Jimmy, that is one of the most artistic shots of Williams I have ever seen. The lighting and motion are incredible. I didn't bid on any of the memorabilia other than photos. Whenever he hosts an auction I tend look at it as a photo auction and an opportunity to add to that portion of my collection. I suppose that I am blinded by the flash bulbs and pay little attention to his other memorabilia
One thing I have noticed in his recent auctions there seem to be an increasing number of high quality magazines that are gaining some attention. Those he listed primarily feature Yankee covers. I have always thought that magazines are under appreciated considering how rare they are in top condition. There seem to be fewer high quality magazines with attractive images of prominent players on the cover available than cards featuring those same players. The NM 1956 Baseball Stars magazine featuring Mantle on the cover sold for $38.00. I think you could find many more 1956 Topps Mantles than that magazine In top condition on any given day. Magazines were not collected as extensively as cards and were readily discarded as a result. I have always collected them as I think they are a fun read and contain interesting photos. I am likely in the minority when it comes to coveting them and should be appreciative of that as they remain affordable. I prefer the late 1940s and 1950s versions because of their color and graphic design. They remind me of the mid. 50s topps card designs. They are also attractive companion pieces when paired with the original photos used on their covers as well. As a bottom feeder in this hobby I am both pleased and a bit dismayed to see them featured in Henry Yees auction as that may eventually lead to more competition for them.
