Jimmy, thanks for the heads up. I bought a great photo during his last auction and this current auction has some great items. I've got my eye on a few.

Same here... thanks for the heads up, Jimmy!

The memorabilia offerings are a bit light, but some spectacular photos to be sure. I think I sent my snipe service into overload, inputting them all. Henry's stuff never goes cheap, so if I can actually win just a couple, that would be great.

Your right Mark. I'm hoping to win 30% of my solid attempts. You know, it sure does seem like some of them always fall through the cracks. With over 1600 auctions it's bound to happen. It took me awhile, but I finally figured that out.

It's simply evident that you can't get a bargain if you don't make a bid. Too many times I kicked myself in the ass for not placing a bid on something that went for much less than I'd thought it would go for.

Of course I tried to justify it by telling myself that, who knows how much the winner had it capped for? True, but I finally realized that one thing is certain... I'll never know until I start placing bids on them.

Best of luck to you Mark, and to you as well Anthony!

BTW... if I remember it right Anthony, in Henry's last auction, we both ended up with one of those terrific Koufax No-Hitter photos!

That's exactly right.... you never know until you bid. I always wonder what the ceiling bid was, when I see an item go for much less than market value. I have kicked myself more than a few times!

This time around, I think that Henry's post-war photos might actually trump the early ones. Just so many great images and historically significant representations. I would refer to a few specifically, but don't want to "out" any auctions that people are still hoping to win.

Should be fun to see what happens over the next few days... So far, the bids seem low, but that means nothing (as we all know!)

I'm sorry to bring this up here since it is slightly off topic, but it does concern one of Mr. Yee's auctions.

I collect mostly basketball and found this James Naismith photo, but I don't think that it is Naismith. It looks like the subject in the photo was mis-identified when this photo was restruck. What are your opinions?

Here's a link to the auction and a Naismith photo. The James Naismith I know is on the left.
