A couple of years ago, Mastro sold two lots of almost 200 Negro League signed baseballs each. These weren't the guys you see regularly, this collection was put together in the 80's. No Jackies or Paiges, but for someone who likes the obscure, these were a gold mine. Because $$ was tight, I only bid to win one. I kept about 30 for my collection, including the best ones, and sold the rest for about 5 times what I paid! I still tear up thinking how I let the other lot get away.

Sidenote: About a year ago I found out the other winner was Geddy Lee, and he donated those to the NL museum in KC.
