SAD NEWS-  I'm sorry to report that my mother passed away last week from complications after hip surgery. She lived a good, long and happy life. She was almost 93 when she passed. I will always be thankful for all her support of my hobby- especially in the early years.

Because I've been bogged down with taking care of her arrangements, our next auction will be slightly delayed but we are still planning on having it in late October.

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS CATALOG

Our thanks go to long-time San Francisco Giants collector Rob Greene who was nice enough to send us copies of this great catalog. As Rob points out, check the prices compared to today. We of course know how much the bobbing heads have risen in price, but the PM 10 pins of Davenport and Haller are very hard to find and sell in the $200- $300 range today. The shipping charges ranged from 10 cents to 50 cents.
