Congrats McD. Must feel nice to have finally landed it.

I lost out on a few of the Negro Leagues contracts; many of the contracts seemed a bit undervalued.

Agreed. I think in some cases it wasn't immediately obvious that the listings were for more than 1 item. I just realized now (after the fact) that the Willard Brown listing was for 2 contracts and Leon Day was for 3. (I probably should have picked up on it when I bid on the Pedro Cepeda's, but somehow didn't.

I don't know if others may have similarly overlooked them.

David amazing Smoky Joe cabinet and glad you won it. I laugh now that I thought maybe my $2500 bid would win it. Do you remember what it went for in 2007?

I love that Smokey Joe! Sounds like we were all bidding on that one!!

Glad I gave up on that one though or I couldn't have afforded this guy!

I definitely agree that the descriptions could have been better - you really had to dig to find out the particulars for each listing! The Willard Brown contracts were pretty neat in that one had his fingerprint too. The Ray Brown contract was quite rare - I'm surprised it didn't go for more since one went for $12,000+ at REA about 10 years ago.

This very same Horner Wood sans NE corner was auctioned by Mastro in 2007. I was the underbidder. Always regretted not going harder and was pleased to get another shot at it. I don't think one can look up Mastro "prices realized" anywhere but I recall it went for a lot more in 2007. Thank you, Ben, for helping to make that so by letting the clock run out. I had a max bid placed that I really didn't want to fall back on.
