What's that laying on the ground by Cobb's feet? Is it is warmup sweater?

Fan he just beat up?

I'm embarrassed to say that I once had a nice copy of the Cobb fielding (and batting) postcards that I sold for under $2000 each. If the fielding one gets to $100k it will vault to near the top of my worst (unfortunately not the top).sales ever.

Ruth rookieS, Boston Store and Collins McCarthy Ruth, Jackson M101-6. Fortunately, all long ago. The pain has almost worn off--almost. How about you Pete, what is your worst sale ever?

[oldjudge]

Pete-Make me feel better-what are your worst sales?

I sold Hal my '25 Gehrig Exhibit for 10k. I think it resides in a 6 holder now. It was a 5 when I had it though it was obtained raw from a Mastro Auction, for 2700'ish in '97-'98. I think it was described as NRMT-MT when I bought it so I was a little disappointed in the grade.
It was a record sale to Hal at the time though, so I Have that going for me !!

I haven't had the fielding pose to regret selling yet, but I think I sold my batting pose for about $350 and one of the 1907 team postcards for $250.
