I remember that auction
I didn't bid or attend but I remember that auction...As I recall I learned about it by a print ad in some antiques journal or maybe SCD...This was before the internet was prevalent...it seems like there was also memorabilia other than books...I recall a friend who was well connected then said as much, that all the advanced collectors were heading for Detroit...and everbody that was anybody knew about it...It was important enough that I always knew who Dumouchelle auctions was after that...If you could post some photos of the catalog that would be great!

Carleton, the descriptions and photos are not great, there is a small photo of a baseball player and a football player statues that you might be interested in. I will send a scan to you if you pm me your email, sorry I do not have my own scanner and use a local library.

I have a copy of the auction catalogue (such as it was) and a price realized list. It's buried somewhere , but send me an email at baseballart@gmail.com and I'll pdf you a copy when I dig it out.
As I recall, aside from the signed items, many of the books would be selling for less today then they did in 1991. Oh, the humanity of it all. M

Carlton
Yes, eBay is one factor,probably the main one, books that some thoughtswere rare show up with frequency, some booksellers on sites like www.abebooks.com have had books for sale for fifteen years at outrageous prices, There is also the factor of fewer collectors of baseball books.
