I figured you wouldn't be able to resist a baseball picture or two.
How did the Beatles stuff come out for you. There were a couple of very nice pics there, especially the Peter Kaye one. I gotta figure you went all in for that one.
Yeah, I guess I did rebound pretty well from the slaughter of the first night. I'm very happy with the ones I got.
Thanks for the kind words. I collect in a slow steady way. Mix in a few lucky finds and deals, and I'm pretty happy with how it's progressed. While Gehrig was one of the greatest players, I think many hold him in special place because of the person he was. That is why I like the pics depicting him playing, but I like a lot of the personal/human shots even more.


Mike/Mike/Craig,
I love the old magazines as well. I do think they are under appreciated, but for a while hope nobody finds out.:D



You know I just realized that I am the the poster child for the "Henry Yee effect." I sold a bunch of stuff I wouldn't of sold looking to raise funds for one or two items. I then bid higher than I would've usually, to ensure I won it. Then, even though I lost it, my bid was responsible for an additional $600 on the final price. Once I did lose it I had all this money left over from the stuff I sold, so, as not to walk away empty handed, I then bid higher then I usually would've on multiple items. This raised the final prices of the stuff I lost, as well as the stuff I won.
I bet I'm not the only one who did this. This is certainly one reason why he gets bigger prices than many.

Best to all,
Mark

Mark,

Your scenario for being the "Poster Child" for the "Henry Yee Effect" is priceless and yet another reason (which I would never have thought of) as to why his auctions do so well. Really enjoyed reading that!!!:D

Mark, I am also a poster child. This was a great great point.

You've coined a great new term for the hobby Mark! Come to think of it, I do believe that I may have been the original "Yee Poster Child" ;)

You're correct Mark in that I was able to land that 1962 Beatles photo. I actually went 4 for 4 last night, but not like Ben's Fab Five.

Am very pleased with what I ended up with.
