BST Auction football

The only item I bid on was the 32 Championship program - I was nowhere near winning though

There was another interesting program. It incorrectly lists Tony Latone's college as Purdue:

As mentioned in another thread, there was a stigma at this time against any players who didn't go to college. It's likely either Latone or the promoters for the Coral Gables game assigned Latone a college so he'd fit in with everybody else.

Shocked at the price the 1932 program went for. I had it valued at between $5K-$7K given other sales but clearly a couple of collectors really wanted it.

I can understand that as it's a great piece of history and anyone would love to own it!

Another interesting thing about that price - its possible that program was the same one sold on the History channel TV show Pawn Stars for 2,750. This is only link I can find right now, but there are others:

I don't believe it is. Can't remember where I saw a photo of that one but I believe the burn marks were much more extensive on it. This one was in a bit better shape.

OK, thanks Jeff - the only reason I watch the show is for the off chance of catching something like that and of course I missed it. I did see once where they bought a very early (late 60s?) Miami Dolphins playbook. I don't know if the fact that you don't see those much, make them more or less collectable though.

I picked up the Walker Packer set.

I stopped bidding on the Grange Coral program at like $1200, I love that pose of him on the front, like he's going to burst through the page

I would have loved the Bears program, but the Walker Packer set took precedence, and I wasn't sure if someone was sandbagging it to bid late. I live on the west coast so it was easy to stay up and watch the auction, which ended around Weekend Update on SNL.
