Personally I am looking for two or three partners for the lot of 40 score cards from the 1937 Dominican season featuring the Trujillo team. I would like a couple of partners who would like to split up the originals and get everyone high quality scans of rest

Also if anyone is going after the contract lot - I am very interested in the Pedro cepeda contract

Thanks

Please use for you partner requests

There are several lesser contracts in that lot I'd be interested in.

Never ceases to amaze the quality of items in the majority of the lots. Most auction houses would list the items individually.

A fun idea - what if we went in on one of the lots and did a snake-draft?


For example, 5-10 members go in on one of the Conlon lots like this one and then have a snake draft to pick which photos we want from the group. So, using the linked lot as an example, lets say the hammer price (with BP) is $7,000 - 10 members go in for $700 and then everyone gets 5 photos. Someone will be responsible for scanning the front/back of each photo. Then we set a draft order and start picking.

That would actually be a lot of fun. Fantasy league style collecting.

I'd be interested in any Pirates photos. Anyone going to be bidding on the team photos lots?

Count me in for that

Dozens of photos in each lot, with only five preview images? How do they expect people to pay their estimates of $5k - $10k without being able to view what we're getting? Crazy.
