A few weeks ago someone sold a Baseball Cabinet on the BST of a player from Chester, NY with a Goshen, NY photographer stamp on the back. I am from Goshen, NY, which is tiny, and was too late to the party. JMANOS got it for $295 and I later saw it listed on eBay for I think $795. Probably never see another one. Most frustrating thing is it might have some inherent value because of the age but it really only means anything to me. Might try to trade him for it at a later date.

Most definitely. He's contacted me about a trade but I just don't have anything for trade right now. I'm hoping to pick it up sometime in the near-ish future once I have something I think he might want. He seems like a guy who is more than willing to work with you.

The one that got away for me was a really interesting Cobb letter. 2 handwritten pages responding to a fans autograph request. Nice condition, and in green pen of course.
The first page was typical "thanks for remembering me" sort of stuff. The second......Pure cobb like you read about. Todays players are no good, the game isn't what it used to be, racism etc. A stamp guy that I hung out at had it when he was just getting into a phase of dabbling in baseball stuff. The price was decent but not great, and it would have been a major stretch to buy it on a college kid budget. Wish I'd bought that one. A second one got away and then got found again. Fenway real photo postcard showing the hill in left field and a bit of game action. Signed and dated on the back by Frank Navin. Passed on it because it was a bit too expensive. Went to buy it later, but he'd sold all the baseball stuff. Found it about 3 years later at a show a state away. Steve

In 2003 Mastro auctioned the trophy that Lou Boudreau was presented by Sport magazine in 1948 for being named its athlete of the year. It was a modest trophy, but that award by Sport was quite prestigious back in the day.
The trophy sold for $3,700. Who knows what the buyer was willing to go, but I always have felt I dropped out of the bidding too soon. http://legendaryauctions.com/LotDetail.aspx?lotid=37269 Last edited by Rob D.; 12-15-2009 at 06:21 PM.

this was back in early 1970's when Sports Hobbyist (I think) hit the streets and you could order by mail. I was probably 12-14 years old. I saved all summer for that $75.00!!! My dad wrote the check and he told me I was "nuts".
After checking the mailbox everyday for 3 weeks. My package arrived or did it? The card I saved all summer for was not in there  . What was in there was a 1955 Sandy Koufax, 1956 Warren Spahn and a 1951 Roy Campanella along with about 10 other cards I can't remember. Also, there was a credit memo for $25.00.The card I worked so hard for that summer. A 1952 Mickey Mantle.  OUCH!

Mine didnt really get away, but had a sad ending. My friend and I had a "joint" card collection in the middle 70s or so. We went in on a card for Seven dollars, w a corner crease. Sadly, the collection was in his basement at the time and a flood from his washer ruined ALL, including..our.
HANK AARON ROOKIE CARD.

Mine is simple.
Not really an autograph collector any more but I do still collect autographs of Hall of Famers personalized to me. Since many are no longer here to personalize an autograph to me, when I find a signed item "to Bryan" I buy it. Scott Gaynor had a Mantle signed promo photo to Bryan. It sold for the minimum bid of $100. I saw the auction one day too late.
