Well it was an interesting night to say the least.
This was the first auction in which I have participated in a significant way. I have bid on a single auction house item twice, but this time was it was overload.
My first impressions are that staying up till 3AM waiting for an auction to end and then going to bed not knowing if I was going to win anything Sucks! That being said, I understand why and don't want to debate the pros and cons of different auction styles in this thread. The auction seemed well run and in the end I am glad I participated.

When I went to bed I was winning 4 items. Much to my surprise, when I woke, I had won them all. I had a certain amount budgeted, which I stuck to and was able to come away with a few nice photos.

1928 WS action. I know they don't seem to garner the attention or big money, but I like action shots.



1928 Spring Training Swinging. I have a couple of others from ST of that year. It could be the same photographer on the same day as they have a very similar feel to them.



1928 Spring Training taking a picture of Art Fletcher. Same story as above.



My others from possibly the same day.




Last, but not least
1925 April Spring Training prior to his first year in the bigs.
