I have an old scrapbook with that photograph (not nearly as nice as that, probably from some publication!) in it, and whoever made the scrapbook wrote in this John Kieran quote: "Mathewson was the best pitcher I ever saw. He was the best anyone ever saw. Let them name all the others. I don't care. Mathewson was better." I think that is the best photo ever made of him.

Can one of you guys contact Hunt Auctions and make sure they did not send 50 of those lots to a Best Western in the middle of nowhere?

Joking aside, amazing auction that I happened to stumble upon earlier this AM.

Beautiful and appropriate, given the most astonishing bonehead move ever. Hope is the AH is listening,

Can someone share the story?

So
What does everyone think about the results?
Very annoying to hold the auction on a workday
Was super busy at work and it was difficult to keep track of the lots

I've never bid at a live Hunt Auction before, but when I tried to log in, to Invaluable, I was unable to. Wasn't going to be a big player in the auction, but would have liked to have grabbed a photo or two.
