Why not more buzz on the Al Demaree Find/Auction?

[Bob Lemke]

I just had occasion to check out the auction action on the Demaree Die-Cuts. With a week to go every lot, the single stars and the team groupings, has an opening bid.

The Hall of Famers, especially the previously uncataloged cards, are already bid up to several hundred dollars over their "catalog" value for the grade.

It will be interesting to watch where the bidding goes after the National closes its doors and collectors look for places to spend what they brought home from Baltimore.

I never questioned that the Demaree cards wouldn't do well in the auction,(although I was hoping I could pick up the Cardinals for a reasonable amount!) my surprise was the lack of interest in the find/auction on this board devoted to vintage baseball cards. I think it is one of the most exciting finds of vintage cards in recent history given that there are few of them around and some that have never previoulsy been identified for a checklist.
