Ending Tonight!! (5/31/2014) Open For Bidding - Love of the Game Auctions

[Al C.risafulli]

Hi Everyone:

Just a quick note to let you all know that the Love of the Game Spring, 2014 auction is live and open for bidding. The closing date is Saturday, May 31.

This is the biggest and best LOTG auction yet. There are great cards and memorabilia items scattered throughout the auction, but some of the key items that might interest you:

• The fastest baseballs ever thrown - record-breaking fastballs thrown in 1946 by Bob Feller and in 1974 by Nolan Ryan. In my opinion, even though the LOTG auctions lean heavily prewar, this is the coolest item I've ever offered.

• 1914 Cracker Jack Christy Mathewson, SGC VG 40

• 1928 Ticket Stub from Ty Cobb's Final Game

• Super scarce 1924-25 Aguilitas Segundas "Pop" Lloyd - SGC VG 40

• A fantastic group of 44 T206 Hall of Famers, all graded SGC VG 40

• A stunning JKA cabinet of Zach Wheat

• A host of great tickets, season passes and memorabilia

• More T206s than we've ever had before, including high-grade examples, HOFers, tough backs, print anomalies

• Lots of Old Judges, tough postcards, cabinet photos, Ramlys, Colgan's Red Borders, E cards, and more

• A nice run of complete sets and near sets from 1952 through 1962

• Tons of autographs, including plenty of prewar Hall of Famers

I'm really proud of this one, and so I'm hoping everyone will take some time and take a look. If you're not registered to bid, feel free to complete a registration, and as soon as I'm back in the office today, I'll get you approved.

Thanks, and good luck bidding!

Al,
Love of the Game Auctions

Lot #79 currently has the wrong picture (Gilmore instead of Long) and lot #320 is a 1915 CJ, not 1914, of Austin.

I've placed around 30 bids so far, very nice auction!

Al's description of Lot #1 has to be one of the best I have ever seen lending credence to the provenance of the balls and providing the technical education as well, with references. Using the current speed gun and seeing Nolan Ryan hit 108 mph in the 8th inning must have been awesome (except for the batter).

I stopped reading to write this note. Now I am ready to move on to Lot #2.

I enjoyed this as well, pretty cool stuff there.

Some great, and in some cases obscure stuff. Great auction, Al.

Cheers,

Daryl, sorry you didn't get the Lajoie. I promise it wasn't me, but I did get the other e105.

It's alright - I should've stayed awake! Nice pickup DJ, I used to own that one a while back, congrats!

After a few months of not buying. I have finally jumped back in. I picked up two of the SLs.
