There were some bargains in those signed programs. Especially, the Indianapolis and LA Stars programs. The Cincy Royals lot was quite nice also. All of the programs with the Washington Capitols, Providence Steamrollers and St Louis Bombers should have sold for more. The photo lots were good also. No bids on the Kentucky Colonels lots. The photo lot with Celtics players was okay, but it looks like a few of them were reprints. During the 1990's I collected original NBA team issue photos. I had well over 100 of Celtics players from 1946-1965 including multiple Russell and other HOFers and quite a few stars from other teams. No one was giving them any love so they were easy to acquire for $10 each or less.
