3X5s of Mickey Welch, Deacon White, Vic Wilis, and Jimmy Collins. There's your $50K, if not more. Gorgeous 3X5 examples of Ruth, Johnson, Bresnahan...
We have yet to be provided with the promised spreadsheet, but I'm sure it's a sight to behold. Of course, whoever is in charge of choosing the photos for group lots at that AH is permanently out to lunch. It's a world class collection, but hey, let's show scans of Bud Selig, Doug Harvey and Pat Gillick 3X5s! I'll never complain; that person's stellar photo choices has put food on my table for many years.
It's pretty obvious that the choice to sell it as one offering was that of the consignor's. I'm sure the AH tried to dissuade the idea.
