You wore me down with your bidding.

It wasn't me, but I was trying to get the E94 orange Speaker last night. Both of those were the second orange copies to surface, I believe. I finally had to check out as the underbidder on the Speaker, so congrats to whoever got it, and keep me in mind when it's time for you to sell it!

I was wondering if you were on that one Scott, would have been a nice addition to your run. I believe it's the only Orange Speaker, the Crawford is the second confirmed Orange.
Correction: a member confirmed there are two Orange Speakers.

Thanks Phil - there is an SGC 80 Speaker orange as well. Hopefully one of them will find a home in my run at some point, but the finances wouldn't let me continue any further last night!

Its interesting that the three known doubles are all high grade. Cobb, Crawford, and Speaker.

Nice, Nico, congrats.

I needed some vintage on my table for when we go to Deer Valley.

As a Ruth Red Sox collector, of course love the rookie team photo above and photos from the Red Sox Draper & Maynard factory visit. That HR record breaking ticket is also incredible.

There's also a 1916 World Series 3-game ticket which fans would have used to see Ruth's WS pitching debut & historic 14-inning performance. Full disclosure that's my consignment as I found two from the original owner on eBay last year.

Sports Collectors Daily did a recent short article about the tickets too...
