Hi All:
I hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving.
The perfect way to end Thanksgiving weekend is with Love of the Game's fall auction, which closes tonight. Extended bidding begins at 9:00 PM (Eastern), with the double overtime session beginning at 1am. Assuming that the 15 minute rule keeps the auction open past midnight, any item that does not receive a bid between midnight and 1am will close at 1, with the remaining items remaining open under the 15 minute rule.
Lots of items in the auction that would appeal to prewar collectors. A few of note:
Lot #1: 1907 Detroit Tigers Spring Training Cabinet Photo - one of the earliest photos of Ty Cobb in a major league uniform
Lot #2: 1910-11 T3 Turkey Red #9 Ty Cobb with the tough "No Offer" reverse
Lot #7: 1895 N566 Newsboy Cabinet John Ward - the tougher "Arms Folded" pose, SGC VG/EX 4
Lot #8: Beautiful 1911 JKA Cabiniet "Three Finger" Brown
There are lots of other great cards and memorabilia, including nice collection of Collins-McCarthy and Boston Store cards, a nice selection of T206, 1915 Cracker Jacks, and some great prewar memorabilia as well.

Good luck to anyone bidding, and thanks to all who consigned!
Best,
