Loved this Smokey Joe Wood cabinet but got blown out of the water. What did you get so far?

Shut out thus far, but I went hard on that lemon peel ball found at Shiloh. What an amazing piece! Congrats to the winner!

Congrats McD. Must feel nice to have finally landed it.

I lost out on a few of the Negro Leagues contracts; many of the contracts seemed a bit undervalued.

Agreed. I think in some cases it wasn't immediately obvious that the listings were for more than 1 item. I just realized now (after the fact) that the Willard Brown listing was for 2 contracts and Leon Day was for 3. (I probably should have picked up on it when I bid on the Pedro Cepeda's, but somehow didn't.

I don't know if others may have similarly overlooked them.

This very same Horner Wood sans NE corner was auctioned by Mastro in 2007. I was the underbidder. Always regretted not going harder and was pleased to get another shot at it. I don't think one can look up Mastro "prices realized" anywhere but I recall it went for a lot more in 2007. Thank you, Ben, for helping to make that so by letting the clock run out. I had a max bid placed that I really didn't want to fall back on.

Having trouble loading a picture of the contracts, but think I did ok on the passport and very well on the contracts.

Thanks! The feeling I'm getting today is that barring something changing, it doesn't sound like they are expecting to many new Negro League additions to the HOF, but it would be cool obviously.

Here is a picture of one of the contracts

Amazing wins, guys! Congrats!

[btcarfagno]

I was able to get several, but only expect to hold onto one:

The circa 1910 Art Devlin/Harry Lord/Bill Carrigan letters:








The 1901 Pirates contract signed by Harry Pulliam:






The Ray Dandridge Cuban League contract:






And a new centerpiece to my collection, the Lizzie Arlington (Stride) signed contract (also with super early Ed Barrow):
