Ho Lee Chit. Wowzers. Most anything in that sale would become the centerpiece of my collection. Would love to get one of the Josh Gibson items. Merely wishful thinking...

I was able to view most of these items in person as they were being prepped for auction and it is one of the greatest assemblages of items ever to be offered for sale!

It's best not to use the wording 'prepped for auction.' That's what got Doug Allen in trouble.

Isn't the Connor pay voucher supposed to have been stolen from the archives of the Baseball Hall Of Fame? Allegedly? I believe it originated from a Lipset auction in the late 1980's or early 1990's, but that it plus ones from O'Rourke, Ewing, etc were among items that had been donated to the Hall in 1970??

Yes , you are correct . Donated to the HOF and then stolen. An interesting story about one of them....and not the Connor.
In fact the Connor was auctioned by Heritage a short while ago.
But there is some controversy if this is Connor"s signature or not . Check out the Connor in Ron's book and then compare . Again I have a story about the Connor on the voucher and in the book.
