Leon, I remember your incredible auction well, having won the Davis Croft Red. As I recall, it was in aid of tuition aid for your college-bound daughter, a noble cause. Your collection was fabulous, and we at Net54 are grateful you stayed in the hobby and are rebuilding.
I have to go now. I have a lump in my throat. |

All of them were Leon's - the entire auction! Leon had a fantastic type collection that I loved viewing online (still do on occasion). I won several cards from this auction, but wish I had won several more.

I sold the nicest of these two very scarce 1953-54 Briggs Meats cards of Mickey Mantle to fund purchases from Heritage's auction of Leon's fantastic collection back in 2015. An example of this Mantle card sold fairly recently for about 4-5 times what I sold mine for. Yes, the cards I got from Leon's collection have increased in value since 2015, but nothing like Mantle's cards.
The 1955 Topps Clemente and the 1956 Topps Mantle cards are cards I pulled from 5-cent wax packs when I was a kid.

I earlier posted my 52 Topps Mantle that I sold, and didn't think I had pictures of a couple of my 52 Bowman's that I sold - I sold the entire set for pennies on the dollar. I looked through my pictures and there they were. The Mantle and Mays were graded, pictured below. I sure wish I had the set back! Again, I sent these raw to Beckett several years back.
Nothing compared to Leon's, but I still miss them! |
