March 19 Auction Rare Early Items

[pawpawdiv9]

i bidded on that Uncle jacks babe Ruth.. had no idea it sell for 13k
I think the other Babe 517 sold for 1k (i believe)
However, i tried my luck on a coin and won it.
I like this LIVE auction thing....Sanco gots me hooked on theirs.

I tried for the Uncle Jack's Ruth also, but bids quickly spiraled out of control for me. I was hoping to try for a color run, but with these prices, I'll just have to be satisfied with my trimmed copy.

The live auction process was pretty interesting also. I didn't win anything, but probably would try again in the future.

I just got back from the auction---Great items---the Babe Ruth card went crazy but it is so scarce $13k---also the painting of Cy Young---the season ticket also went nice plus many other items---I was a small buyer at $1600 for 8 lots---some nice non sport items too---this auction is getting better and better---Troy is getting some great consignments----its a fun auction and they give free pizza and drinks too.

Yeah, that Cy Young painting is simply amazing. It's tough to get paintings of ball-players with that much eye appeal any more. What did it go for? Without looking, I'll guess $25,000
