It's astounding, Mike.

It always used to be whenever I had a Spooner or Hamric, I had a list of immediate buyers at nearly triple the price some of these are going for. A lot of collectors must have passed away/divested close to the same time.

It's also funny that you mentioned getting a Hamric cheaply due to a misspelling in a listing. I have a similar story. One time, I was surfing eBay and changed the viewing option to show auctions that were ending soonest. When the screen changed, the first thing on the list was a lot of unidentified cuts. The seller apparently couldn't read perfectly legible cursive. They were all from the Texas League, and cut from scorecards/programs. There was Spooner, Hamric (the only one I had ever seen signed "Ham Hamric") and even a gorgeous Willard Brown. Less than a minute until the auction ended! I quickly threw in a bid that was a lot higher than the $42 I won them for.
