So I have been buying in auctions for years. Slowly building/hoarding my collection of Hall of Fame autos. I currently have around 1,700 total and 219 different.
As many of you know, when you buy from one of the auction houses the auction stays open long into the night on the last day. Most times I do not know what I actually won until the morning. I woke up this morning in eager anticipation because I had bid on several items in the Memory Lane Auction. Here is what I won... KiKi Cuyler Index Card - I needed another Cuyler since my other one failed authentication. ![]() Bobby Wallace - Index Card with note. This is my first Wallace and he is a tough one. ![]() And finally... After years of searching and bidding... Babe Ruth - Looks like an Index Card adhered to the bottom quarter of an old album page. It is a bold auto and it has a full letter PSA/DNA LOA ![]() Ruth was the last of the "major" guys I needed and I really searched for a long time for the right item. Several Ruth items had slipped out of my fingers over the years. I am simply thrilled to add these autos to my collection. Thanks for looking.

That is one of the clearest and boldest Ruth autos I have ever seen! Great additions and congrats! Hopefully this Kiki works out better for you.

That would make a phenomenal Ruth cut auto card. Surprised the card companies didn't snag that one.
Congrats! |

Very cool. I read once that he got his name "Ki Ki" because that's what was yelled when he would take pop ups. He or some one would say "Cuy, Cuy!" Instead of "got it". Very cool pieces congrats

Thanks. After buyer's premium, I paid about $3,700 for the Ruth.

Yeah real nice stuff! Also, I know exactly what you mean about those friggin 'late' bids that come in(sometimes I wonder..). several years ago I thought I had several original photos won(with my high bid way past the auction estimate) only to find out I won zero items!
