Don Miller autograph 1927 Yankee

[rand1com]

Well, someone snagged the single item, a report card, with (3) Don Miller autographs on it last night in the SCP suction but at a steep price, just over $5K. High bid was around $600 when the extended bidding started and closed at a hammer price over $4K before the 20% premium. Add potential sales tax and shipping and the total is even higher. My guess is the winning buyer will split the (3), keep (1) and try to recoup some of his money by reselling the other (2).

Weird things always seem to happen whenever the Red Sox or Cubs are involved in playoffs or WS. Don't blame Buckner the "goat" in that Series was John McNamara who completely forgot he was a manager. Buckner should have never even STARTED the game and certainly should have been on the bench with that lead, even if McNamara himself had to play 1st base.

They also had a photo of the pitching staff (came from his estate) that was also signed by Don. Ended up just over $14k.

To bring this back to the "27 Yankees. I have all who appeared in a game, the coaches, Huggins Roth, Doc Woods, and Kritchel. But not Eddie Bennett. Have only ever seen him on team balls--and I'm not about to buy another one of them.
Anybody got a Bennett salary check?

Never saw a Bennett check. I wonder if he was officially on the payroll.

I have images of 6 different Eddie Bennett signed album pages/cuts in my comp folder...one of which I bought from a member on here a few months ago
