I may have bid in this one before I was officially invited, I hope my bid still counts

Auction crasher!!!

The invitational is an exclusive auction we do once a year and has stuff that we save for the entire year just for this sale.

The last one had the Curse of the Bambino Contract which brought $2,093,927 and the 1927 Babe Ruth World Series Ring Ruth Contract which brought 2,303,320.

This one features the Oscar Robertson Collection, the T206 cards from the Charles Bray Collection and the finest group of early baseball we have offered in years. This includes a 1903 Boston Red Sox Horner Cabinet of the first World Series Champions and a matching 1902 Chicago White Sox Horner Cabinet.

I'm awarding 1 point to both drcy and R0nnie for their comment!

The White Sox Horner cabinet is also from 1903. The 1902 team was managed by Clark Griffith, as seen in the center of the 1902 Horner cabinet below. The 1903 team was managed by Jimmy Callahan, who is in the center of the Horner cabinet that you have in this auction. The 1903 team also included Nick Altrock and Danny Green (just to the left of Callahan) and Frank Owen (upper right corner), none of whom were on the 1902 team.

That La Azora schedule card of Ty Cobb is super cool. I have never seen that one before. I could see the bidding getting really crazy for such an obscure Cobb item.

One i used to own....it brought around 5700 three years ago but I think would be decidedly more today, but who knows?

The item that caught my attention is the 1907 tigers uniform and I would love to own maybe one day

It may be too rare for its own good. With that being said, it is part of a known series of schedules made by La Azora. Safe to say the population on them are under 3 on each pose.

I get what you are saying about perhaps being too rare, but it is Ty Cobb. Cobb items overall really seem hot the past couple years.

Thanks for the heads up! We are going to make the necessary adjustments.
