I was able to get several, but only expect to hold onto one:

The circa 1910 Art Devlin/Harry Lord/Bill Carrigan letters:








The 1901 Pirates contract signed by Harry Pulliam:






The Ray Dandridge Cuban League contract:






And a new centerpiece to my collection, the Lizzie Arlington (Stride) signed contract (also with super early Ed Barrow):

Those are amazing! I hadn't heard of Pulliam before but a quick reading introduced me. And the Lizzie Stride piece is awesome!

I was thinking of going after the letters since I have the Walter Johnson letter from the same episode, but ultimately felt I'd rather focus on other pieces.

I was able to get the Armando Marsans 1916 American League Contract which also has the autograph of Branch Rickey.

Congrats guys...David, SO glad you got your Smoky! I thought of you as soon as I saw it, and was hoping you'd win it. Nice!

I'm very excited to have won my first Horner Cabinet- Bowerman. The image was used for his T206 card. Man, that was an intense auction close; juggling all of the bidding (on 7 of them), and the way they close their auctions, well, it's just not great.

Thanks, Michael. A pickup ten years in the making.
Great pickup on the Frank Bowerman, one of the fabulous Horner cabinets in the auction.
Christies' format was like trying to drive on the wrong side of a bumpy road. Really had to work to keep up with my bids.

Michael and David, great Horner cabinets!

I won the 1860 Base Ball Players Pocket Companion. I'm a book guy, and this auction had some really rare ones, including ones that used to be in my collection.
