Huggins
The prices were strange. I added Bill Walker, Flint Rhem, Ernie Orsatti and Alvin Crowder no. 122, which puts me at 215/239. I passed on Earl Clark as almost $20k for a common is just insane regardless of how tough he is. I have at least 10 that may be the only ones in existence and none are $20k cards with the exception of maybe Tris Speaker. Sean had also expressed concerns about the authenticity of the Clark prior to the auction and fears that he was right crept in. I passed on Cissell as well by only because I know where another one is that I can trade for and I'd rather do that than pay $7,000 plus. I also upgraded 21 others including some very nice period signatures. Overall I was happy with the auction, but surprised by how strong the market is.
