Ultra rare HOF autograph now on Goldin Auctions

[cjedmonton]

No matter how extensive one's HOF auto collection may be, it is almost guaranted to be missing Rube Waddell.

Incredible item...with a price to match (I have no connection to the piece, other than being a big fan of southpaws).

Is that ball legit? Looks crazy! How many Waddels are out there, and who is rarer? Beside like Joss?

10 grand and this is the last sentence?

I'm no expert, but I'd have some real questions about that ball.

I had the high bid for a bit less than 24 hours on the Rube in the Goldin auction. That is about as close as I am going to get however.

This from the auction house that brought you the infamous "Ed Delehenty" (misspelling his own name) ALS with TPA COA (I forget which famous TPA authenticated it).

Richard please tell me that was not the spelling that was approved. Dele vs. the correct Dela is bad enough but did one of the big TPGs actually approve Delehenty???
