I love that Mordecai photo, nice pick up!

Thought I did well with the New York Giants material I was after. Didn't win 'em all but I'm happy .

I was the underbidder on that Brown. I may be wrong but i think the Cubs used the Whales jerseys for the first paRT of 1916. I remember seeing a team photo from spring training where they are wearing the whales jerseys. Also that is Jimmy Lavender next to Brown and he never played with the Whales, plus the 1916 stamp on back

Hi Sean. My research showed exactly what you found, except I did not know the Cubs wore the Whales jerseys. I feel better knowing that as the stamp and Lavender now make sense - I was concerned that someone might have doctored the logo on the print, as the socks,caps, undershirt all matched 1916 Cubs unis. Thanks.

Also, Rhys' scan indicates a very sharp image. I will post a hi-res scan when the print arrives.

I picked up the Spahn pre-rookie well below my high bid.

The 1904 Matty went $1500 below where it went last time. The Bustin Babe/ Gehrig went strong.

Paul, Great pickup on the Spahn. Scott.. brown photo is cool/rare.

I added to my T205 photo set. Unfortunately i am traveling and at a work convention. Therefore, i had to put high bids in. I hate doing that vs bidding at end.. never a plus. Somone kept creeping the bids all the way up. I was still able to get 4 of 5 though. The winning bidder sure wanted the Tannehill - they deserve it at that price. I think these sure are neat though. 1-colorful set + 2 i love my portraits= 3 I’m a sucker for them.

Thanks Ben. Great pick-ups for your T205 set.

Yes, putting in high bids at RMY and walking away will absolutely kill you. I did it on about five pieces, then slapped myself and opened a beer.

I just could stay up long enough last night. I thought I put in high enough max bids on the 8 or so lots I was bidding on. This morning I learned I only won one lot (the 1927 Forbes Field photo).

If anyone on here won the Greenberg in a Pirates uniform, I am highly interested in it. I thought I raised my max on that one, but I obviously did not.
