I picked this pinback up the last week of March.

Edit: What do you think of Huggins and Scott auctions? I've never used them before.

Huggins & Scott has been around a long time , and AFAIK, has always been considered a very reputable auction house. H&S was acquired by REA last year following the passing of Bill Huggins, the founder of H&S. https://robertedwardauctions.com/abo...e-40f2743514ad

1946 Feller All-Stars Program. Based on the images available for the item, it seems that Paige was playing with a different team than he played for most of the series. Based on my research the closest I have found is the game on Oct 16, 1946 at Wrigley Field in LA, which would mean it was one of the later games in the series, but I will need the program in hand to confirm (as I do not have the opposing lineup and it is not a perfect match).

The second item is not a sports item, but is something I find super cool. It is an original drawing by Garth Williams, who illustrated Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little and the Little House of the Prairie books among many others. I have a few Little House on the Prairie original illustrations and when this hit eBay, I decided that as long as the price remained reasonable, I would love to have it.

+1. In 40+ years all kinds of dealings with them, I was never aware of any kind of shenanigans with House of Cards/Huggins and Scott. REA's reputation speaks for itself. There are others, but those two are right at the top of the game.
