I, too, thought it was strange that they cut the Wagner bat estimate in half from the catalog number... Maybe they estimated that one before the indictment?

So other than the bat, it sounds pretty much like business as usual for Legendary, so far anyhow. I guess it's hard to judge based on this auction because it had so many unique items; an auction with more run of the mill/commodity type stuff will be more telling; and of course we will see if they continue to get consignments which may be where the biggest impact is.

Sounds like business as usual for any house, no? "Most lots sold within estimate range. Some sold for less, some sold for more."

Seems like a perfect opportunity to drag them through the mud anyway for having a normal results.

Does anybody know why the Peck & Snyder trade card of Cincinnati (lot #35) was withdrawn from the Legendary Auction?

Barry-it was found that the P&S had a NYPL stamp on the back. You can see it in the catalog image if you look closely but, in all honesty, I missed it when I looked at the catalog image.

Thanks Jay. I had no idea the library was missing a P & S. Simply incredible.
