Good work Ed, you sniped me well. By the time I confirmed my bid the auction had closed. I came on to see if the person who won that lot might be breaking it up. Unfortunately you are keeping the wrong card.

I get to add this piece to my Kansas City collection. I went back and forth with one other bidder and put in one last bid and went to bed. Was surprised to still be the high bidder when I got up. It's certainly an important piece to KC baseball. Also a nice bit of information on the back. Jay, it found a good home.

Lot 146 - The Des Moines Team Cabinet is really cool. I should have went after that one. Who ever got it picked it up for a really good price. Four of the players on the cabinet are also the four players that represent Toledo in the N172 team set. Plus, that picture of the stands at the bottom just makes it a really neat cabinet. Congratulations to the person that picked up that nugget.

So glad you didn't go after the Des Moines cabinet. I am overjoyed to have picked it up for the price.

The grandstand photo is great. I have a Des Moines team photo from 1888 with the same grandstand image behind the team from the Boyd studio. Additional, there is a very ornate imperial cabinet from LaRoche with the same grandstand image. I have also seen on here a normal sized cabinet of the same LaRoche imperial. It would be nice to have all four someday but I doubt I will have to cash for the imperial.

Craig,

So good to hear it was picked up by someone in the N54 family that will truly appreciate it. That was such a nice price on that cabinet!

Ah, that was fun, wasn’t it? I was on pins and needles hoping to get it. I felt the Rapps alone was worth close to what the hammer was. I don’t have many E100s anymore, but I kept my Rapps type 1 and 2 (orange) for my type collection. The green type 2 just closes that part of my collection. Sorry it was you on the other end. Good news is I won’t be bidding against you if another type 2 comes out (maybe).
