Yes indeed. It's been a crazy month for tough Hall of Fame rookies. The total combined population (never mind graded) of Ott Leader Novelty and Collins W600 could be in the single digits.

I was surprised at that price.

Johnny- you ever go to Club XS back in the day? was fun!

I came away with the t204 Keeler. Not exactly a common to help out my set, but I thought $390 was a pretty good price for a big-name HOFer...

Reminds me of my time living in Southern Cal.....we would party until we dropped, get up the next morning with cold pizza (in hand) and warm beer and start over again.

Getting back to the auction, I thought the Cobb Old Put did quite well too....

I thought the E94 Wagner with the stamp on the back went for a bargain price. When I saw the auction still going in the morning, I hemmed and hawed for a few minutes about bidding. By the time I decided to bid, the auction ended at 8 AM. My loss, and someone else's great price on the card.

Phil,
I had bids in on the Collins,Brown,Gehrig,Lajoie,Sisler,Plank,Johnson + Speaker but ended up winning the Lajoie Sport Supp. and Johnson Nov. Cut. at what I feel were half what they should have gone for. The Lajoie was #1 on my list as I rarely see that piece and the fact that he is listed as an A, makes it that much more attractive to me (I'm an A's fan). There are only a handful of HOFers who were rookies as A's but were then quickly moved to other teams of which they are famously more known for. The only other HOFers that I can think of that had rookies pictured as A's are Cap Anson, Joe Jackson, George Kell + Nellie Fox.

Great pick-ups, Dan, congrats. Interesting info on the A's.............

It's the only one known & for sure unique/rare. Cobb's rarest card & a beauty.
