Leland's Miracle Auction

[ruth-gehrig]

I guess not a huge issue to me because I get up early anyways but I stopped getting outbid notification emails sometime throughout the night. Last evening outbid emails were getting delivered to email inbox. Prior to going to bed around 10pm I was high bidder on two lots. Woke up at 3:30am to check email and no outbid emails so Im thinking I must still be winning those two lots. I log into leland's to find that Ive been outbid on both. No sign of outbid in inbox or junk.

Probably overpaid a little but love the image.

I experienced the same thing, but then Outbid emails came on a delayed basis. Was watching over 40 lots, but came away with just one.

I got one bat - I was too focused on another lot that I wanted (which I lost) and missed out on some good deals IMO.
I thought the Spalding trophy was cheap and the big leather glove chair was a steal !

Anyone follow Lot 787 - the Cobb Decal Bat? It may have been a gamer, and potentially a tremendous steal at the price it went for. I was concerned about the 33.5" length (short for Cobb) but it matches this one to a tee...

I bet it resurfaces (with a nice LOA) and at a much higher price. This is one for which the outbid email notice was delayed... and of course is eating away at me.

I was the high bidder on the '37 Ciudad Trujillo photo until approximately 4:15am when I was outbid and didn't have the funds to go any higher. A big disappointment indeed, if only the auction had closed an hour earlier than the actual 5:15am closing time.... I think the winner still got a pretty good deal, congrats to them.

I was lucky enough to pick up the '35 Negro League broadside picturing six team composite photos from that season. This is the second one of these that I have owned, the previous one I stupidly cut up into six pieces so that I could have Beckett encapsulate them for my BB HOF RC collection at the time. You can rest assured that I won't be doing that again this time around.....

Nice to have my first auction pick-up in nearly a year under my belt.

Got beat on everything in the middle of the night.

If anyone wants to sell any of the signed baseballs from the Jim Armstrong collections or one of Gaylord Perry's win baseballs, let me know.

Matt - Absolutely agree with you on big leather Dimaggio glove chair. I've already got one but was back up bidder on this one because of the bargain. Im okay that I didnt win it because I really didnt need two. These things are rather large.


Mark - I wondered if the Cobb decal bat could be a gamer although didnt find the link you provided. It matches but since Lelands didnt provide this bat's weight this possibly provided substantial doubt among bidders??
