You're an auctioneer that can't be bothered with counting 20 or so items in a lot?) It's estimated to go for $400-$600 which certainly seems like a bargain, unless they mean they're expected to go for that much per painting. That's certainly a per painting estimate. I don't think so. Looking at the listing, it's $400-600 for the lot.

Hey, lot 53 includes one of my uncle's logo pins.

Centerfield wrote: PR Pitcher: Tony Armas Jr. Nope. The PR pitcher is probably best known as being a mainstay of my fantasy baseball team until he was traded to the Yankees, where I sold him for pennies on the dollar. He was an All-Star with the MFYS -- oddly, the only ASG of his career -- and then a postseason disaster, after which he was traded to Arizona. Started at least 32 games in 12 of his 14 seasons, and in the other two, he made 26 starts.
