Never knew anything about that auction nor the company running it. Of course (too late now) I did a quick scan of the entire remainder of the auction, today and tomorrow and not a single relevant baseball item to be found. I guess this post would not have taken place yet if there was anything else significant remaining.......

Andy Cooper, I believe. Heavy Johnson also played with Charleston on the 24th Infantry squad.

Congrats Ryan! My first thought when I read Matt's post this morning was "I wonder if Ryan won it?"
