Open for Bidding - Love of the Game 10th Anniversary Auction

[Al C.risafulli]

Hi All!

Just a quick note to let everyone know that the LOTG 10th Anniversary auction is open for bidding. The closing date is Saturday, November 26.

This is a pretty special one for us. It's a small auction, but we think it packs a wallop, with some pretty great material in it.

There's a great T206 set of 520, with all 250 known subjects with Polar Bear backs, and all the Southern Leaguers with Old Mill backs.

PSA's highest-graded 1921 Exhibits Babe Ruth is a favorite of mine, as this is my favorite Ruth card.

Speaking of Ruth, there's an amazing scrapbook that's highlighted by a signed photo of the Babe, but it's the story behind it that makes it so special.

We have a complete run of Brooklyn Dodgers vs. New York Yankees World Series ticket stubs, a really strong selection of Type 1 photos, an awesome group of photos and postcards from the estate of Barney Pelty, and lots more.

I hope you all enjoy this auction as much as we enjoyed putting it together!

Thanks!

Yeah, getting divorced sucks.

Apologies to be completely oblivious to the references here.

And I don’t mean to pry or be insensitive…but inquiring minds need to know…

But did I infer correctly that someone is selling all or a chunk of their collection to pay off the wife’s divorce settlement?

[Kenny Cole]

That would be me. But on the bright side, by doing this I get to keep quite a few of my other cards, including my other two Charlestons. In return, I suppose I get some Le Cruse cookware and some stemware. Seems fair.

Wow. My sympathies.

At this point, based on friends who have been through it, I’m guessing that you are probably as disappointed about the effect on your collection as anything.

But maybe I’m just projecting.

Kenny you're a good man sorry to hear this.

At least you didn't cut all the cards in half and bring them to the mediators office.
