House of David Barnstormers on Ebay

[Shoeless Moe]

The House of David Museum in Michigan is having a renovation and they are selling some amazing items from the 1900's - 1930's. Uniforms, pennants, signed balls, photos, signs, etc.

Some great stuff, I didn't want any true collectors to miss out.

I talked to the guy and he said the 4 uni's would be the only HOD uni's they would be sellling, but will probably be putting up a few non HOD uni's. The 1935 one, not up on Ebay but on their Site, is a replica however. I inquired about buying because it was the same kind as Grover Cleveland Alexander wore, but again he said they didn't have an original one of those, but rather a repro.

HOD played against Satchel Paige and many of the negro league teams and also played against a few of the Black Sox members as well.

Maybe a change of heart? I'm a bit shocked that they are parting with any of this stuff.

I wonder if an auction house contacted them? I just emailed the seller, I'll post when they reply, most likely in the morning.

reply from seller:

"They were all sold tonight to the Negro League Baseball Museum"

(The 3 remaining uniforms, the baseball cash box, some of the photos, the HOD sign, and the broadside/scorecards lots) - man they cleared 'em out of the baseball items.

If true, I think that's great.
