The AntiquesRoadshow Boston Red Stockings appraisal airs...

Were any of the Mort Rogers featured previously uncatalogued? I don't remember seeing a Spalding or either of the Wrights come up for auction in the past.

In a previous thread, there was mention of a Warren Studios CDV (or Cabinet) of Spalding in the collection. Do you know if there was truth to this? I didn't get a good look at the photo next to the team Cabinet.

Derek, there did appear to be a Warren Spalding cdv.

Adam,
An example of each of the Mort Rogers scorecards was auctioned in 2000 by REA. In that auction there also were eleven different Boston players. It appears that the Boston Mort Rogers checklist may be complete at eleven players.

I haven't been here for a while, but I kinda knew a few people would take their shots at this segment. Makes me sad that people have to piss on stuff like this. It's a great find, why can't it just be enjoyed?

The people you say took shots at the segment also noted how cool the items were. The story got some heavy circulation tonight and it was due to the price, not the items. If these pieces did go up for auction and someone considered investing in them, wouldn't it be nice for them to know what the actual value is? As it stands without knowing any better, someone could see a "million dollar collection" going for only 20% what the tv said it was worth and think they are getting the steal of the century.

I honestly don't think one person here would say it's no big deal, but at the same time everyone now gets a lesson in what they are and their value.

We are all enjoying it. I know I am. I just think the lot is overvalued. Doesn't detract from my enjoyment though.

Thanks for the info, Gary.
