Default Goodwin auction

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

Well I was happy with it, got the one lot I was after.

Many of the lots came from the estate of a really great collector who grew up as a kid in Lexington, Kentucky. He sounded crusty, was funny as could be, really knew the old stuff. He used to buy T206s in auctions for a few cents each, when they were advertised as "a lot of 14 T206 Cubs cards", and there was a fairly good chance there'd be some HOFers in there. I was glad to see decent prices for his family.

Was surprised that lot #15, the Joe Jackson Sporting News Supplement went for as little as it did, $1100 without juice.

Mr. Goodwin tries to get good stuff, attempts to line up interest in the items prior to the auction, and is a genuinely good fellow. I like his auctions.
