Nice pick-up on the Pop Lloyd!

I went after 4 of the Negro League items but prices were extremely strong IMHO. I guess this auction house is no longer a secret anymore. My guess is that possibly the same Negro League collector (with very deep pockets) picked up the majority of the major pieces in this auction. I could not believe the 25th Intantry panorama that sold for $31K with the juice. Also, the Indianapolis team photo went for an extremely high price as well as the Cienfuegos postcard. The other item that I liked was the TG Album in beautiful condition and probably a fair price based on that.

Oh well, 0-for-4 on this one...........
