Dr. Steen autograph pick ups!
wow! That was exciting! The prices on the m101-2's were pretty healthy overall. I had no idea what they were going to go for. Someone got a bargain on the Mordecai Brown. I am super ecstatic to add this. I think someone snoozed when I picked this up as the other Cub I went for (Orval Overall) went for twice as much.
Love watching that Hal Chase shoot up! schulte.jpg 36411661_2_x.jpg |

Thanks guys. It is easily my favorite of the Sporting News supplements. The signature just floors me. Not sure why it went for less than the Cy Young and half of the Cobb. The personalization maybe? To me, this collection will have become a rather famous one, so to me the personalization does not detratct at all from the piece.
For those who consider the supplements to be "cards", I suppose this may be the earliest signed Wagner " card" in existence. With the Archer, I was waffling on that last bid. The amazing look of the signature made me hit the button one last time. Tom C Last edited by btcarfagno; 05-16-2015 at 04:25 PM. |

I was really wanting the orval overall but I'm guessing whoever snoozed on the schulte went all out on it.

What did the Cobb itself go for?
That one intrigued me but I couldn't participate after Heritage. |

Cobb went for $7,750 + 19% BP.

M101-2s
I was really into this auction, but am a little disappointed as to how it all played out. The live auction format, with such a huge quantity of items I was interested in, was very hard to manage on a fixed budget. I would have loved to pick up one of the big guys that went for over $2,000 -- but not at the expense of just sitting on my hands while watching so many cool ones end so cheaply. As a general rule, I'll take all the signed M101-2s for $200 or less you can find! They're so sweet! What an amazing collection.
I managed to pull down 9 of them, and am super excited to own these. If anyone has buyer's remorse, please send them my way. I still have some of my budget left over for these!

Hey Mike, what did you get from Heritage? I was gonna go for a few things in there and REA but then I saw these signed beauties and had to shift my focus to these. Its funny that the M101-2 Cobb went for almost double what I bought my signed 1907 Dietsche for which makes me feel a little better for losing out on it.

I would have loved to nab that Chase but once it went past $1500 I had to let that dream go

I attended this auction. It was my first time at such an event. I was surprised that there were only 10 bidders at the venue.

I'm not an auto collector I went for the one unsigned Dean Brothers original photo. I won it and paid more than I had hoped to.

Does anybody have any information on who Doc Steen was, or where he lived, or anything? I'm just curious since I agree that this collection is so amazing, and now I happen to own a handful of them. Would like more info!

I can't figure out how to scan these with the size limits but I won the Babe Adams, George Gibson and Bobby Byrne. My focus is around the 1909 Pirates. Someone fought me on the Tommy Leach and I had to let it go which stunk but it went way higher than I thought it would.

For Paul and anyone else interested in some history on Dr. Steen. Google is a many splendored thing...
https://books.google.com/books?id=SB...0steen&f=false Dr. Steen was a dentist in Scottsbluff Nebraska. Please note this Hunt auction item circa 2008 (would be quite the companion piece to the Frank Baker M101-2 from this auction)... http://www.huntauctions.com/live/ima...=247&lot_qual= Tom C |

Cool early Bio on him. I wonder when he died?
|
#29
|

|

He was born in Wahoo Nebraska three years after Sam Crawford. I wonder if they knew one another.

Great stuff. These are the first autographs that I have seen of Wildfire Schulte and Jeff Tesreau.

WHOA!!! How did I miss this??? Where were these auctioned off?
I have been chasing the ghost of Clarence Steen for many years now. http://t.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=67267 I wondered where these supplements might be...I have a bunch of the letters that Steen sent off to players and received back either with autos on them or notes from the players giving the okay to send off the supplement.

Some of my letters...I have all of them in my safe deposit box so can't scan any of the others...I just found these old photos in a N54 search.

By his writing, apparently he wasn't such a jerk after all.

I'm guessing it wasn't unusual to call someone by their last name back in those days without using "Mr". Sam Crawford signed his photo "To my old friend Steen."

I would absolutely agree with Dan on this. I was thinking the same thing myself. After reading Dan's Dr. Steen's letter I was impressed by it being businesslike, but well worded and thoughtful FWIW...
