I’ve been away from these boards for a while and was going through some of what I missed. I don’t have any skin in the game on this offering from Hake’s, but I used to do team postcards and such of HOFers to get the earliest of each. There are some ridiculously rare cards in this auction of some obscure negro league HOFers. Holy cow! Good luck with the sale.

The auction begins closing TUESDAY JUNE 29TH at 9:00 pm ET.

This one's going to be a barn-burner!

I thought I was going to sneak two items through $25k later….

Wow! Negro League collecting is serious business.

Amazing stuff in that auction. Makes one want to start collecting pins

Made a play for the 1926 St. Louis Stars RPPC (with Bell, Suttles, & Wells). But quickly got buried! Strong prices.

Yes, for pin guys, lots to drool over there. Many of those will never be seen again, or rarely, and the prices reflected that.
