Best of Yesterday 1995 revisited

[mikesglove]

This 1995 catalog from "The Best of Yesterday" auction in Illinois may have been the first blockbuster vintage baseball glove auction. Dave Bushing may have put this on. It is chock full of great gloves, some of which are recognizable in the recent Legendary auction. This auction was notable for the dozens of boxed gloves and the Gehrig zipper back mitt.

I believe that is when John Graham sold his collection the first time.

You are right. On the catalog cover is statement about part of John Graham's extensive collection up for auction.
