Sorry about that. I guess you probably used more common sense than I did. I let the collector in me have his way too often, as he did this time too.
I think I probably overpaid just a little but when would I see another? And I think, without going back, there were 3 other bidders right at or above 1500. I had no earthly idea where it would end. I was hoping to get it for less, of course.

And those are some other great images shown. All of those pictures are really fantastic. Way to go, guys.v Henry had some nice photos as he usually does.

I liked that Pepper Martin. Then again I was a bidder on all the photos with children, but tried a little harder for the Cardinals players.

I just got spread way too thin this time around and still happy with what I got.

Did anyone get the Pete Gray batting with Nelson? I love that photo, even when my wife saw it she just said "YES!" I asked what that meant she said I should buy it, but when I saw that it was a wire photo of a lesser known player I thought it was going to be easier to get and didn't put in a high enough bid.

I hope to find an original someday.

I've got my eye on some of the non-sport photos ending over the next couple days. There's some incredible stuff in there.

I also did some research on my Lefty Gomez photo and found out it was taken on Opening Day 1937. Lefty pitched that day, though he did suffer a loss. However, Lefty would go on to win the Triple Crown in 1937 and go 2-0 in the series.
