Awesome group Mike! Pls let me know if you are coin to move any of the bats and/or uniforms. Chris

Yes Mike, that could be one of the biggest and best hauls we've ever had here on a pickup thread!

I am very slowly going through them and getting pictures. Mike

I recently picked up this 1939 vintage Johnny Vander Meer Black's Annual.
These have to be fairly scarce because I've never come across one of them.

Just picked this up. It's from a photo album that contained a team photo that had been cut to make a photo collage. I believe this is the 1934 Cleveland Red Sox of the Negro National League.

I don't remember the rules about this sort of thing showing an auction before it is over but this is a nice looking item

good luck to the winning bidder

Is it even real?

The general rule is to post your thoughts after the auction has ended. Outing auctions via the Internet is considered by most to be a no-no.

There are no rules.

Potential buyers, who have already seen the auction, hate it.

Potential buyers, who would have missed the auction, love it.

Sellers love it.

Ain't this the truth!

Hi Tim,
You are indeed correct!

Scott,
You obviously didn't do anything wrong, but I wanted to let you know before you paid the invoice, and then had to go through an ordeal to get a refund. The auction house really should have had a test run with liveauctioneers before selling such an expensive sports collection. Mark, here is a link to the auction:

So are you saying you already paid for the piece and have it in hand?
