Leland's Miracle Auction

[bcbgcbrcb]

I was the high bidder on the '37 Ciudad Trujillo photo until approximately 4:15am when I was outbid and didn't have the funds to go any higher. A big disappointment indeed, if only the auction had closed an hour earlier than the actual 5:15am closing time.... I think the winner still got a pretty good deal, congrats to them.

I was lucky enough to pick up the '35 Negro League broadside picturing six team composite photos from that season. This is the second one of these that I have owned, the previous one I stupidly cut up into six pieces so that I could have Beckett encapsulate them for my BB HOF RC collection at the time. You can rest assured that I won't be doing that again this time around.....

Nice to have my first auction pick-up in nearly a year under my belt.

Got beat on everything in the middle of the night.

If anyone wants to sell any of the signed baseballs from the Jim Armstrong collections or one of Gaylord Perry's win baseballs, let me know.

Matt - Absolutely agree with you on big leather Dimaggio glove chair. I've already got one but was back up bidder on this one because of the bargain. Im okay that I didnt win it because I really didnt need two. These things are rather large.


Mark - I wondered if the Cobb decal bat could be a gamer although didnt find the link you provided. It matches but since Lelands didnt provide this bat's weight this possibly provided substantial doubt among bidders??

I doubt Cobb used a 33.5 inch bat. But surprised they didn't described that lot or add more photos to it.

Cobb is what I was after . It's not a gamer. People need to get realistic on that. All hillerich and sons were hand turned . It's doesn't match his specs . I've seen that bat from 32" to 38" . I wanted it cause it was nicer than most . It will resurface as a pro model and someone will pay more - no doubt about it .

Since this thread has turned more into a Lelands"close but no cigar" thread I'll add in I was out bid on a team ball with Clemente on the sweet spot. Been trying to add a Clemente ball to my collection for a while but either can't find one within my budget or.... Well that's about the only reason I guess.
Congrats to all the actual winners.
