Merkin Collection - Part 2?

[bcbgcbrcb]

After speaking to the people at Hake’s today, I just wanted to provide an update for those who asked about whether or not there would be any more Negro League HOF cards coming up in future Merkin Collection auctions. I was told that there are still more Winter League HOF’er cards to come, primarily those from the 1940’s such as Toleteros, etc. as opposed to the 1920’s Cuban cards that were auctioned previously. Also, many more original NL photos, postcards, etc. with NL HOF’ers along with many MLB original photos. I was also informed that some of the higher end pieces could appear in either the regular catalogue auctions or online only Merkin exclusive auctions.

Thank you, Phil. Great information!!!

I am very curious, and maybe a bit nervous, about this auction. The majority of the Cuban cards are of lesser known players. I would have been the bidder on many lots 5 years ago when I was putting my Long Branch Cubans collection together but now I am well stocked with players like Ricardo Torres, Jacinto Calvo and Jose Acosta. These were great players who where actually baseball pioneers but may not be appreciated today. I think it is possible that alot of these very rare cards go for a low price.

Damm, for a second I thought one of you guys had a merkin collection. That would be some niche to carve out.
