Some background on that item in an audio report from
NPR's "Only a Game" podcast of December 8:

Oh, to think what got trashed before anyone realized...

Certainly a chance to own a one of a kind piece of history!!!

Definitely history, but more like that would be cool to see in a museum cool, and not something I personally connect with to the point where I would drop a small fortune on it.

Just had a chance to browse these documents; really fires the imagination, thinking back to the game at that time. I hope that the lucky winner allows occasional public access, perhaps lends them now and then to a museum.

I agree; it would be great to see an exhibit at Cooperstown about the Players' League. However, since Cooperstown is so beholding to MLB, you wonder if they would ever highlight an organization which went head to head with the NL.

Did anyone end up getting anything from this amazing find?

The signed Keefe and Ward documents sold for far less than I thought. I was away but wish I had remembered to check that ink signed Keefe, I thought it would bring 30k+. I think announcing that there were several in the find kept the price lower than if they had just brought one to auction. It was a great pickup for the new owner!
