Post your Leland's pickups in last night's auction

[Runscott]

congratulations Scott. I woke up this morning GLAD I only won two items. There was so much great stuff last night that I bid on way more than I could really afford. I was the underbidder on the Fatima ad of 1916 Red Sox, and the Mel Ott handwritten letter. Couldn't touch that spectacular portrait photo of Lou Gehrig, which I still think went cheap at $2K + juice. The Ruth signed ball did really well in my opinion.

Great stuff once again!

I was very happy to win this stuff from the Red Sox' 1919 barnstorming tour, especially the action cabinet photos and the telegram from Walter Johnson, offering to pitch. Think the amateur team accepted his offer?

I think I was underbidder on the Ruth barnstorming lot. I ended up winning these two:



Babe Adams estate photograph and RPPC lot. Some very interesting looking stuff in here. Can't wait to get hold of it.



Ol' Pete Fatima poster.

Well, I was the under-bidder on the Babe Adams lot you won, so we are even

Ditto with the Babe Adams.

I really wanted this lot..but quickly got out of my price range:



Crazy the amount it sold for back in 2005 for the same lot!

Who ever purchased it and thinking about selling a few, I would be interested

Not the exact same group of pics (17 vs 14, and different ones included), but still a steal in the old auction. This one, not so much.

Great stuff, Guys!
Ken & Scott F. thanks for the well wishes on scoring the Vandy shutout trophy ball.

Tom, that's an awesome looking lot of photos. I'm sure at least some of them are from spring training, which for most of Adam's career was in Hot Springs, AR. I've done a lot of research on photographs of baseball in Hot Springs, so if you're interested, I'd love to help look through some photos or scans and see if I can possibly help identify which ones might be from Hot Springs.
