[QUOTE=Kzoo;941610]Hey Dave, I didn't know you were on the forum!! As Dave noted, I was the
other bidder on the Gehrig page and the one that picked up the Who's Who books with the autographs noted above plus Ki Ki Cuyler, Mule Haas, Floyd Young, Bill Brubaker, Gus Suhr, Tommy Padden, Johnny Dickshot, Goodwin Rosen, Van Mungo, T. Brack, and John Hudson.....plus a separate signed envelope by Casey Stengel in 1958. Not to be too critical of Dave's description, but I was also fortunate enough to pick up the Stengel signature in that auction sales total, as well
. So, it was a bittersweet auction for me after the disappointment of coming in second on the Gehrig page as it was VERY poorly advertised in the auction listing and I was hoping (for all 5 days prior to the sale) that it could be bought for peanuts (next time you travel to Michigan, Dave, please call for permission first
)......however, after meeting Dave after the sale, it didn't sting as bad after realizing he was a good guy and not a bit arrogant or cocky......and I was relieved nobody else bothered to flip through the Who's Who books!!
Boy Matt, this is really a nice haul- especially for the price!!!
Congrats on your pickup-very nice!
