As already noted the reserves were nuts. The one Ruth photo from his Red Sox days had a reserve of $1,000-$1,500. Did the person who set this have a clue?

And That would have went for double(minimum) if it was not torn in half originally and repaired.

That Pittsburgh litho is top notch - the colors seem to have a glow about them. Bravo!

Default Reserves
I dont believe the estimates were the reserves. I was at day one and the auctioneer would take the bids and for example lot 1 reached a price of $5,000 but was a no sell. The reserves were secret so you never knew what it was.

As a side note, some of the Horner photos were a steal, many came with the original cabinets and were not disclosed. They only took photos of the photo portion and not the cabinet

Omg.. I had no idea. I wish I knew that. Crazy. Why would they do that?
I guess.. Same answer to "why not showing borders or backs". Damn..

Same reason that they sold multiples cards in one lot (old judges etc.) but only showed one card in the lot.

It was really fun and very smooth. Very few mistakes by the auctioneer or technology involved.

I got shut out on Ruth Conlons(I am sad as I wanted the portrait-30k hammer). I was, however, able to pick up a pretty special Gehrig Conlon with all the fixins' on back(writing, sig and stamp) and used for the star player candy card.

That is a great Lou photo, congrats. Now you need the card to go side by side ....
