Christies is always a crap shoot. The people there who manage these auctions honestly don't know much about collecting baseball stuff. Sometimes they talk something up that is not so great; sometimes they flat out misdescribe items that are far more important than what's advertised, and other times they just botch it up completely and don't even attempt to adequate describe the lot.
I remember last year there were photos that were in original cabinets that were not even photographed.
I bought a lot of 50 Conlons today. I hope there are a few surprises hiding in there to.
Nice catch.
