REA pickups

[earlywynnfan]

I lost the Early Wynn 1952 contract, but at least I can smile about what I paid for his 1953 contract.

Can anyone tell me why the Wynn contract (with Greenberg) sold for $1200, while the Enos Slaugter from essentially the same era, signed by Saigh and Frick, sold for $7500?? Neither are high-end HOFers.

Well I gave the joe Jackson conlon a run as the underbidder but just couldn't go any higher. Although disappointed, there will be many other photos to be had for 36k with juice i probaby could have bid to 50 and lost.. Seemed like winner had no ceiling. Oh well...I did pickup this killer Jim Morrison check. Most say jmorrison so I thought it was special and always wanted one. I figured, I stayed up till 3:00 am.. Better buy something. Another victim to auction emotion.. Haha http://bid.robertedwardauctions.com/...x?itemid=23125

That's a great Morrison piece, Ben. You just need to rip out that common color print and frame it with your killer B&W photo of Morrison, that was taken by Ken Regan while The Doors were preforming live at Bill Graham's Manhattan venue, "Fillmore East" AKA "The Church of Rock and Roll" - way, way back in 1968!

I'd like to find a nice Morrison someday to go with this iconic image of "The Lizard King"...

Thank you jimmy and Scott. Jimmy.. That is EXACTLY what I was thinking.. It will look killer! You need one for that photo I think

I was hoping that the lot of 75 scorecards from the Keith Sutton collection wouldn't go quite so high, in which case I would have won it. Oh well.

Happy to add a scored scorecard from Willie Mays' first career HR to my collection. The proof ticket from that game and the stub from his last career HR will probably hit the BST once I receive them.

It always amazes me h ow people have the means and don't mind paying RIDICULOUS prices for some of that stuff. But hey, must be a status symbol too, in addition to the fact, that yes, its the best stuff of the year.

Nice pickup, Ben! I looked at that lot while I was flipping through the catalog.
Congrats!
