His Hispano-Suiza records sold for $7,500. A 1940 ARCA road racing regulations brochure, the foundation of road racing in the U.S., brought $475.<br \/>\nBut for followers of racing history and Sebring junkies the choice lot was #264, described as \u201cA large quantity of Sebring related archives and programs.\u201d<br \/>\nIt was three boxes full of old programs (some still twine-wrapped from the printer), regulations brochures; a box full of old paper \u2013 letters, telegrams, drafts of entry lists \u2013 copies of unobtainable old time sheet booklets from the Fifties, and more, with a pre-sale estimate of $1,000-$2,000.<br \/>\nReviewed circumspectly, before the sale, they were the crown jewels of the offering.<br \/>\nHow often do the original communications between organizers, sanctioning bodies, the race site and entrants become available? How many even survive in some family\u2019s storague unit of grandpas or grandmas letters?<br \/>\nThe Ulmann files contained flimsy old onion-skin air mail letters, fragile carbon copies that might disappear with a sneeze. It was scary just to touch them: irreplaceable letters and telegrams stuffed into files, curled and folded.<br \/>\nMaybe you get the idea. It is the history of America\u2019s first international road race, on paper.<br \/>\nI bought them.<br \/>\n\u2018Twasn\u2019t easy. Freelance writers don\u2019t have deep pockets. This was a campaign, a fraught campaign.<br \/>\nSold deep in the Ulmann section of the auction, Rupert Banner opened the bidding with a commission bid (i.e., an absentee bidder who\u2019d placed an opening and high bid before the sale) of $1,000. Bids came from throughout the Simeone Museum.<br \/>\nI raised my paddle early. Rupert recognized me as the default bidder, but kept looking down to the commission bid and quickly raising. The room dropped out at the $2,000 commission bid.<br \/>\nI would have like to have stopped there, too, but it went on:<br \/>\n$2,200 me.<br \/>\n$2,500 commission bidder<br \/>\n$2,800 me.<br \/>\n$3,000 commission bidder.<br \/>\nAgony, angst, how do I \u2018splain spending this much to my wife and life partner? Curl up like a snail, cover my eyes and \u2026 raise my paddle one more time for $3,200 (uh, not quite all, there was the buyer\u2019s premium and Philadelphia sales tax, $4,320 total.)<br \/>\nRupert Banner: \u201cThe commission bidder is out. Are there any more bids? Anyone in the room?\u201d<br \/>\nWait, wait \u2026 Rupert dropped the hammer.<br \/>\nI\u2019m not ashamed to say that I raised my arms like the winner of a marathon, my bidder number high in the air.<br \/>\nI threw the boxes into the boot of my Pontiac GTO and arrived home at 11:30PM, then stayed up \u2018til nearly 2AM pawing through the booty. I giggled like a schoolboy. It is marvelous:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A lifetime supply of 1963 Sebring programs<\/li>\n<li>Several original letters from Ferrari signed in lavender ink<\/li>\n<li>1956, &#8217;57 and &#8217;58 time sheets recording the lap times of every car on every lap<\/li>\n<li>A marvelous 1949 telegram from George Rand contending with Triple A\u2019s refusal to allow women in pits<\/li>\n<li>Annotated original Sebring entry lists<\/li>\n<li>A sequence of 1963 correspondence about CSI horsepower\/weight formulas for GT cars and the competitiveness of Cobra GTs and the Corvette Grand Sports<\/li>\n<li>More and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s a segment of the early history of road racing in America, reduced to anecdotes from the original players. It just doesn\u2019t get any better.<br \/>\nThe challenge now is to preserve this irreplaceable archive of original documents, make it available to historians and recover at least some of my investment.<br \/>\nI\u2019ve confessed to Ellen (wife and life partner) and it\u2019s OK.<br \/>\nThe story isn\u2019t over. In fact, it\u2019s just begun, but it\u2019s a whole new window on what Alec Ulmann and his team at Sebring went through that will, I hope, illuminate early American road racing history.<br \/>\nThis is more than \u201cpaper\u201d, it\u2019s history.<br \/>\nI shiver when I think what I have, and what I have to do to preserve and make sense of it so it isn\u2019t lost.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: Rick Carey]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Rick Carey, Auction Editor \u201cPaper\u201d, in the collector sense, is a term that describes the original, physical, written, history of an object.
