Thanks Mike! It was through Heritage, which just closed on Friday. I really had my eye on a few other things, includiing Sparky Anderson's 1974 Jersey. But when he sadly passed the day prior to the auction's close, I knew that piece would exceed my limit.
The Cy Young Tin was still sitting there at a pretty low price, so I bid "last minute style" and luckily got it. I had checked the archives of the major auction houses, and found very few other examples. Based on those few prices realized, I believe I got it for a decent price
