This takes you to the main page and you can go to the auction from there.

Under the links you have:

This doesn't seem to work.

Hope it's not just my computer that gives this error.

Thanks ...we will get that taken care of along with some other updates...

Now that I live in Iowa, I figure I should have at least one OJ example from the three Iowan teams found in the set (Burlington Babies, Des Moines Prohibitionists, and Sioux City Cornhuskers). With only one known player/pose for the Burlington team in the OJ set, this card of Frederick Nyce was the perfect way to start it off. I like how Goodwin managed to fit "BURLINGTON" on the jersey.



I briefly thought it would be neat to collect an Iowa player set but quickly realized some of the 1888 Des Moines cards would make this prohibitive.

It is great to see some of the OJs ending up in Board member's collections.

Tom Carfagno - Good price on the N173 checklists. I missed them in the auction or would have been bidding on it for the 1888 checklist. Let me know if you wouldn't mind parting with the 1888 list.

Finally bit the bullet and picked up a '52 Topps Mantle. Thought the eye appeal and centering were plenty decent for a 3 - works for me anyway.

My first WaJo pickup for 2011. http://www.milehighcardco.com/LotDet...px?lotid=20117
Am thrilled to acquire this one, especially after being the underbidder for the Herpolsheimer WaJo in the REA auction.

No cards for me, but I did pick up the Ted Williams pennant.

Very nice Mantle, David. I think you're right on re the eye appeal--that's a card whose attractiveness far exceeds its technical grade.

Nice pickup. I was the underbidder on that pennant and totally forgot about the auction the last day . The color is fantastic.
