Has anyone ever heard anything about all of those 19th century uniforms that were sold in the Halper sale? They all came from one guy, and it is not like he had tons of them, maybe 20, but every time this guy would find a uniform it was of a huge name.

He did not just have an 1890's Phillies jersey, but Ed Delahanty's jersey.

He did not just have a White Sox jersey, but Cap Ansons jersey.

Not just an Orioles jersey, but Wilbert Robinsons jersey.

Not just NY jerseys, but Ewing and Rusies jersey. etc. etc. etc.

I do not recall any Dad Clarke, or Brickyard Kennedy jerseys in the sale, or anyone like that, just big named hall of famers. Sounds similar to what is going on now with SCDA.

I always thought this was just way way way to much of a coincidence, and I think the final sale prices reflected that as well. How can any one person constantly be comming up with all these hall of fame jerseys and all they have is a little name sewn on the tail. The problem now is that eveything "Ex-Halper" is immediately taken for real.

Have any of these jerseys come up for resale since the sale? I dont think they have. Any thoughts?
