Closing Tonight - Love of the Game Spring Premier Auction

[Al C.risafulli]

Hi Everyone:

Hope all is well.

Just a quick note of reminder that tonight is the closing night of LOTG's Spring Premier Auction. Extended bidding begins at 9pm eastern, with Double OT beginning at 1am. Any item not receiving a bid between midnight and 1 will close at 1 (assuming the 15 minute rule hasn't closed the auction by then, which is possible).

I do want to point out that our typical auction has around 1,000 lots, but this one has just over 500. That may result in an earlier close than usual, since there will be fewer bids, so if your plan is to wait til late to bid, I'd advise keeping an eye on the auction during extended bidding.

Lots of great prewar cards and memorabilia in this auction, including a couple of rare N173 cabs - Wilbert Robinson, (often considered his rookie card) and Hoss Radbourn (the classic "Obscene Gesture" pose), along with N173s of Ewing/Mascot, Dan Brouthers, and Charles Comiskey.

We've also got a nice run of 1907/08 Dietsche Postcard Tigers including both the Ty Cobb Fielding and Batting poses. There's a great Lou Gehrig rookie, all four Goudey Ruths, all four T206 Cobbs, and plenty of additional great stuff for prewar collectors.

There's also a gorgeous painting of Branch Rickey by Net54 regular Graig Kreindler.

Thanks, and have a great weekend!

As modern falls...vintage continues strong...as most of us suspected would happen...people aren't selling!

Great auction as usual.

Sold two right before the run up, dumb. That said, still undervalued relatively speaking in my opinion.

Agreed! I think most of us have been in the hobby long enough to have sold plenty of things long before their time! Still Kicking Myself for having sold my Bowman mantle rookie way too early!!
