Did you notice that it also sold last month in Heritage for $2,031.50?

I don't understand what's going on with this card that it's been auctioned three times since August. But, I can assure you it will be staying put with me for quite some time!

#247, and most likely my last pickup for the year, thanks to fellow board member, whyconform.

Nice! Was hoping to add another name before the end of year myself but am not sure it will happen unfort.

I bought a used copy of _Press Box Red_ the story of the communist newspaper man Lester Rodney and the integration of baseball. Under $4. I corresponded with Mr. Rodney years ago and received a thoughtful letter. Book arrived and little did I know it would be signed by Lester Rodney and the author Irwin Silber. Sweet! Wish my name was Mike. Unexpected new auto day.

It is possible these are dupes for me. Won't know till I get home in March.t207.jpg

I hope you all are having a great holiday season!

I'm working on a HOF collection and normally stick to PSA/JSA/SGC certified items but I grabbed this piece last week with three HOFers that I didn't yet have (Greenberg, Cochrane and Goslin).

I was nervous at the lack of certification but grabbed Ron's book and the Goslin and Cochrane looked spot on. The "e"s on the Greenberg scared me a bit but when I checked for certified autographs of his on ebay I saw a few with that style e and felt better. Feel free to post any thoughts

I watched those signed lots in HA but guess I missed adding the Grove to my watch list. Really weird though, think that Huggins price was like $3700 pre slab. Maybe the HA buyer thought they would get closer to Huggins the price on ebay? Regardless, beautiful card. Glad that Lefty has finally found some life stability.
