Wow! What a great piece that is!

It's got Traynor, but it's also got Big Klu, Jimmie Dykes, Dick Groat, Roy Face, Bob Friend and a bunch of others.

Very, very cool.

I can't imagine what it would go for, but I'd love to have it in the next auction. I'm pretty aggressively seeking memorabilia lots for the next auction - I have a bunch already, but I really want memorabilia to be a strong suit for LOTG.

Sometimes things like this take off. Traynor isn't a particularly tough autograph, as far as I know, but the pencil auto at the top could be erased, which would make it possible for someone to create a cut signature out of the Traynor. Obviously, a Pirates fan might be interested in chasing it as well, since it documents a piece of Pirates history. In the description, I'd really play up that angle as best I could (check out some of the descriptions in our current auction to get an idea of how I've been doing that).

I think the way to go with something like this would be to start the bidding at $100 or so (maybe even lower), and really focus on the attractiveness of the piece and the historical significance of it. It's always tough to put a finger on final value for something like this, but I'd guess somewhere between $150-250.

Let me know what you think!
