CLOSING TONIGHT - Love of the Game Auctions

[Al C.risafulli]

Hi All:

Hope all is well.

Just a quick reminder that tonight is the closing night for LOTG's Fall Premier Auction.

The extended bidding period begins at 9PM EST.

This auction has many highlights, including:

• Our largest-ever selection of T206s; more than 100 lots including the rarest backs, print errors and miscuts, Hall of Famers, multiple group lots, cigarette packs, and even a near set with more than 540 cards (including dupes).

• Our largest-ever selection of memorabilia - more than 100 lots, including a great collection of Yankees memorabilia (pennants, scorecards, yearbooks and more), a number of historically significant passes, tickets and stubs, plus photos, lithos, and lots more. Plus, an original portrait of Christy Mathewson by our own Graig Kriendler. And Matty's WWI military garment bag, one of the coolest things we've ever sold.

• The "Stockton Find" of 1914 and 1915 Cracker Jacks; more than 150 lots of original owner CJs, including most of the keys.

• More complete Topps and Bowman sets from the "Texas Find" we uncovered this past summer.

• A huge assortment of signed 1952 Topps cards, including the only known signed example of the Frank Campos "Black Star" variation, all from the Texas Find.

• An exceptional grouping of 19th Century cards, including some gorgeous N172s, as well as examples from the Gypsy Queen, G&B Chewing Gum, Kalamazoo Bats, S.F. Hess Newsboys League, Allen & Ginter, and Buchner issues.

Just went through the on-line catalog. Terrific auction, Al. Lots of diversity. That CJ Matty is a killer. Sent you a bunch of smart-ass emails which you can ignore. Hope you make lots of money, some of which will be my mine. ETA for clarification: Haven't consigned anything, have several bids planned.

I'm hoping the lot that I consigned goes for big bucks and ones that I'm trying to buy go cheap.

Shameless plug but this Ruth pc does look amazing in person...

I am curious about something but will wait until the auction is over before asking.

I agree with this. Great auction house consistently. Well done Al

That 1914 Mathewson is almost $49,000 (with commission).

Any updates Al?

Auction is closed.

Thank you all SO MUCH for participating in the auction, and thanks for all the kind words above. Hopefully everyone enjoyed bidding and consigning as much as we enjoyed presenting the auction.

Invoices will be emailed out by close of business on Monday.

Now it's time to begin assembling the Winter, 2017 Catalog Auction. I'm hoping to make it a truly special one - if anyone would like to participate as a consignor, please reach out, as I've got some special "early bird" consignor incentives on higher-end cards, sets and memorabilia.

Thanks again!
