I�ve been slowly building up my pre-war stamps collection. I made a huge dent with the large lot of 1914 Piedmont Stamps! I paid exactly what I had budgeted for them, so I�m thrilled.

I wish my negro league consignments had done better. Some people got some great deals...or perhaps the market is really just that soft for negro league material. I doubt the same guys who were spending big on negro league items have now shifted to T206! Although it feels that way after seeing the closing prices.

Yes, Derek... the prices were a bit soft. I picked up a few items of yours and a few other but let some pieces go that were exceptional bargains as I just do not have unlimited funds! The ones that "hurt" are not placing an initial bid on the Detroit Stars photo and not making one more bid on the DiHigo Matanzas photo.

Did get the Irvin El Indio, Wreckers photo, Poinciana Cabinet, Torriente photo and the small Charleston photo (which I do not think was yours).

The Newark Eagles Team Photo with Irvin / Suttles / Day / Wells went for 3X what I recall it going for in the past (Hake's?). I thought that the Santurce Cangrejeros went cheap, I thought as did the Rube Foster program.

Thanks Al! Glad to see that many of these awesome items stayed "in the Net54 family". And I'm glad to see that my Betz Studio Cabinet stuck around as well....lots more selling this time around than buying (for me). Might be lots more to come as I trim down my collection a bit.

BTW, I think the Torriente team photo is the coolest item I've ever owned. You'll be floored at how clear the image is when you get it in hand!

That Torriente photo is going to look great in my collection! The image looks amazing! Just as excited about some of the other stuff as I have not had anything of Taylor or Donaldson....
