I didn't get it either, Leon, where do I go to opt in on those? The bids in this auction were so ridiculously low I'm guessing very few forum guys got any notice about it. I was the fortunate recipient of a tip from a very thoughtful member.

Hank, today, someone at the NSCC told me how much you won the L1 WaJo for - you did very well, my friend! I take consolation in knowing there is no better place for this item than in your collection. BTW, I too, would keep this L1 ln its original condition.

FWIW, I am on this list: didn't opt out, didn't get, never heard.

Thanks, Val, I just got lucky, as we sometimes do. After being alerted to the auction by a tip from a very nice Net54 member, I was surprised to even be able to register with such short notice. And then my bids were strictly of the bottom-feeding variety, expecting that once the live auction got underway, they would be quickly overwhelmed and that would be that. When I saw the results, I wished I had bid on a lot more! My friend Joe G, who really knows game-used stuff, said that some of the tough early Padres material went ridiculously low, a fraction of their market value in some cases. It was a very strange auction in a number of respects, not least being how it was possible that so few people were aware of it in the first place.

Like others, I'd leave it as it is.
An idea that might work though... re-frame with a backing mat that has the shape of a complete one in a similar tan. It would look complete from a short distance, but still not be restored aor altered. |

Thanks for the interesting idea. Not sure I'd go to that much trouble, and I think there's enough of it there to extrapolate the rest. I do wish they had done the metal plate in gold rather than silver, I might replace that or ditch it altogether.

Always loved the L1 leathers set. If I recall correctly, we had a complete set of the baseball, and a good number of the other series, including 5 or 6 of the LL premiums. In addition we had some original advertising pieces (including a baseball one).
They make great displays, and the variety was cool. |

Oh, yeah. But I'm not sure I'd want to see the playroom of the guy or gal who came up with the idea for the L1s, they always seemed a bit kinky to me. Or maybe I would!

Thanks, Val, and there isn't the slightest doubt in my mind that you mean it. This was a bolt of lightning for me, straight out of the blue, and I know you've had a few of those in your time. It's all meant to be.
