Legendary Live Auction

[philliesphan]

As I'm away from my home on business travel, can anyone describe some of the highlights?

I'm surprised that this is not available online yet, if catalogs have already been distributed. Excited to see what they have either way-

I'm at work and don't remember everything, but a few that I remember are:
- Joe Jackson autograph
- 1924 Frankie Frisch overseas tour uniform
- 1935 and 1936 DiMaggio Zeenuts w/ coupon
- Peck & Snyder Red Stockings
- several Ruth balls
- Gehrig book signed / inscribed to his Mayo Clinic doctor
- big Temple Cup print

[Bicem]

oh, and just about every rare Philadelphia Phillies card imaginable!

I just received the catalog here as well. Very impressive offering It will be interesting to see how these lots fare in this live auction only format.

Very impressive catalog. It will be interesting to see how these lots fare compared to Heritage's live auction the night before.

will still have internet and phone proxy bids plus live floor phone bidding. I think we'll see strong prices.

Oh, and dibs on the Falk Giants postcard.

Is it online? I don't see anything on the Legendary website.

I couldn't find the auction online either, and I normally receive the print catalogue here in Vancouver the day after the auction ends.

Minor correction, but this is the only Speaker/Evers box known, not the only full box known.

Marc - the only Phillies item I recall was for some reason I think they had a silver bat from Mike Schmidt, but I could be completely wrong.

The 1910 Obak Display Album is incredible. The cards, other than being pasted neatly in to the appropriate spaces, appear NMT. If I weren't taking the lids and grandkids to Disney World I'd go strongly after it. I wonder if the winning bidder will carefully remove the cards and have the #1 set on the Registry or leave it alone. I hope he leaves it alone, this is a 1 of a kind item.

Since I don't have the catalog yet, I can only imagine the 1910 obak display album. If I recall correctly, the other album I saw had the "cards" printed as part of the album, and they weren't separate. Perhaps that is something different.

Hi Max! Nope, these are actual cards, not images of the cards. Absolutely gorgeous. 2 cards have shaken loose but the rest are all firmly mounted with back paste. If the paste is, and I believe it probably is, that flour based paste you see from the 1910's, they COULD be removed and despending on how neatly done, you would have an incredible set. I hope the winning bidder leaves them as is but I wouldn't blame him for being tempted.
