Peter Nash acquired a huge treasure trove of sports memorabilia from the Dooley family and not just the items from the bill of sale of 54 items I previously showed you and the 2 scrapbooks of John Drohan the sportswriter that Nash purchased on 4/8/05 from Katherine Dooley, see below. But there was a huge amount of stuff downstairs in the basement and a lot of this stuff was in picture frames. I remember when Peter Nash called me sometime in the spring of 2005 all excited about the treasure trove of memorabilia he found in Katherine “Kitty” Dooley’s basement, it sounded like he hit the lottery, he told me it was worth millions of dollars. The treasure trove of memorabilia he found in the basement was after he purchase the 54 items. A large amount of this treasure trove was Mike “Nuf Ced” McGreevy’s personal collection that was sold by McGreevy’s daughter, Alice Thompson for $1,000 in 1962 and the money went to charity, the Jimmy Fund, and she asked that the buyer be anonymous which was John Dooley. How did, Nash acquired the McGreevy collection? Maybe old lady Dooley gave it to him or maybe he borrowed it from her? We do know that the law firm put in writing that Peter Nash was allowed to take some memorabilia from the house and get it appraised but the law firm has no idea what these items where, see below, email from Dooley's law firm.
In 2005 Nash gave a lot of the McGreevy memorabilia to Robert Edward Action as collateral to borrow money. When Peter Nash was deposed by Robert Edward Auction's law firm and asked question about the collateral and where it came from he pleaded the fifth dozens of times. Why hasn’t Peter Nash written anything about these wonderful items from Nuf Ced McGreevy on his website? I thought some of you would like to read an article about John Dooley because it’s interesting baseball history, see below. By the way, Owen Boyd, one of John Dooley's grandsons told me his grandfather's baseball collection was so large that you could have made a museum out of it.

Dear Robert,
This email serves to confirm our conversation regarding the appraisal of items owned by Katherine Dooley. At some point, although we do not know the exact date, Ms. Dooley gave Peter Nash permission to seek appraisals of some of her baseball memorabilia. Regrettably, we cannot confirm the date these appraisals occurred, the items that were appraised or their appraised value.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best regards,
Jeff
