Well, I've got my ticket and hotel booked for the Sotheby's with SCP Auction in New York on June 5. I'm really looking forward to seeing the Sotheby's building and looking at all the great stuff. And I never pass up a trip to go to New York City, but unfortunately the Rucker tournament (yeah, I know it's actually called the EBC) doesn't start until June 18, but I'll probably do some shopping on 125th Street anyway and may even visit the court if my schedule permits. It's very easy to get to if you know the subway a little and you switch lines at Yankee Stadium, which is another fun place to visit.

Since I'm a big basketball fan, the jerseys are where I'm focusing much of my attention. Some of the highlights include:

• 1955 Dolph Schayes 1955 Syracuse Nationals road lersey
• George Mikan 1947-48 Minneapolis Lakers road lersey
• Wilt Chamberlain 1955 Philadelphia Warriors rookie uniform
• Willis Reed 1969-70 New York Knicks home jersey from the final game of the Championship Series (yeah, that one)
• Oscar Robertson 1967 Cincinnati Royals home uniform
• Connie Hawkins early 1970s Phoenix Suns road jersey
• Pete Maravich 1975-76 New Orleans Jazz road jersey
• Jerry West 1970s Los Angeles Lakers home jersey
• Elgin Baylor early 1970s Los Angeles Lakers home jersey
• Kareem Abdul-Jabbar circa 1980 Los Angeles Lakers home jersey
• Julius Erving early 1980s Philadelphia 76ers home jersey with shorts
• Bob Cousy 1950s Boston Celtics signed home uniform
• Bill Russell 1967-68 Boston Celtics home jersey
• John Havlicek 1960s Boston Celtics road jersey
• Dave Debusschere 1970s New York Knicks signed home uniform

The list just continues to go on and on. I'm sure I missed one that would have you scratching your head saying, "He really should have pointed that one out too." And I've talked to the consignor of most of it and it sounds like he's got quite a few more that will be hitting future SCP Auctions. He's also done plenty of homework on the jerseys he's added to his collection, which means I need to start selling some bats to free up some money for this one.
