Some terrific photos in the RMY auction and some very strong prices to match. Four thousand bucks for the Conlon Matty. Oh my! Had a bookmark bid down on it but was blown out of the way early. Went 8 for 22, four baseball related, one football, the rest Americana. Auction looks to have ended right at 2am west coast time. Don't know if the clock counted down - I was distracted - or Rhys just pulled the plug but am glad it finally ended so I could rest up for the hockey game.
Am looking forward to the next RMY auction. Between it and Henry Yee I have switched gears a bit from collecting old cardboard and have picked up a lot of neat photos.
