Huggins and Scott Auction

Time for another auction catalog run through.  This time, Huggins & Scott sent me their latest.  The auction will run on September 29 and 30.  Plenty of time to get a second mortgage.

This catalog contains some interesting items.  It seems that someone is selling their Rogers Hornsby collection.  Lots 47-72 are all Rogers Hornsbys.  Old and modern.  Cards and Relic Cards.  All Rogers, all the time.

So, what am I going to feature?  See if you can find a theme...
