The write up was some drivel they cut and pasted from a website about the Leland Giants.
Nowhere in the write up did they mention that Pete Hill was pictured in the postcard! Unbelievable. Congrats to the lucky winner!

Why would Hake's try to hide its true value? They are primarily a pop-culture memorabilia house that often times sells baseball items, but it's been my experience with them through the years that they know very little about baseball and a whole lot about pinbacks and vintage toys. I'd be shocked if anyone that works at Hake's had ever heard the name Pete Hill.
