Having trouble loading a picture of the contracts, but think I did ok on the passport and very well on the contracts.

Pretty cool.... some great upside if he makes it into the HOF one day... regardless, pretty cool piece

Thanks! The feeling I'm getting today is that barring something changing, it doesn't sound like they are expecting to many new Negro League additions to the HOF, but it would be cool obviously.

Here is a picture of one of the contracts

Amazing wins, guys! Congrats!

I was able to get several, but only expect to hold onto one:

The circa 1910 Art Devlin/Harry Lord/Bill Carrigan letters:








The 1901 Pirates contract signed by Harry Pulliam:






The Ray Dandridge Cuban League contract:






And a new centerpiece to my collection, the Lizzie Arlington (Stride) signed contract (also with super early Ed Barrow):

Those are amazing! I hadn't heard of Pulliam before but a quick reading introduced me. And the Lizzie Stride piece is awesome!

I was thinking of going after the letters since I have the Walter Johnson letter from the same episode, but ultimately felt I'd rather focus on other pieces.

I was able to get the Armando Marsans 1916 American League Contract which also has the autograph of Branch Rickey.

Congrats guys...David, SO glad you got your Smoky! I thought of you as soon as I saw it, and was hoping you'd win it. Nice!

I'm very excited to have won my first Horner Cabinet- Bowerman. The image was used for his T206 card. Man, that was an intense auction close; juggling all of the bidding (on 7 of them), and the way they close their auctions, well, it's just not great.
