Default Who was under bidder in Sloate's auction on Boston CDV group?

This reminds me of the Matty McIntyre Scrapbook auctioned off by Leland's a couple of years back. There were over 600 photos of which half were baseball related. The person that bought the book sold it off piece by piece....IIRC they paid about $3,000 for it and parted it out for at least 5-10 times that amount. Even though I was the recipient of many of the photos I still have a few pangs of guilt that an item of such historical signifigance to the early Detroit Tigers was destroyed.
