RR Baseball Contracts

[Runscott]

Anyone get any? I was going to go after the Nolan Ryan 1972 Angels contract, but...forgot that bidding stops at 8:00pm Eastern and extended starts at 9:00pm. I was ready to bid at 8:55pm and got that all-too-familiar message.

So, anyone?

You've got to be kidding me - no one here was watching last night's RR auction?

That was the best set of big-name early player contracts I've seen in one auction.

Okay, I will go ahead and post some eye-candy. This amuses ME, so I'm running with it!

Cool pieces

Those are great!

I kept an eye on the auction, but wasn’t in on anything. Got one of my first signed T206s in an RR auction maybe 14 years ago.

The prices for their cards was quite high so there were definitely people watching. Contracts are cool and something I would collect if I was doing autographs.

I bid on quite a few but did not win any.

The one I was most interested in was the Campanella Puerto Rico contract. I was the 2nd highest bidder, but wasn't ready to get into a major bidding war on it. I do think the price was pretty reasonable on it.

The other 2 I was most interested in were Monte Irvin and Willard Brown.

I thought the Aaron from the season he set the home run record would go for more. Otherwise, the prices seemed pretty strong.
