Nope... a big Mastro goose-egg for me last night. I really liked the Trophy Bat with attached Ball, but just didn't have the funds to compete strong enough for it. Someone got a nice deal at $1,600.

I also made a rather half-hearted attempt at the Lefty Grove Lucky Strike Ad Sign. I almsot got it, and someone really stole it for $1,200. I think that's the least I have ever seen one of these go for (in nice condition anyway...)

I would have tried for the Cap Anson Cigar Box, but committed to a friend NOT to go after it... he wanted it more, and really specializes in these things. He actually has a Wagner, a Cy Young, a coveted St. Louis Browns, etc. The Anson sold for $800, which was another pretty low price.

Despite those 3 pieces, I thought the prices realized were rather high (especially in the midst of a bad economy). I'm sure there were more bargains... I just couldn't find any on the things I like!
