Does anyone know how to obtain the final results of this auction? Sotheby's website does not go back that far. I am interested in knowing the results of the final prices for the pinbacks, especially lots 265 through 273. Thanks.

Interesting notes Jimmy - did you take those at the auction or is there a resource those was pulled from?

Was the copeland collection mostly cards and some pins, or did it have a lot of display memorabilia as well (i.e. pennants, figurals, etc)?

Whilst we acquired 5 lots in the Copeland Auction, the Chicago
American pins were not among them
