Morphy's Postcard Auction

[h2oya311]

Won three items, but had to bid ahead of the auction (couldn't do it live due to soccer game). I'll be curious to see the hammer on the Matty! I put a pretty aggressive bid on it (or so I think).

I got one that I found interesting and was underbidder on several. The one I won was a RPPC of a local team with the letters "F A G" across their chests. It amused me.

What does the "F A G" stand for? I collect the T210 Ft Worth players because the "F T W" on their chests amuse me.

$800-900, if memory serves.

I believe I was the underbidder on both the Cobb and Mathewson but did pick up lot 635 the 1908 St Louis Browns PC

The Matty, an Alexander and a few other lessers..... honestly, these will be for resale eventually. While I am chin deep in type collecting I don't see me going hog wild into postcards. I only consider that I have one now (the Cobb with favorite bat) as it goes with the Azora panel with the same pose. I don't see me starting to collect them very soon, if I ever decide to. Some of them are gorgeous though. I like the one you got at the National as much as almost any I have seen.

I stopped bidding at 1K on the Cobb (the juice was a factor) missed on that and won the Lajoie. There were some strong bids coming from the floor in this auction, lots if fun.
