Legendary Winners - Part I
 

Anyone pick up anything good last night? My only interest was the 1882 Providence cabinet but of course couldn't afford it.

Picked up an old judge Hamilton, but REALLY wanted the Wm. Paterson Travis Jackson. Don't see those around too often ( Esp. in a PSA 7 holder). Maybe next time ;)

Sorry for the giant scans
 

A little OT - but did anyone watch the Red Grange assorted lot that fetched 14K (I believe)? That was impressive.

There were a lot of cards I was interested in - but unfortunately I couldn't afford to go after everything with reckless abandon. I did manage to grab these two though...

I overpaid for this, but I collect the set - and this is the nicest example I've seen.

I fell asleep at the wheel - I wanted the ’47 Bond Bread Jackie Robinson PSA 6... it went for a little less than I thought it would too... I get all these damn AHs confused, and figured it would go into OT for at least 15 minutes.

Ah well.

I'm an amalgam of above posts. Really wanted a Wm. Paterson but fell asleep. Also got confused and assumed the entire auction would stay open until no more bids. Nice pickups, Will.

I was the underbidder on the Honus Wagner cigar band :(

i'm happy that I won the Dick Perez painting of Clark Griffith.
The portrait of the aging legend with the interesting attire of the period
captured me weeks ago.

Nice Pattersons and that Ruth Rogers Peet is sweet!

Sorry I bid you up on that Rogers Peet Ruth, Jeff. I was the underbidder. I need that card too, and that one is a great example. That's a beautiful card, however. I believe the best example known.

I came out of Legendary with nothing. I also wanted the IFS Blue and Orange Ruth that was on an uncut sheet with the Boxers lot, but got outgunned on that one. Oh well.

You outbid me on the Johnson, nice pick up.

Lot 410
 

If the winner of lot 410 (William Paterson group of 13) is interested in breaking them up, please contact me - I would be interested in the Marquard.

Thanks

Chris

Thanks a lot, Gary! You cost my family several Christmas gifts with your reckless bidding :) But seriously - I probably overpaid on it at that price - but the fact of the matter is, my max bid was still a ways off. As you know (since you're also looking for one), they're really tough to find even remotely centered. I'm not sure why that card has such brutal centering, but it typically does from what I've seen. If I'm going to be bid-up, at least it was by a friendly fellow board member.

My two from last night. Plan on a few more pickups tonight, and then SCP . . . Jesus is it auction season again?

Same here. Would like to acquire one as a type card. Thanks

Legendary auction start ending soon....get your butts in chat and let's see you sweat it out.

Wm. Paterson common lots 410 and 411
 

If the winner of these lots wants to break them, I need Scott, Shawkey and Marquard.

I hesitate to comment on items while the auction is still live, but I'll do so now. I see a problem with the Walter Johnson Conlon glass negative. The negative is clearly cropped on the right side, compared to the print, and represents the publication cover, meaning that the negative was created from a print. You would have to be blind to miss it, but it should have been disclosed.

Given the price it went for, I'm thinking a couple of people thought it was an original Conlon glass negative: http://www.legendaryauctions.com/Lot...ntoryid=151896

True, the negative is from later on.

But $200 for the entire lot isn't unreasonable, as the photograph is nice and does match interestingly with negative.

It went for 500, that was just the min. bid.

And a few more from tonight. Sort of wish I had a bit more focus, but the shotgun approach seems to be working for the time being . . .

Okay, $500 is up there.

Many of the 8x10 negatives with the faux signatures like that were made around the 1950s. Sold via magazine ads.

I just realized it's not glass - doh.

I do think it's interesting that the three images match up like that. That's unusual. As it is, it's an interesting matching trio, except, as Scott noted, the negative was misdescribed.

Picked up "A Fan's Collection of 1950s Signed (23) and Unsigned (24) Photos and Miscellaneous Items"; I just love those oddball and team issue PCs

"SIGNED: Includes mostly postcard and similar-sized photo premiums with Feller, Boudreau, Doby, Parnell (2), Kell, Lopez, Lepcio (2), R. Boone, Roberts, O'Neill, Avila, Holmes, J. Hegan, Gumpert, Yost, Turley and Doerr. There are also two GPCs (1951 Doerr, 1951 Ebba St. Clair) and the random inclusion of hockey HOFer Milt Schmidt. UNSIGNED: Includes snapshots, photos, team-issued photos and postcards from approximately 3" x 3" up to 8" x 10", with nice vintage postcards/premiums of Ted Williams, Jackie Robinson and Ed Mathews. There is also a pair of 1953 Red Sox ticket stubs. Auction LOA from JSA."

