I've heard some stories about fake stuff, unfortunately, which absolutely sucks. But, the huge majority of his collection was real, and amazing. I was at the sale, and have the (huge, incredible) catalog set. If you don't own the set, it's a must get. Look on Amazon or eBay.

I was at the sale also and it was the most anticipated sports auction to ever happen. It was loaded with many one of a kind baseball/sports collectibles not seen since. The years haven't been kind to Halper, but he sure had a number of great pieces in his collection. Last edited by GaryPassamonte; 03-03-2023 at 04:55 AM.

I followed the auction but had a friend bidding for me. I won some amazing items that i cherish; some of the stuff had problems but I remember the sale and the hoopla fondly. There was never another event with that kind of buzz with that much amazing material at a world-leading auction house.
Here are some of the really cool items i won in the auction: His T227 set (cobb is VG-Ex, uncreased), Johnson is nice but has a crease, there were about 20 cards in the partial set including all the baseball and some dupes with different backs. Diamond and gold pendants for the World Series in 1903 given to Fred Clarke and for being ‘Champs” given to john McGraw in 1904 for the 1905 season as they used to do it. And a complete 6 bottle set from 1906 of the NY Giants, including a unique Matty bottle. I also acquired a Dummy Hoy wool jersey that was purchased by Josh Leland that i bought in a subsequent Lelands auction. Lastly i bought a Leroy Neiman large print of Jerry koosman signed by Neiman and Koosman, wasn’t too expensive a really cool NY Mets item with Koosman a favorite of my youth. Rob Lifson ran the auction for Sothebys. My bidder missed a Dummy Hoy cabinet that he was supposed to bid on for me,and i havent seen another one since! (Anyone have that?).

Here is my Dick Starr autograph from the Halper collection. Looks ok but what do I know. Really can't figure out why I once had this framed and hanging on a wall!
