We talked a little bit the other day about the ridiculousness that is sports memorabilia. Specifically how overpriced it is. The latest piece of memory that could bring a small fortune is a World Series photo of the two greatest Yankees of all time, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.

The photo was taken during the 1927 series when the Yankees Murderer's Row lineup crushed the Pittsburgh Pirates in a 4-game sweep.

Leland's Auction House has the photo up for bidding on its website through June 6. Josh Leland Evans, the auction house's founder, expects that the photo could fetch a 100K. It would be the first photo to reach that plateau.

Yankee Fan's Prized Possession Stolen

If any of you have ever collected baseball cards, programs, yearbooks, etc., you know how devastating it is if they are lost, stolen, or in many cases, thrown out by your Mother (no, mine didn't, though she threatened to many times).

Troy Peterson of Henderson, KY is one such Yankees fan. Henderson's home was recently broken into and his baseball collection was taken. It included his prized possession, a 1952 World Series program, similar to the one pictured to the left, given to him by his great-aunt, who attended the games.

Peterson also lost approximately 30,000 baseball cards, some dating back to the 1950s. It was the 2nd such break in, in 3 weeks.

If you have any information, please contact the Henderson police department.
