This stuff has been way overvalued (at a $600 per piece opening bid) by the seller, methinks. When Hunt Auctions ran their DiMaggio "estate" auction last year, far more interesting handwritten pieces were going for less money. Some of them were even autographed and most of the diary pieces seemingly are not. AND the market would now be flooded.

Were the diaries interesting, they might have some value to a publisher, but, of course, the pages are quite pedestrian.

No, I think these are being floated out there looking for a sucker, that is, a re-seller who thinks big money could be made by selling piecemeal. But why wouldn't Steiner do this? Isn't this what they do?
