One of the Greatest Type Collections Assembled

-The Leon Luckey type collection-

As a type collector I will occasionally view Leon's Collection sold at Heritage on August 13th, 2015 for inspiration and enjoyment.

617 lots of some of the most incredible type cards put together in one collection, imho could not be duplicated today no matter how much money one has. An incredible collecting feat.

For newer members who aren't familiar with his V1 collection or have never seen it all in one place, here's the link below, its a whole bunch of eye candy.

Many members here have a piece from that collection and Leon has repatriated many of those cards back to his V2 collection. Here's one from that collection, other members may want to post theirs.

Thanks for posting Phil! I still have a couple of Leon’s cards from probably a decade before he sold it off. It’s an amazing collection by a righteous dude!

I could not agree more. This one made it into my collection . . . Thanks to Leon. Note that it was an SGC 1.5 at the time. Scott

I bought a card from Leon years ago, but I don't think it was really part of his V1 collection so likely doesn't count here. It was this very cool miscut E90-1 Groom where you can see a sliver of the card that was next to Groom on the sheet.

I have the Heritage catalog for the auction of Leon's V1 collection and will often leaf through it even now. He had one card that I really need but will likely never own. If was the Victory Hooks Wiltse Jersey City team card. That's a one of one and I need it for my Jersey City team set.

Always impressed by that catalog Leon.

A totally incredible collection. So many awesome and super rare pieces. I am having a blast going through the auction. The auction occurred just as got back into collecting. I wish it was a few years later…

Here are 4 that I have, although we have many more in common. Some lucky dude will soon own the Cy Young Ghost Mullaney Multi-Strike, which I consigned to memory lane.
