Gonna be a quick blog today, as I have been working on a number of stories and one breaking story, which I will be publishing tomorrow (trust me, you won't wanna miss this one).

Today I received the initial list of the items that will be featured in Mastro's live auction at The National. Some very nice pieces, including Mickey Mantle's 500th home run ball and a T206 Honus Wagner.
Here are some of the items:

 Mid 70s Pistol Pete Maravich Jazz game-used jersey
 1970 Topps Pete Maravich PSA 10
 1921-23 Babe Ruth game-used bat
 1907-08 Ty Cobb game-used bat
 Rookie era DiMaggio game-used bat
 "Momen" Clemente Rookie-era game-used bat
 1910 T215 Pirates Tobacco near set
 T206 Honus Wagner
 1950 Toleteros Josh Gibson
 1914 Boston Garter Joe Jackson
 1933 Nap Lajoie
 Mickey Mantle 500th home run ball
 1915 contract for Rupert's purchase of Yankees
 Casey Sengel's 1958 World Series ring
 Barry Bond #70 home run ball
 Christy Mathewson single-singed ball
 Early 80's Gretzky jersey
 1969 game-worn Hank Aaron jersey

The event will be held Aug. 3 at the House of Blues in Cleveland. I just booked my flight and will be reporting from the event. Can't wait to go to the convention center with the big ferris wheel in the middle of the building.

Seriously, you'll want to check out my blog tomorrow, as I will be interviewing a very interesting former Major League ball player tomorrow afternoon.
