Any Mastro Winners?

Some very looooooow prices this time around. Couldn't believe how little some stuff went for. I threw out a couple of lowball bids that somehow held up. Was not expecting to win anything, but came away with the beautiful 1890s Bib Front Jersey and the Die-cut Al Simmons D & M Easelback Ad Sign.

Any other board members win??

Great stuff Mark. The Simmons sign is a gem. And you really got a helluva bargain on the bib front jersey. I dont know how I overlooked that. There is a bib-front jersey on ebay right now with about 6 hours left as I type and its already higher than what you got yours for including the BP.

One lot that I was watching was the 19th C. belt, hat, and photo. I was amazed at how high this sold for. Its amazing how those three items stayed together all these years though. I actually just won one of these 19th century belts in an ebay live auction. Unfortunately mine is not coming with a matching hat and a photo of a team wearing the pieces.

Brock... I noticed that too. Insane price on that trio! I have to believe it was the photo documentation that drove that price so high. I still can't believe that lot would sell so for so much over market value while the Bib Jersey went so low.

I guess it just depends on how much two people want it. These auctions can be so fickle.

Auction prices are all about the people bidding. That becomes more apparent when you conduct auctions, and can see how they work from the inside.

I picked up the Chifed, Joe Tinker pennant. I thought it was an exceptionally low price for a Federal League pennant.

Jim...

Nice pickup on the ChiFeds / Tinker Pennant! You acquired an amazing piece at a very good price. I was watching that one closely, and thought it would go for a lot more.

Will you frame it, or leave as-is? Either way.... congrats!

Great pick ups guys. I agree, there were some low prices, but some things went strong. I picked up the Al Simmons game used bat sidewritten for Charlie Gehringer.
