The OJ prices were pretty wild. When I sell a Watch Burnam it's a $185 card. If I sell Big Sam Thompson it's $850 not 20 grand.

E cards are down, so that's what I bought.

Going in I wanted the Otto Frank Holbert cabinet. I pushed it to $1440, but let it go. These prototypes are bargains I think, but they sell pretty low for what they are.

Nice Bemis Rob, hard to find that one centered.

I picked up a nice set of Victorian Trade cards that had been on my want list, and a few more Federal League photos. However, upon closer analysis this morning, it turns out that one of the Federal League photos I picked up is actually a 1916 Cubs picture. (Please see my other thread trying to identify the player in the background)

The player in the background is wearing a Chicago Whales uniform.

Thanks Jay and nice Cicotte yourself Daniel--thanks for either not bidding or stopping short. The 1916 card prices were modest compared to the 1921's. I got skunked on the Herps, not in the ballpark on most or even in the nearby parking lot on others. Really wanted the Hooper but it was not to be and they all ended up beyond my reach. Oh well, the Morehouse hit the spot for me, and I could even have a few $$$ left over to spend on the Holidays, assuming my computer crashes and I can't bid on any more auctions beforehand.

Right. Part of the mystery I unraveled this morning (detailed in the other thread) is that this is not a picture of the Chicago Whales as advertised, but a post-merger 1916 Spring Training picture of the Cubs wearing the old uniforms.

I was trying for a few other things but this was my lone winner.

Thanks Bicem, Swadewade51 and Pherbener for the kind words. It’s my first Matty and I love it. The more I dig into the history of all these old photos the more I love them. I can say i am officially hooked on these old vintage photos. Thanks to everyone along the way with all the helpful advice.

Thanks, Phil, I was glad to get it. I was looking at an e93 Jones that was also a bargain, but I did not place a marker bid on it.

The Jones was nice too. I had markers on both those cards but was making a push on the PC796 Matty, which I didn't get. On to REA with some dry powder from my consignments last night.

I won three cards last night - two Herpolsheimer‘s and the well loved Johnson; the T206 SC OP. The Herpolsheimer’s are the Steve O’Neill and the Zeb Terry.
How could I pass up on a name like Herposheimer’s? I will be trying to work that name into conversations all week for sure! Happy to get these.

[Brian Van Horn]

OT and of course not picked up in the auction, but my three favorite Sisler cards.

[Tim Kindler]

I was very happy to pick up the Crawford fielding T206 SGC 3.5 and a couple of E98s for old time feelings.......
The Crawford gets it down to 48 to go to tame The Monster.

On another note, does anyone have any idea how the E98 Chase in a 3 went for over a grand??? Phil, or other E98 folks, do you have any idea what I might be missing? Just seemed really high!
