Some great items in the auction.
I really wanted the photo of Jackie's 1st at-bat, but was quickly priced out on it.
The 1947 snapshots from the Dodgers' 1947 Spring Training in Cuba were (in my eyes) extremely historic. I did not end up winning the auction, but found it really intriguing. Spring Training in Cuba was done to protect Jackie Robinson and the black players who were there. (Jackie and Campanella were both on the Montreal Royals at the time, which I assume is why they did not make the photos.
I won one item. The lineup card is from Hank Aaron's final game on the Braves. It was also his final HR on the Braves and established the record for most homeruns by a player on a single team at 733.
This was the copy of Braves manager Clyde King and as per the listing, comes from his personal collection
