Baseball Memorabilia Auction (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=299281)

Baseball Memorabilia Auction

Okay, so as some of you know, I work as an online estate sale organizer in real life, and one of the auctions we just put up is the estate of a lifelong baseball memorabilia collector. There really is an unbelievable amount of stuff in here; MLB players would come to his house as if it was a museum. There are signed photos and baseballs, vintage posters and pennants, lots of bobbleheads and figurines, Negro League and women's league things, and memorabilia from almost every team.

To be quite honest, it isn't getting as much attention as we were hoping, which sucks for us as a company, but because everything starts bidding at a dollar, it means that things are going for much less than they otherwise would. So here's the link; there's a good chance it'll be worth it for you to sign up and bid (especially since there's a special offer for first-timers).

They're also selling a bunch of non-baseball household stuff, and the auction ends on Tuesday night. Here's the link.

If you happen to live in the DC area, you can pick up whatever you win on Thursday, but otherwise we also offer shipping (which for baseballs and pictures probably won't be much). Make sure you check the shipping price before you bid.

And to give you an idea of the scope, this is what his baseball room looked like before we organized it.

And that's not even counting what was already upstairs, in the stairwell, in those cabinets, or in his back room.

Good luck.

Are there reserves that have to be met for most of these?

Because these prices are insanely low.

Nope. Everything starts at a dollar. Some of them stay there.

Now, to be fair, in the last few minutes, prices tend to spike as people play the last-minute bidding game, as they do on eBay. The difference between us and eBay is that a bid on our site adds five minutes to the clock, so others have a chance to answer. So many items will go up at the end, but on the other hand I've seen plenty of stuff go for ridiculously low amounts.

Looks like custom built cabinets to hold everything.

The sports collecting market will never be what it was like in the 90's. People just don't want to spend money on most of it and nothing is highly coveted unless it's super rare nowadays. The internet and access to any item around the world has made prices decrease even further. I simply collect and display and have no plans to sell things for money. I just enjoy having them, displaying them and a story behind them.

Thanks for posting.

That is pretty good.

I bid on a bunch of stuff. Are you going to cut me a deal on shipping all this if I end up winning most of it?

The Royals collection has already gone up.

If I could, I would. We subcontract the shipping so it's out of my hands.

Anytime a bunch of sports stuff like this happen shoot me a message. I am a sucker for sports memorabilia.

....but no football stuff

I know! I told them that if there's ever a football auction, I'm your guy.

I mostly only collect baseball memorabilia and mostly only autographed baseballs. And while some of this stuff is cool, I don't collect the Yankees (personal hate) and most of this is players from a generation I didn't watch. Good stuff though and prices are very low right now. Glad the OP showed us this. I plan to keep that website handy and look at things from time to time. Very interesting stuff in other auctions too.

Just saw when I logged back into the website that I had 1 item in the won category, although I know none of my auctions were ending today.

Went and looked and low and behold I won a purse.

My wife was on and bid on a few things. This is not good, not good at all that she knows about this site now.
