Default Barry Halper

The Sotheby's 3-books catalog is definitely a good purchase. Just consider that the auction included everything from the T206 Honus Wagner proof strip to Jim Thorpe & Buck Ewing game used jerseys to Ty Cobb's false teeth.

Sotheby's ranked Halper's collection as one of the finest and most extensive personal collections in American history, and they weren't comparing it to just sports collections but also collections of art, jewelry, historical artifacts, etc.
