I went to the Mroczek Brothers auction in Renton today. http://mbaauction.com/auctions.html The Babe Ruth autographed 8X10 was purchased by a bidder at the auction for $7750 +16% premium + 10% sales tax = $9889. That seemed like a pretty high price to me but I don't collect autographs. Due to a bored 12 year old daughter ("Is it almost over dad"?) I was forced to leave half way through the catalog.  There were still beautiful Cobbs and a Cy Young left to be auctioned off. There were a couple of unsigned photos in the auction. I was hoping that all of the pretty autographs would be a distraction and thus allow me to get a good deal on this Type I photo of Dizzy and Daffy Dean at the 1934 World Series. That did not happen. Nonetheless, I am pleased to add what I consider to be a very pretty photo to my collection.
