Auction Fever: Just in case you thought it only affected card collectors
Posted By: Max Weder
I hate to say that I already twice amended my snipe on this auction of the library listing of the Spalding holdings , but both amendments are nowhere near the current bid, and the auction has two hours to go...Is there anything I'm missing on this auction which would suggest this value is justified? |

I know how to get to item by other means, but I am lazy. And when someone posts about an item, it only makes sense to have a link to the item and not to something else. Sort of defeats the purpose of getting an answer to your question. |

Well, not saying who bought the ABE copy (however, be sure to bring your raincoat to Canada's wet coast, Mr. Spalding...), but often the best indicator of value on ebay is the third highest bidder in an auction, after the mano a mano action has played itself out (no mas, I say). |

Max, I hope your paying the full tax on that "collectible" and not trying to claim that it's a book and exempt from sales taxes. |

Have no fear, my law-abiding friends. I will personally alert the authorities that Max will be smuggling rare American books across the border during his next visit to Seattle. I know his accomplices and where they like to eat lunch, so I'll be sure that they are tailed. |

Just so Jeff O doesn't cast further dispersions on this issue, as he did on my cross-border migration habits, I want to state that I have an iron clad alibi from 1922 to 1958 regarding the Spalding collection and its missing inventory. |

The listing of the Spalding inventory poses some interesting questions for the unique items that were donated by Spalding and are now no longer in the library's collection. Do the major auction houses do any search of title or provenance? Have any of the missing items shown up at auction? The inventory is at http://catnyp.nypl.org/record=b2669595 |
