It is my opinion that it is unlikely a bidder specifically came to Henry's auction, or ebay for that matter, looking for a picture of Jim Thorpe wearing a tribal headdress, a baseball pen/pencil set of Roger Maris, or many of the similar items which he routinely sells above market value. I think most of those are sold for more because he gets high end buyers who find impulse buys. Also there are the buyers who lost out on what they came for and figured they have extra money they were going to spend anyway, and they find something else.

I am curious as to what search terms Mike used to find his bat pen and pencil set. Was he searching specifically for that item or a general search?
Best,
Mark

Ben,
Incredible photo. Congrats!
Good point, Mark... the general search words won't always pull up a unique listing (like perhaps that Pen and Pencil set). For the stuff I collect, search words like "Antique" "Vintage" "Old" and "Early" paired with "Baseball" turn up the vast majority of items I like to bid on. But every now and then, a nice/unique item can sneak by under the radar.

I collect early pennants, so my best search words are "pennant", "flag", "banner", and even the mis-spelled "penant" (which has surprisingly turned up several gems over the years). If you search by "highest price first" and "auction only format", you'll weed most of the cheap crap and the Buy it Now Ripoffs.

Those are just some helpful hints (resulting from a decade of ebay frustration and futility).

Ben - That photo of young Babe is razor-sharp and just so intriguing... many congrats!

Default On a roll. WOO HOO!

A couple more Lou's at decent prices.

Lou with Dizzy Dean running.


Lou with his physician at a Rangers game. As a family doc and Rangers fan, it really appeals to me.

Mark,
This is exactly what myself and others are pointing out.
There are many of us hard core crazies, who search ebay daily for that hidden gem or steal of a deal before someone else gets it. I think a lot of Henry's buyers are likely people who have no desire to put in the time and energy, you and many others on this board have, to learn the best search words or any other tricks. They'll come when they known a whole bunch of either rare or high condition, sometimes both, items are up and bid big.

Did you get anything?

Best,
Mark
