Hake's Auction

[D. Bergin]

Jeez, I didn't even realize it was ending. I just got my catalog a couple days ago.

They had some neat boxing items in there.

I was the underbidder on the Oscar Charleston Aguilitas.

Nice pick-up on the Pop Lloyd!

I went after 4 of the Negro League items but prices were extremely strong IMHO. I guess this auction house is no longer a secret anymore. My guess is that possibly the same Negro League collector (with very deep pockets) picked up the majority of the major pieces in this auction. I could not believe the 25th Intantry panorama that sold for $31K with the juice. Also, the Indianapolis team photo went for an extremely high price as well as the Cienfuegos postcard. The other item that I liked was the TG Album in beautiful condition and probably a fair price based on that.

Oh well, 0-for-4 on this one...........

I was actually going to go after the TG album until it jumped $2,000 in the last little bit...I've always wanted it and now have missed out on two...

oh well...I need more money...haha

Yep, 0 - 4 for me too, Phil! Charleston, Torriente, Cienfuegos PC, and the Rube Foster/ I. E. Taylor PC. Couldn't believe how high some of the team photos went also (all over 10K with the juice)!!! I need a better job.

Oh and yes, nice Lloyd, Mark!!

Ken:

I was hoping that it was you who picked up the Cienfuegos postcard, you've been looking for a Bell & Wells item for a while now.........

[triwak]

Pretty sure I was the underbidder on that. Figured with all the writing on it, I could easily snag it for 2-3K. I'm thinking your theory about one very wealthy collector may be correct. (sigh) The quest continues...
