in-law is pastor of the Methodist church in Wellston, OH, where Lefty lived and is buried. Lefty's family has absolutely nothing left of his (makes me wonder where this scrapbook came from - maybe a previous generation parted with it. I was hoping to win this lot, with the hopes of being able to return the scrapbook to the family (especially since it was virtually all family photos).
If anyone here won this lot for the photos, and would be willing to part with the scrapbook (for a reasonable price), please contact me. I'd sure appreciate it.
Thanks,
Tom
