It came IBC-DHL, and I had to sign for it (I've never bid in a Sotheby's auction). Nice Arthur Ashe stuff. Silly complete run of LaKERS' CHAMPIONSHIP RINGS WITH NO NAME--WINNER IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE his own NAME ENGRAVED ON EACH (FREE). No 19th century stuff. Neat Lefty Grove ring, shows wear. Babe Ruth bat from 1917-21, authenticated by Bushing, est. price 200,000--+++. Some fine E cards, but in large bunches. Program from Cy Young's first perfect game.

Wonderful photo of Ruth on inside front cover, Red Sox, one hand on hip, the other appears to be gloved, behind back. Intense expression--may be game pitching photo--it's not in the catalogue! (or at least I can't find it!)
