Not sure if I am going to hold onto this one or not. First one I have ever seen signed from this set.

I was mostly following the 1931 Japan items, but I was very surprised by some of the ending prices. I'm sure other items sold really strong, but the ones I saw were pretty low. I would have loved to have won the 1931 signed baseballs (US and Japanese teams) which I think were a great deal.

I had my eye on those as well. What I love about them is the unique nature of the photos combined with the vintage signatures. A Lefty Grove signed smaller sized photo is nice but usually nothing special. A vintage signed Lefty Grove snapshot, however....different story. And that there are five of those plus the rest of what is there. Wonderful stuff and a great pickup.

I’ve come to expect that we are probably eyeing the same auctions 😆.

I really don’t know what the individual cards are worth but they seemed insanely cool. Gives me something really cool to research.

For 30 bucks I couldn't resist. Nice shot of Piazza at his first spring training:

Tom I have one too. Sig darker but your signature looks more vintage. Nice pick up
