				 auction 
 
			
			I went to the auction, and picked up a couple of pieces.  Prices weren't very cheap on the sports items in general, but there were some bargains I thought.  The Ruth ball which didn't look good went for 5K via absentee bid, with 1 bid in the room.  My dad and I picked up 1 Cobb piece (the Cobb signed pamphlet).  I thought the Cobb signed pieces looked good in person, but I am by no means an auto expert.
