L1 Leathers
 

Posted By: <b>martindl</b><p><br />Now that it appears that the guy has sold all that he had, I thought I'd ask for peoples' opinions on the group of L1 Leathers that appeared over the past couple of weeks.<br /><br /><a href="http://tinyurl.com/5jma6e" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/5jma6e</a><br /><br />What fantastic condition rarities these are. Unfortunately I was not a winner on the couple I bid on, but I thought the prices were generally in line with what I expected on Ebay. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see some of these pop up in REA or some other such venue in the future, where I think they'll do better.<br /><br />Thoughts?

Posted By: <b>peter ullman</b><p>I agree on many of your points. They are in great condition...had a few HOF'ers...and are quite rare. Personally, I don't care for them as they're larger and unusually shaped. I also agree they may see the light of an auction house soon where they may realize a little profit. Beautiful nonetheless.<br />
