Legendary Live auction LOT#6 & t206

Yeah, nice item but I do not see the Horner connection.

Did you notice that there isn't a single baseball card in the auction? That's strange.

This does say its a preview, if more items are added, you might have some cards added

Rich- I got the catalog in the mail yesterday. I assume that's the complete auction.

There are several neat items if you want to start collecting items that are "possibly" something.

From the piece and the description I don't see the connection to Horner. Also, count me in the camp of someone who doesn't really care for the look of it either.

Barry,

I noticed the same thing - not 1 card. Unless they are saving them for their next auction, that is 2 weeks after the National?

Also, prior Live auctions, they had around 100 lots, this auction has 59.

I attributed there not being a single card to the fact that they are calling this a "Memorabilia" auction. When the catalog came yesterday I was surprised because I knew this auction didn't have many items in it. Then I noticed each item was getting 2-3 pages.

As a side note I hated the catalog. I couldn't read a lot of it without straining my eyes because the font was too skinny for the printing process so the color washed out the skinny parts on the fonts. I like the pictures though

Agreed. Trying to read the white print against a blue background was nearly impossible. Whoever designed it didn't do a good job.

Agreed! White print on ANY color background is asking for readability issues.
Couldn't they just have had black text on a white/cream/soft background with the colored background acting as a border? Or better yet, fading into the white/cream/soft background around the black text?

If it's not Horner, there's a strong chance it was another prominent photographer who took the Giants portraits. It would be an established New York studio taking their team portraits. BJ Falk photographed Giants players in the early 1900s, and he's would qualify as a big name photographer.
