Morphy's Postcard Auction

[Jaybird]

There was one grouping that had the George Wilson Manitowoc PC. Went for about the price of that card but there were other town teams in the grouping.

There were a couple of prison RPPCs with people of color but nothing much else. The major leagues were well represented but not the Cuban or NL.

is correct. I viewed them in person twice over the last month. did not notice any negro league or cuban post cards.

Thanks, guys. Now I don't feel so bad that I missed the auction

there were a few postcards I had never seen before, like some of the '26 St. Louis Cardinals Team PC's. They definitely sold for much more than I was willing to go. Leon, my pre-auction bid was exactly the same as your winning bid for the Matty. I think you got a heck of a deal on that card! Gorgeous!

I picked this one up and am quite pleased, although admittedly, it too will probably be for resale:

And I think I was the under bidder on this Hornsby you showed. It's a cool card. For some reason I can't seem to locate any previous sales of a PC758 Matty but I am sure there are some....any help would be appreciated.

The Pinkerton should be pretty easy to value and subtract out...

This was how I did my fuzzy math before the auction began (using the 2008 REA sale that Jeff provided).
