Closing Tonight - Love of the Game Spring Premier Auction
Hi All:
Hope everyone is doing well. Just a reminder that the Love of the Game Spring Auction is closing tonight. Extended bidding begins at 9pm EDT, and the Double OT begins at 1AM. Lots of great items included in this auction, but I did want to draw people's attention to the outstanding signed Exhibit cards we are offering, as it seems like there are still a lot of affordable but scarce ones there. I do love those beautiful old fountain pen signatures! Also, we've got a 520-card T206 set and a nearly complete T205 Master Set in this one, along with several other great prewar sets. And of course, we're fully-loaded with prewar HOFers and memorabilia. If you've got some time, please do check it out: https://bid.loveofthegameauctions.com/Lots/Gallery Thanks, and good luck to all who are bidding or consigning. Best, -Al |
very nice auction and way to many great items
Good luck with the auction and good luck to all us bidders and our wallets:D |
Al Crisafulli and his fantastic auction offerings are the reason I haven't remodeled my kitchen yet.

I encourage everyone in the Net54 community to consider a kitchen renovation before our Summer, 2022 Premier Auction. :)

I was fortunate enough to add these two e92 Dockmans to my collection. I understand this is a small set and doesn't carry the same cache' as some other sets of this period but man, they are not easy to find in decent condition as the hobby may think.
Congrats to everyone who was able to add to their collections! |
I managed to hang on and win three of the four lots I wanted the most, so it was a good night/morning.:)

[The foregoing comment will be incomprehensible to many but Al will get it. Harkens back to a mystery from an old LOTG auction]. Terrific Bugs Raymond photo, Ben. Had my eye on it. Encapsulates the excellence and the tragedy of that tortured man. |

Yeah, I managed to snag the Conlon photos of Red Kleinow and Harry Krause, plus the 1937 signed photo of Lloyd Waner. |
Great stuff, guys!
|
Super auction, Al. I only managed to snare one of the many snazzy Eddie Collins items, but I really enjoyed this one.
|
Great auction again, Al.
|
the gehrig and Ruths exhibits did well.
|
The E93 Cobb PSA 2 fetched a strong price as well.
|
So, where's my stuff? :D
|
One of my bids held up 'til the end! :)
Picked up a T206 HOFer for (in my opinion) a reasonable price. |

Managed to snag a trifecta of the 3 Eddie Collins T213 Coupon cards. Happy.
|
Picked up a Goudey Ott and an e121 Speaker. An e121 Hornsby went beyond my means though. Great auction.

PC Backs: --Cobb SGC 5.5 $4,500 --Foxx (RC) PSA 2 $5,100 --Johnson SGC 4 $1,560; red tint SGC 3 $1,560 --Hornsby SGC 5 $900, SGC 4 $570 --Waner SGC 6 $1,140 --4 on 1 w/Vance and O'Doul raw and lower grade $900 1921 Collins PSA 5 $390 1921 Johnson SGC 5 $1,920 1922 Eastern Exhibits: PSA 5: --Johnson $2,280 --Cobb $3,300 --Alexander $1200 --Heilmann $510 PSA 5.5 --Speaker $480 --Collins $390 PSA 6 --Hornsby $2,160 1925 Johnson PSA 4 $1,800 1925 Speaker PSA 6 $960 1927 --Johnson PSA 4 $960 --Collins PSA 5.5 $600 --Speaker PSA 3.5 $510 1929-30 4-on-1 Ruth/Gehrig SGC 5 $10,200 Basically, any Cobb is now a four-figure card and Johnson is getting there. The other strong HOFers have been creeping up as well. I'd like to see what some of the other RCs and scarcer cards go for in this market. On the postwar side, the Jackie Robinson thing continues with an SGC 5 getting $660. Robinson was a $50-$75 card several years ago. |
Many of the big name 1920's Exhibits have pops of less than 20 in all grades. And when you get to the mid-grades EX ish and up, the pops are miniscule. Good to see strong prices.

Another great auction Al as I manged to grab 2 E136 Home Run Kisses and a D310 and get close to completing both sets.

Noticed that as well which should only drive prices higher. In the big picture of things the Ruth and Gehrig are very hard to find and are top tier early cards Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Exhibits
I picked up a number of these. Most excited with the Eastern Exhibit Hornsby though I know I overpaid a bit. Excited to finally pick up a 1921 Johnson ... love the registration of the front photo ... though I always forget that with SGC critical to check the back. In this case looks like I missed a MK. Oh well.
Anyway, given the low pops, the quality of photography, and lack of mainstream mid to late 20s issues I see a lot of upside. I just hope the broader move waits until I complete my eastern exhibits set :-) |
Anyone know the PayPal address for LOTG? Thanks!!!
