Leland Giants Postcard- Hake Auction

[Exhibitman]

Yeah, all between 2:00 and 2:43 a.m.

Did he call your brother a retard too?

You really have to search wide and far to find a pencil-necked comptroller who is willing to go the extra yard when it comes to debt collection. I mean, who would have thought that Bill Mastro would have a comptroller who uses threats and abusive language in an attempt to get what he wants? I'm sure the orphans aren't spoken to like that.

I'm soooo ticked off that I didn't know about this auction! Never heard of it before. The price that surprises me is the LOW $$$ amount that the 1926 St. Louis Stars postcard sold for. Three - count 'em - THREE "impossible" HOFers: Mule Suttles, Willie Wells, and Cool Papa Bell! All on probably, their earliest card! And the final price: Just over $1600! Hell, I'da gone at least double that!!! maybe more... Someone out there wanna make a tidy lil profit?

I missed the Hake auction too. I've bought things from them before, both at auction and for sale items. You think they would have added me to their email list.

A number of items went very cheap.

Ken - there was another one of the same PC that sold on eBay a few months back for even less then that if I recall correctly.

Yeah, and I know who got that one. (A fellow board member). Just haven't been paying very close attention lately. My bad...
