Thanks for posting the picture, Carlton! I would have attempted it if I wasn't so technically challenged... probably would have corrupted the thread.

Here is my take on the prices of these figurals (just a humble opinion...) There is still a pretty limited number of collectors for these premium figurals. But those who are interested are now willing to fork over more money.

I bet the Lelands piece came down to just two guys who really wanted it. I was watching it closely, and it stayed stagnant (around $600) until about 1:00 AM on the closing night. I went to bed, and was very surprised to see the final price the next morning.

It will be interesting to see how the Spalding Catcher Trophy does in Lelands' current auction. This very one has surfaced at least twice before, and has a pretty severe gouge on the Ball portion.
