Damn, Phil, those are amazing…I’ve always coveted that Lefty Grove. Maybe one day…

For now, here are a few that now belong to someone else…some hurt more than others…many will likely never see the light of day again…

Leon, I remember your incredible auction well, having won the Davis Croft Red. As I recall, it was in aid of tuition aid for your college-bound daughter, a noble cause. Your collection was fabulous, and we at Net54 are grateful you stayed in the hobby and are rebuilding.

I have to go now. I have a lump in my throat.

All of them were Leon's - the entire auction! Leon had a fantastic type collection that I loved viewing online (still do on occasion). I won several cards from this auction, but wish I had won several more.

I sold the nicest of these two very scarce 1953-54 Briggs Meats cards of Mickey Mantle to fund purchases from Heritage's auction of Leon's fantastic collection back in 2015. An example of this Mantle card sold fairly recently for about 4-5 times what I sold mine for. Yes, the cards I got from Leon's collection have increased in value since 2015, but nothing like Mantle's cards.

The 1955 Topps Clemente and the 1956 Topps Mantle cards are cards I pulled from 5-cent wax packs when I was a kid.

I earlier posted my 52 Topps Mantle that I sold, and didn't think I had pictures of a couple of my 52 Bowman's that I sold - I sold the entire set for pennies on the dollar. I looked through my pictures and there they were. The Mantle and Mays were graded, pictured below. I sure wish I had the set back! Again, I sent these raw to Beckett several years back.

Nothing compared to Leon's, but I still miss them!

I used to own this 1911 Pinkerton Joe Jackson.

It would have looked good on My Joe Jackson Run but I sold it to get my Rookie Ruth. So sad in one way and happy in another

Hopefully in the future I can re-own it

The most beautiful set ever made

The JJ was cracked out of a SGC 5 and still can't believe PSA gave it a 3.5 (especially when you compare to the Cobb 5 below it)

+1. Nothing like the cracker jacks. Sick cards BTW

That said, T3 is pretty close on most beautiful set

I don’t sell/part with much, so I don’t have much to regret. That said, I wish I still had these two 1916 Joe Jacksons. I traded them to Jeff for a 1914 Joe Jackson Cracker Jack, which I later traded to Ethan VT for a 1908 Greenville Spinner team cabinet with Joe Jackson. Here are the Joe Jacksons I used to own

Thanks, Derek. Can't believe that you parted with the Teddy Ballgame postcard, thought that was going to be a lifetime piece for you.
