Auction Watch: Huggins and Scott December Online Auction
I woke up this morning and realized December almost came and went without an "Auction Watch" post. Despite not placing any winning bids, I was definitely active keeping track of lots from Hunt Auctions, Huggins and Scott and ebay - seeing several interesting items in the process.

First Night Game Program
Auction description (with part text from hugginsandscott.com): Originally intended as a novelty, the "night" baseball game has since become the norm. The offered program was issued at Cincinnati's Crosley Field on May 24, 1935 for the first-ever Major League night game.
# of bids: 12
Final bid amount: $375

Ibanez/Lidge BP Jerseys
Auction description (with part text from hugginsandscott.com): Raul Ibanez and Brad Lidge were issued these Phillies batting practice jerseys during the 2010-2011 seasons. The polyester garmets feature twill or felt identifiers and proper Majestic tagging.
# of bids: 3
Final bid amount: $170

Just as an appraiser does when estimating the value of a home, I always look for comparable items to get a sense of what pieces in my own collection are worth. This is one auction I will make record of...
