He was their principle contact with all MLB players who used their bats. That included Ruth and Cobb. He and Cobb became good friends. When he died his pallbearers included Cobb, Casey Stengel, Joe McCarthy, Mr Reese and J Taylor Spinks of the Sporting News

Years later after he retired Reese moved to Louisville nd became H&B's main PR and front man. We lived in St Louis and the Cardinals were in the World Series in 82, 85 and 87. In each of those years we met with Mr. Reese in St Louis to receive Worlds Series tickets from H&B since my wife and her family were long tome stockholders

When Reese died he was living in the house below in Louisville. My wife's brother lives next store. I took this picture last year. While the glove surely did not belong to him, it was a nice coincidence that it happened to be there on the lawn at the time.

And Dale, about your Pafko, my point was that all low-grade Pafkos are over-priced right now, which would include even your excellent example.

It seems to me if a Pafko, or any card, sits unsold on ebay with a BIN it may be overpriced, but if it actually sells it is not overpriced, whatever the price. The price it sells for in the future might go up or down, but what if it sells now it is not overpriced.



Many say the 52 Mantle is overpriced because there are so many of them. For folks who want/need a Mantle or Pafko and think they are overpriced they just need to wait until the price comes down to where they think it should be

Sometimes the market is off and things get overpriced. Dotcom stocks 20 years ago were overpriced. Condos in Orlando in 2008 were overpriced.

To be clear, I believe the prices for this card in the future will go down.

Possibly, but not anytime soon, imo.
