Some of my finds from a local auction in the last two weeks.

This auction is slowly selling off this former pediatrists estate and I am slowly buying it. Not sure how much of it is making it to the auction but I have about 40 pounds of photo copies and slowly there is some good stuff in the mix, almost like it's just the stuff that got overlooked. I kind of like it that way because I'm not paying much for it, I kind of think that people are also sick of getting burned by sports stuff. I will keep updating this post with more finds. Not sports related but I got this nifty tiffany cigar tube from the 20's for $90, that's scrap weight!!!

This seems pretty scarce, any value? It's in nice shape considering it's age.

Not sure who this is but the signature seems legit, There are three post cards and one is signed.

Certainly the Wheaties Mantle jumped out to me. That should cover whatever you paid and more.

Yeah way more but I wanted opinions on whether I should be warry of the possibility of fakes or reprints before sending it off for grading. My jaw hit the floor when I pulled it out of the box. I did not even know half of this stuff was in there. So much junk and yet so much treasure. :) There are over 30 cleveland rams original type 1 press photos among allot of other stuff.

Seeing a few photos with stamps on back seems positive for some of the photos. I suspect some are type 1.

Can’t speak about fake Wheaties but if really spent $90 it is worth the gamble if you are reselling.

I would take it off your hands as I have a type 1 of that image.

From what I can see of the small pics, those Index Cards/Cut Signatures are looking very Coach's Corner-ish. Really tough to speak to the other stuff, unless you're able to post some larger images.

Three of the golfers are Miller Barber, Cary Middlecoff and Bobby Locke.

I don’t know autographs but I blew them up for someone who might

Figured out the HOF browns photo, it is paul warfield.

Figured out the one card, it is Van Mungo and it is considered a card.

OK, here are a few:

The Indians PC portrait is Lou Boudreau. Signed for many years at shows, so not a tough one, but nice PCs.

The printed Indians batter is Al Rosen and that is from a team issue photo pack.

The boxer is Rocky Marciano and the signature is a secretarial by his wife. I've handled a few of them on other items. The card itself is likely a mail response or publicity item of some sort.

I'm doubting them myself but who knows...

The waxy envelops show age as do the autos, I'm on the fence.

The waxy envelopes (glassine envelopes) are for stamps. I have hundreds of them aged in my stamp collection so they are quite common.

One thing you could do is list them on eBay with a very high price (to ensure they don't sell). Then request a PSA "Quick Opinion". A much cheaper alternative than submitting them and potentially having them rejected.

I knew I've seen those envelopes somewhere before, stamp collections! The autos do look too have some age to them though and the right kind of pen/ink.

I recognize the Dazzy Vance and Ty Cobb but have no clue who the other two are...

If you want to sell or trade the Marciano I'd be interested.
