I picked up the Mino Speaker -- I saw the card in person, and this scan doesn't do it justice...so I'm pleased.

Cheers,
Steve

Beautiful card, Steve

I picked up the T209 Thompson. I've always wanted this card. Definitely would have preferred the better looking copy from Leon's auction, but take what you can get.

Thanks Steve. That Mino Speaker is stunning. Congratulations.

Picked this up for my Clark Griffith collection

Derek:

Great pick up on the Clemente premium. That was one that I was always after but alluded me as I never saw it come up for sale/auction in the 10 years that I was searching. Not sure if it is unique, most likely, there are a few surviving examples, but definitely a toughie....

I picked up the yellow Gehrig. $7000 ($8400).

PSA 9 OC. I don't buy off center cards generally, but seriously thought that might go much higher. Guess the old centering bias lives on. Stunning card. For some reason the north-south centering issue doesn't bother me.

I'm never going to spend 6 figures for a Goudey Gehrig 9 that's not qualified. Took a flyer on this one and can't wait to see it in person.

Since my bid didn't move for a week I guess others saw it very differently and might think I'm crazy. I'm over the moon I got it.

Kenny - sorry to bump you on the Nichols. That's a great looking card!

I overpaid for three of my four LOTG pick-ups...but I was pleased with the results of the items I consigned. These are my two favorite pick-ups from last night:

c1910 Oakland City Walkovers PC w/ Roush:


1952-53 Santurce Crabbers Composite Photo w/ Clemente:

Love that Roush postcard. I wondered if you would be in the mix on that one. Glad to see you got it.

I got a couple of PC796 (Walsh and Evers) and went a lot higher than I ever expected to go on a Branch Rickey Willard's Chocolate, but I totally forgot to bid on some HoFer W575-2s which I would have paid more than the final price on. If anyone here happens to have bought them and wants to flip them for a premium, please let me know.

Derek, I am sorry to bump you a tad on the Walkovers PC. Nice pick-up, but I am surprised you didn't also get the Walkovers cabinet photo. I was also hoping to pick up that LaLonge portrait, but lost while sleeping. You said you over-paid on three of four lots, what were the other two?

ccre, I was under on that Lafitte, congrats on a nice card.

Oh, and I got the Walkovers cabinet photo, and the Virginia Extra Smith.

This is my first auction not buying any cardboard. Picked up my first autographed bats mostly for the Larson and Fielder.

1) Ruben Sierra
2) Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez
3) Don Larsen
4) Bucky Dent
5) Cecil Fielder.

I have a c1909 Walkovers Team PC already, so it would have been overkill to grab the 1910 Cabinet as well!

As for the other two items, I got the 1953-54 Caguas Team Photo w/ Hank Aaron and the 1960 National Bank of Omaha "Proof" w/ Marichal. I hadn't even seen the Marichal until the last day of bidding...I guess it's always worth a second look to make sure you didn't miss anything the first time around.

Derek, no worries. I was happy to win it at a decent price. It is a nice upgrade and all is good. Best,

Kenny

Just missed out on many of the lots but did win a few good ones! I'm happy.

[VoodooChild]

Derek.....nice pick-up of the Santurce Clemente....congrats! I was bidding but got out early on.

Unfortunately, I was only able to win a couple small pieces and wasn't able to win the Paddy O'Connor Cabinet or the PC796 Gibson. I went to college outside of Erie, so I thought the postcard was cool. Also picked up the Maple Crispette Jigger Statz as my interest in PCL history is growing.
