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. https://www.ebth.com/sales/12313-spo...ore/categories 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. |

I want old non-sports autographs if you ever come across any.
I keep wanting to buy some sort of appreciating old stuff, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know if I'm paying an appropriate price.

I want this for the photo alone. You'd think in a photo where you are posing, the photographer would suggest you take off your glasses. |

I don't know man. Some of this stuff is not hard core authenticated. without that, no serious collector is going to bid. Some is, might bid on some stuff though, thanks for the heads up.

Just make sure she checks the shipping first. That's the best advice I can give. It can turn a $2 purse into a $25 purse or more, and they don't combine shipping; that really can add up quickly. |

Friday was my first royals game of the year. Got him a Gordon autographed WS ball. It's a fun hobby buying your dad cool stuff. Haha

Hell, half of the authentication that took place in the 90's was fraudulent stuff anyway. Those companies have since went under after it was made public their practices. Still happens today so just because something is authenticated, doesn't mean it's actually legit. I trust most JSA authentications, however. |

Anybody win anything? The Royals lot went for $47, and the most expensive sports-related item was, believe it or not, the pile of minor league commemorative balls, which went for a staggering $350.
