Ending Tonight!! (5/31/2014) Open For Bidding - Love of the Game Auctions
Hi Everyone:
Just a quick note to let you all know that the Love of the Game Spring, 2014 auction is live and open for bidding. The closing date is Saturday, May 31. This is the biggest and best LOTG auction yet. There are great cards and memorabilia items scattered throughout the auction, but some of the key items that might interest you: The fastest baseballs ever thrown - record-breaking fastballs thrown in 1946 by Bob Feller and in 1974 by Nolan Ryan. In my opinion, even though the LOTG auctions lean heavily prewar, this is the coolest item I've ever offered. 1914 Cracker Jack Christy Mathewson, SGC VG 40 1928 Ticket Stub from Ty Cobb's Final Game Super scarce 1924-25 Aguilitas Segundas "Pop" Lloyd - SGC VG 40 A fantastic group of 44 T206 Hall of Famers, all graded SGC VG 40 A stunning JKA cabinet of Zach Wheat A host of great tickets, season passes and memorabilia More T206s than we've ever had before, including high-grade examples, HOFers, tough backs, print anomalies Lots of Old Judges, tough postcards, cabinet photos, Ramlys, Colgan's Red Borders, E cards, and more A nice run of complete sets and near sets from 1952 through 1962 Tons of autographs, including plenty of prewar Hall of Famers Thanks, and good luck bidding!

Lot #79 currently has the wrong picture (Gilmore instead of Long) and lot #320 is a 1915 CJ, not 1914, of Austin.
I've placed around 30 bids so far, very nice auction! Rob |

Al's description of Lot #1 has to be one of the best I have ever seen lending credence to the provenance of the balls and providing the technical education as well, with references. Using the current speed gun and seeing Nolan Ryan hit 108 mph in the 8th inning must have been awesome (except for the batter).
I stopped reading to write this note. Now I am ready to move on to Lot #2.

Maybe Al will give us a free LOTG T-shirt - Honus on the front and Mick on the back?

What does "Bi-war" mean? Seriously, I just started seriously collecting in Jan. and have not heard this term.

LOL, that would be correct. The term just came to me as I was typing. Do I get a T-shirt for it?

In an attempt to put you out of your misery - and make up for my gaff - I placed the opening shot across the bow. I was firm at 75.00 but it's been a good month and I can't see you having to take it back home.......

The correct term is total war. Bidding on more than 20 lots is carpet bombing, and placing a top all bids on more than ten lots is fire bombing.
Yes, I just made up all these terms. But now that they're written down you have to use them. (c) 2014. All rights reserved. |

Bi-war, trans-war and questioning-war........education is the key!
Henry......love your avatar photo....that's when you worked at Fridays with all your flair.....right? Als descriptions are great. Hard to write something that's good that skirts the hounds of the puffery that we get so much of now...... Last edited by autograf; 05-14-2014 at 04:39 AM. |

Henry...you are the man! Thanks for throwing me a BONE! I can't wait to see it at your table at future nationals for multiples of the price!!!!!

I rarely set up at the national
and at this point don't imagine I'll be going to the national for at least a few years as I just don't find anything there - only pressing the flesh and that's not enough - but I forget after a while. As for the piece - I imagine I'll try and sell it for SEVENTY-FIVE dollars if I can ever find a replacement in better condition - I'll just figure in the loss as an expense to get a better copy. IMHO I figure someone should want it at 50.00. I collect Ginter - rare I would sell something like that without another copy - the damage not withstanding..... BION I'm hoping to be outbid as I usually prefer to get something I don't need to upgrade :-)

ID my avitar - win prizes
and I will send you 5 lower grade mixed non-sport cards and an 1860's CDV or two..........
I've never been to Friday's but I have seen the festooned workers at the Hardrock sporting some. |

I take it the auction has ended, as the website kicked me off and appears to have crashed for the last 10 minutes or so...
