Heritage Auctions - Boston Garters

[DCDcollects]

It's been a long time since I've checked records, but I know we had a complete set of these 1914. Pretty sure we had a complete (or near) 1912 set as well.

If I recall correctly, the 1912s sold privately, while the 1914 set was sold in the higher-end catalog we did. This was maybe 10 years ago, so my memories could be off a bit.

Always loved these cards, along with the other display materials one could have with them!

Hi Doug! I hope all is well with you and your family. I still fondly remember going up with Richard and my younger son, Matt, to see your family collection about ten years ago. Your museum was incredible.

Kind words, and I very much remember those days as well. Sometimes it seems so long ago, but certain things bring it back very vividly!

All is well here, now doing a lot of work for museums and national touring exhibitions. Still collecting a bit (though mostly game-worn Mike Trout stuff).

Hope you and the family are well. Would be great to catch up sometime!

Not to derail this thread too much

I was fortunate to visit Doug & Chad's museum & spend the day there
Incredible! They even served lunch
Fantastic hosts!

Room after room of cards & memorabilia, & not just sports.
Like Fonzi & Arnold's Terminator jackets, a whole room of Lucy memorabilia
pinball machines, tobacco shop posters from Allen & Ginter, Duke's, Kimball's etc..
& a whole room w/ binder after binder of cards, I spent awhile just on the N284 Buchner binder.

Here's a shot of my wife Carole, standing next to a life size Shaq bobblehead wearing his game used jersey.
Flanked on the walls, were jersey's of Kobe, Elgin & Kareem & Kareem's crutches
& she's holding Shaq's sneaker, so big she could sleep in it

I recently just picked up this piece. It was in a book of other drawings related to a lot of different products. I just thought this one was cool and timely due to the recent Boston Garter sale.

New thread made me think of the Boston Garter cards.

Was there any closure on this or just a fade away?

I have moved on everyone. My late Mom taught me like isn’t always fair. I went to bed with the set lot closed and my account stating I won the lot. I had no idea my “win” was in jeopardy and went to sleep. I couldn’t have bid higher if I wanted to and I would certainly have bid somewhat higher if I knew my bid was in trouble — that’s why I waited the full 30 minutes until after I topped the high bid on the set lot in extended bidding, the set lot closed and my account stated I won the lot. A learning experience for all and I’m sure Heritage will do better. Overall, Heritage does a good job and the best of us make mistakes. I’ve had my share of good breaks in life and feel blessed. Thanks again for a terrific board with awesome debate and thoughtful posts.
