The most incredible collection ever

[Archive]

Posted By: scott hassel / Mr.Ginter

Like many busy business people I do most of my really important reading ( hobby stuff ) in that private room where my wife and kids can't interrupt me. I won't bother to elaborate just where that room is as you can just use your imagination. Its always the same. I pick up one of my 200 or so old auction catalogs and begin thumbing through the pages. For some of the newbie vintage baseball collectors here I highly recommend getting yourself a copy of Sotherby's March 23 , 1991 auction catalogue...yes the Copeland Collection. I started collecting vintage material in 1993 and I hadn't had the good fortune to eye ball this collection in person. If you think the Halper Collection was incredible this one will " blow your doors off ". I'm amazed , yes amazed at the depth of the James Copeland collection. When you view a page and think it can't get any better you turn to the next page and your heart skips a beat...and guess who was the expert consultant on that auction. None other than Mr.Bill Mastro. In any event , do yourself a favor and find a copy anyway you can. You' won't be sorry. Happy collecting and a Happy and Healthy New Year to you all.
