I liked the Mutrie the most, mainly because I'm used to seeing him in street clothes. It still went for more than I wanted to pay. The higher-end stuff had strong prices... In my opinion.

The N173 of Kelly was an unusually nice albumen image, in my opinion. I was the underbidder, and kind of regret not going a bit higher.

I thought the 1891 Joseph Hall Giants cabinet went high. It was also weird that they thought there would be argument over the missing '1' digit at the end of 1891. Perhaps they did that in order to make it seem unique, but Lew Lipset sold one of these a while back that had the entire '1891', and also almost an inch more of the top of the mount.

The other commons might have gone high because they were probably from one of the Ewings' estate.

I was able to pick up the McAleer cabinet for under the estimate. The photography on it looks just like the Just So cards to me. I will post more opinions about it when I get it.

I was the underbidder on the Pelicans team cabinet and the Pelicans Ewing. I did manage to get the "Anon" Pelican player card, I'm hoping to ID it and will post more about it later. It looks like Farmer Vaughn and Ed Cartright are on the team card as well as J Ewing and the anon player I got. Maybe the whole team card can be identified, as many n172 subjects played for the 1887 Pelicans.

That McAleer is outstanding. I bid on it, but really didn't have much to spend in this auction if I want to have a decent chance at anything in REA. I won the John Ewing New York Rembrandt. I would never have bid on it if I thought I could win the McAleer for that price, but couldn't afford both at the moment so had to settle for the one. Oh well--anyone here able to tell me whether Ewing is wearing a 1890 PL Giants uniform or a 1891 NL Giants uniform?

great pickups
Todd, love the Ewing cab

I thought it was interesting that the 1891 Jos. Hall N.Y. Giants cab used the same images in the composite as the individual Kensington art studio cabs. Did Jos. Hall buy the images from other studios to make their cabs similar to what Goodwin did to produce the n172-173 sets?
Sorry for the small size. Rusie is 2nd from the right top row