OJ prices were strong, I won nothing...

Obviously all three items' images can trace their lineage back to the same original Conlon negative (print-more image on right,negative-more image on left), but this negative was made from a print, and was then used to create the image on the publication (or doubtfully, vice-versa). So the print they auctioned off is actually a cousin of the other two. When I was researching the Johnson print I won last night, I also researched this one, and while I also think it's a Conlon, I couldn't find any reference tying them together.

Oddly, the print I won was NOT described as a Conlon, but definitely is. John Roger's website https://www.theconloncollection.com/ is a great place to look and see if your photo is a Conlon - of course, not finding it there doesn't rule things out.

I am super-thrilled to have won this. All eight players are depicted on 'NY Natl' T206 cards (Devore, Doyle, Snodgrass, Murray, Merkle, Herzog, Meyers and Fletcher), so I will be creating a display. Might have to somehow incorporate Matty and McGraw as well:

Thrilled with this one...

I won two Old Judge lots (Lots 1016 and 1020). I only need a few of the cards so if anyone has specific interests please email me at oldjudge@gmail.com

Thanks--Jay

Scored this...$10.51 in shipping...Im pleased with the card though.

Picked up the Travis Jackson Paterson.

Nice, Darren, that's a tough one.

Jay, email sent on the Goodfellow Detroit

Joe

Joe--the email never arrived. Is the email address correct on your side?

Jay, my email address is: JMAPLES0871@CHARTER.NET

In more than 20 years of collecting baseball CdVs, I have seen only 2 other "in action" images. This is the third. It dates from 1864-1866 and I'm very happy to have it.

68Hawk--great Harry Wright card--congratulations! That has to be one of the best Wrights in the hobby.

Very nice
 

I thought my max bid would hold up, but the wife wouldn't let me stay up that late on a school night. otherwise, i might have kept fighting you for it!

Picked up Bobby.

Hi Gary, I figured you picked that up. I was curious that the 'Hoboken' reference on the back was legit, but they ignored the '69. Still, I was inclined to go with earlier dates as well.

Very nice pick-up and it belongs in the collection of someone like yourself.

Gary, that CDV is breathtaking......it really stood out as a museum style archival piece in the auction!

Thanks OldJudge, now I need to decide how much light of day it will get :(.
I desperately want it on display with my other cards, but equally don't want to see that wonderful image fade in a matter of years.

Can any collectors of Old Judges give me their experience of having these photo-style cards out for viewing in non-direct room lighting? Can anyone put a time line for degradation of the image or is the fadeout overstated?

Won these two.

Nice PCs Jake.

Thanks, I've wanted that birthplace one for quite some time.

Won lot 1018, Brouthers and Griffith, only 2 away from my 1887 Detroit Old Judge poses. I have 26 of the 28 poses.

Need:


Ganzel Pose 179-2, 493 and Twitchell 468-2, 490.


Joe

Scott- I date the CdV based on the revenue stamp on the back. I believe they were only used in the 1864-1866 period for photographs. In Legendary's description, they refer to the reverse saying Hoboken NJ. The NJ does look like 69 in the scan. I'll get a better look when I get the CdV.
68 Hawk- Thanks! And I have to agree with Jay. Your Harry Wright is sharp.

http://www.legendaryauctions.com/Lot...ntoryid=127956

This lot should actually date from 1879 through the early 1880s. Current thinking is that the cards that are uncoated are from 1879-1880 and the coated cards from 1881 through the early 1880s. The exciting part of the lot is that it contains the first (by far) individual card of a black athlete, Hart a pedestrian. This set is the first tobacco insert sports set.

Pedestrians
 

I was wondering about pedestrians as athletes, and found this interesting article about Ed Weston. His card was part of that set from 1880.

Here is another great article about Weston, supposedly the toughest card in the set:

And one about Hart:
