Well it was an interesting night to say the least.
This was the first auction in which I have participated in a significant way. I have bid on a single auction house item twice, but this time was it was overload. My first impressions are that staying up till 3AM waiting for an auction to end and then going to bed not knowing if I was going to win anything Sucks! That being said, I understand why and don't want to debate the pros and cons of different auction styles in this thread. The auction seemed well run and in the end I am glad I participated. When I went to bed I was winning 4 items. Much to my surprise, when I woke, I had won them all. I had a certain amount budgeted, which I stuck to and was able to come away with a few nice photos. 1928 WS action. I know they don't seem to garner the attention or big money, but I like action shots. 1928 Spring Training Swinging. I have a couple of others from ST of that year. It could be the same photographer on the same day as they have a very similar feel to them. 1928 Spring Training taking a picture of Art Fletcher. Same story as above. My others from possibly the same day.   Last, but not least 1925 April Spring Training prior to his first year in the bigs.

Thanks Billy.
I forgot to mention congrats to Rhys on the first of hopefully, many auctions. Between you and Henry, I have the opportunity to stay broke for quite a while. David, I love that Ott photo. If my budget had been bigger, I definitely would have been in on the bidding on that one as well. He was my dad's favorite player and every once in a while I pick up something Mel, kind of, in his memory. Congrats on a great pick up. Scott, Why did you take down Ruth and Hoppe? Both great photos. Congrats Greg, Wonderful Matty. Ben, Nice couple of pics for you. Kind of surprised, I figured you'd be all over the Jackson and at least one or two of the Ruths. Koufax had huge hands. Bob, Great selection of pick ups. I'm guessing you are a big Dodgers fan. Eric, That Brown photo was one of my favorites in the auction. Not in my collecting wheelhouse, but really spectacular. Scott G, Very nice Ruether. Congrats to everyone else. Some great photo pickups.

I loved the content of the inaugural RMY auction...not sure if Rhys will be able to top it as far as HOF rookie photos go though! I wish some of these items had been spread out over a few months...there was so much I wanted to bid on but couldn't as a result of limited funds.
Regardless, I picked up two items, the Ruppert Cabinet Photo and the 1939ish Barlick photo. I was the under-bidder on the Landis photo. I'm super stoked though that I was able to get my #1 priority item from this auction - the 1901 Ruppert Cabinet, which pre-dated my current Ruppert "rookie" photo by 22 years:
