Some of my finds from a local auction in the last two weeks.

This auction is slowly selling off this former pediatrists estate and I am slowly buying it. Not sure how much of it is making it to the auction but I have about 40 pounds of photo copies and slowly there is some good stuff in the mix, almost like it's just the stuff that got overlooked. I kind of like it that way because I'm not paying much for it, I kind of think that people are also sick of getting burned by sports stuff. I will keep updating this post with more finds. Not sports related but I got this nifty tiffany cigar tube from the 20's for $90, that's scrap weight!!!



This seems pretty scarce, any value? It's in nice shape considering it's age.




Williamsport grays, almost full team signed, anybody good?








Any value here, I could not find much but a couple sigs I cant make out.








Some wheaties cards?








Not sure who this is but the signature seems legit, There are three post cards and one is signed.

Did I hit the lottery? I have no clue but I'm skeptical.


















Not sure who this is, it is a printed auto.


Some original press photos.








Looks legit? It looks like there is pen indentation.

Who is it?




Just a photo, but it seems to have some history, who is it?






Is this considered a card or a photo and who is it?




Looks like it was signed with two different pens and I can not find this photo.






Iced tee anyone?








Can't tell who this is.


Eisenhower hittin the green, original press photo. Too bad it has a small tear, is there anything I should do or just leave it alone?

[bullgill]

Who is it, both autos by the same person.




Not sure who it is, and if legit.


Seems legit.


Have no clue who he is.


Seems legit.


Seems legit.




Score, I can see the bambino himself using this.

Certainly the Wheaties Mantle jumped out to me. That should cover whatever you paid and more.

Yeah way more but I wanted opinions on whether I should be warry of the possibility of fakes or reprints before sending it off for grading. My jaw hit the floor when I pulled it out of the box. I did not even know half of this stuff was in there. So much junk and yet so much treasure. There are over 30 cleveland rams original type 1 press photos among allot of other stuff.

Seeing a few photos with stamps on back seems positive for some of the photos. I suspect some are type 1.

Can’t speak about fake Wheaties but if really spent $90 it is worth the gamble if you are reselling.

I would take it off your hands as I have a type 1 of that image.

I spent a total of about $250 including the photo and ball I bought three weeks ago and the tiffany cigar tube. The mantle mays photo I bought three weeks ago from the same consignment did not get good reviews. That's cool that you have the type 1 of the image!

From what I can see of the small pics, those Index Cards/Cut Signatures are looking very Coach's Corner-ish. Really tough to speak to the other stuff, unless you're able to post some larger images.
