the auction is close to my work so i stopped by afterward to see the items in person. the paper lots were mostly newspaper articles and photocopies. none of the original photos contained any baseball content- the baseball photos were all recent copies. most of the autographs were bleeding heavily and the multi-signed balls were facsimile sigs. that's the ugly part. the good part is that there a couple of nice football and basketball photographs, a beautiful vintage football sweater and some nice awards and trophies presented by a few colleges and mlb teams. i also some northern league and mid-west league baseballs.

i also spoke with the owner of the auction. she said the items came from an unclaimed storage unit so this isn't really an estate sale- the gems weren't held back, they simply weren't there.
