Jeff it was fun watching the auctions wind down with you. Although you already know, I won the trio of the (3) 1889 Minneapolis Miller player cabinets. Prices were insane. The 12 cabinets ended for just under $20K. WOW!!! What I thought was special about one of the Miller cabinets I won is John Ryn 1st base is believed to be one of the first deaf players in baseball. The other two Miller players in the winning group were Joe Miller 3rd base, and John Mitchell pitcher.
ps- I spoke to the seller personally at length twice on the phone before the auction. Auctions were 100% legit....

Tony,
Not to sound rude but because you spoke with someone doesn't really mean anything. I talked with a guy before about an item he had for sale and he sounded great and all but in the end he sold it to another person and kept my money.

Utterly awesome Pittsburg cabinets. Wish I'd have seen them so I could use my leftover money from REA to buy even more stuff. Anybody able to ID these fellows (besides 2 Beckley & 7 Mack):

I thought the prices went quite a bit higher than I would have expected on just about all of these. Sometimes the hype and excitement about a new find like this often create a buzz that produces higher prices. If these had been sold one at a time slowly on ebay they would not have gone as high.

WOW!!, I missed these altogether, not that I would have bid at those prices. Regardless, this was a very interesting collection with the two 1887 Chicago Proofs for Goodwin & Co. (Geiss & Williamson). As Jay noted, we didn't know who took the 1887 Chicago photos and by extension the 1887 Detroit photos. Both the 1887 Chicago & Detroit cards share the same backdrop with fake grass covering the same floor pattern (i.e., same studio). So Gray Studio took most of the 1887 Photos, perhaps all but New York.
Great Stuff !!
