Goodwin Champions Museum Collection

I had looked at several Goodwin auctions for the Hot List over the past few weeks but I hadn't yet noticed these. They appear to be rare historical relics like:

A few auctions are up right now:

[phil:2ymo88up]110711834359[/phil:2ymo88up] - Spirit of St. Louis Gauze
[phil:2ymo88up]190553982970[/phil:2ymo88up] - Kind Edward VIII Hankerchief
[phil:2ymo88up]320726640542[/phil:2ymo88up] - Napoleon Bonaparte Redemption
[phil:2ymo88up]190553286867[/phil:2ymo88up] - Horatio Nelson Battle Flag

but the big seller appears to be a Lincoln Redemption:
[phil:2ymo88up]300575419450[/phil:2ymo88up] and [phil:2ymo88up]260812053835[/phil:2ymo88up] - I'm not sure what kind of Lincoln relic this is going to be but apparently something pretty good?

I know over the course of time there have been a whole lot of attempts a Relic cards from actual GU, to seats in a stadium a player played in, DNA hair, bugs and on and on but I have to say these are pretty cool.

What are your thoughts, like? dislike? buying?

 

[JackLondon]

If I had the money, I would buy a TON of these relics! Love the historical items.

Goodwin really outdid itself this year IMO.

- on-card autos of a broad range of athletes
- presidential sketches
- entomology
- the animal patches (I like them!)
- and the relics you posted.

Very cool stuff. I'd keep the historical relics if I pulled one.

I just wonder what the Lincoln and Bonaparte are going to be? I'd be nervous paying $600 for a Lincoln not knowing if I was going to get a piece of his shirt or a splinter from some old log cabin that was in his neighborhood as a child...

Was it UD or Topps that did chunks of his law office floor? desk? as a relic?

Thank you very much...it'd be really neat to know more background on these sorts of things.

A desk - was it the one in the oval office? Or one he used as a lawyer? Illinois state office? his home? And on and on the questions go.

Same with the chair - did he sit in it once, was it his go to chair etc...

On another note though, the Annie Oakley card would be AWESOME!

 

[TheFlyingDutchman]

It would be awesome if they had that info on the back of the card. I do agree that the Annie Oakley would be pretty sweet

Actually, if that card was created I bet you it'd sell for big bucks.
