There were a lot more eyes hawking that PC than the handful of bidders. I don't really collect Negro League or Cuban baseball items in general, but I do make random weekly checks for search terms like "antique baseball", "baseball cabinet", or "Cuban Baseball" as I suspect many here do just to see what pops up. There were probably at least 50-75 collectors hoping it slipped through the cracks (me included) and could be nabbed cheap. Like Dan said a quick look of the sellers other items shows he deals in run of the mill antiques and being bases in Conn. he item likely filtered out of the the city (where the team was based) into his hands.
