I too was a little dissapointed in the quantity and freshness of the memorabilia section. Though it seems to be a trend for all the major auctions. With the exception of the great group of fresh and early programs Lelands had in their November auction, the pickings have been a little slim. I don't attribute any of it necessarily to the auction houses but I too would think more and more stuff that was collected in the 1970s and 1980s would be making its way to auction as collectors reach a point when they begin to want to divest of their collections.

The cards seem to be really coming out along with great autograph items but memorabilia has slowed down a bit.

Oh to go back to the days of a mid-1990s Slater auction catalog full primarily of memorabilia with items ranging in value from $10 to $10,000.
