Julie VognarAn SGC 5 Mayo Wilbert Robinson--$1,685--that's less than 2K with premium, insurance and shipping (it's lot number 2084) Would be interested in knowing others' winnings.
I only bid twice: a week ago, and last night at 10:45.
W. Robinson is not the most glorious of Mayos--I love David Rudd's photo of him, straddling a chair backwards, directing the Dodgers in late middle age (in fact, I won that as well, and it came yesterday). The Mayo is a very stiff portrait, much like the Anson in that set--except Anson is so striking looking, he can get away with it.
Tring to get all the 19th century HOFers in 19th century cards, photos and woodcuts--even if they're famous for something they did in the 20th c. I have a Hanlon OJ, but my favorite is his Fan Craze. Looks like something out of "Topsy Turvey," dressed to the nines, with a supercilleous little smile.
