Jeff, I was wondering whether I would battle you on this Ruth.

Thrilled to have picked these two up, and I think I got them both at very reasonable prices.

Regarding the auction: (i) OK REA, I love you, but enough with the extended bidding glitches already. Figure that out once and for all, as its becoming a major detraction from what is otherwise one of the best auction events of the year. (ii) I thought prices in general were very strong. There were some bargains, but last night's results generally indicate that pre-war vintage remains strong

Great adds Ryan I was happy to snag the E120. Took my to about where I thought it would top, on to LOTG. Jeff I should’ve contacted you and I sure never want to bid up fellow members.

Jeff, Thanks man I was hoping to get it a little less as I’ll want to reslab. It hit my top and was a nail biter to the end. I was anxious on the 20 min countdown. The color and centering for the issue I figured I better not let it pass.

This letter is an amazing piece. I went to sleep leading at 17k and expected to lose later on for sure, but was stunned to see the final price. Would love to have this.

Agreed, loved this one!

I won the 9-page 1910 Cobb letter, great insight into Cobb's personality and the "I am with you" under the signature sealed it for me.

It is such a cool letter

I was the buyer of the accompanying baseball signed by Ruth and Gehrig

All I won was a good night's sleep! Was outbid before 9 pm

Great piece! I was a player in the low 30’s and got crushed. Never thought it would sell for $50K all in.

was hoping for a slight upgrade on my N43 Ewing...... 6500+ for a "50" looked quite a bit out of range at around 2am so I chose to fight another day. It was much easier to just go for it last REA with a large consignment that did well - I happily overpaid for my N162 along with the people who overpaid for my stuff.
