We are long-time collectors of Negro League Memorabilia as well as collectors of rare, player-endorsed post cards (in top condition)

We are thrilled at the opportunity to bid in the Hakes Auction but have been stunned by the prices that several items realized.

Most Notably- The Lelands Giants Post Card. It was estimated at $400-700.
With a 10 minute warning in place the post card is over $21,000

Wonder who the buyer is and why this post card realized 30x its estimate.

Welcome your comments.
