Hunt Live All-Star FanFest Auction

[bcbgcbrcb]

Anyone on the board pick up anything today? I really liked the 1921 Baltimore panorama w/Lefty Grove & the 1914 Providence team photo w/Babe Ruth, which went for a little over $20K with BP. Just a little out of my price range, no wins today for me............

Went to my very first baseball game on June 19, 1959. The Yankees beat Cleveland, 3-2. Sat in the upper deck, and I was hooked.
So, I picked up this 1959 Yankees team-signed baseball:

I tried all morning yesterday to bid online (while the auction was still open to online bidding) and their website was only allowing me to view maybe 3 or 4 items in each category and when I serached for the individual lots I wanted ot kept coming back with "No Results". So I submitted the old fashioned form in the back of their catalog and signed it and e mailed it over 15 minutes after their online bidding was closed down but live bids were still being accepted. I got no e mail back or confirmation from them but they should have gotten my signed form at 6:15 ET last night. IF they placed those bids for me then it looks like I won 6 out of the 7 lots I wanted based on final bid amounts. If not, then I am a sorely disappointed buyer because of the issues with their website preventing me from some items I really was going after. We'll see I guess.

Rhys,

Hunt has historically and still have some great great stuff but their website needs some major work(IMO). I have got to the point where I just cannot handle searching on it and just wait for the catalogue.
Man...that babe Ruth prov. photo was incred. I was outbid on it and the cobb bain. No wins for me..
I hope your bids took but I had a similar situation where I tried to email bids in during the live auction and they didn't register(which I guess I understand). I was travelling and forgot the auction ended at that time. Anyway, I hope by some chance yours went through.

I did pick up 10 Ted Williams checks---a little over $200 each before the juice---I think that was a good buy----I wish I could have done somemore bidding but the auction didnt allow anybody back in once it went live---I bid on around 10 lots and won this lot. I was the underbidder on around 4-5--Don

How do you know if you won an auction? I I was bidding on a 1960 c hat, but don't know if I won. Looks like I was the high bid.

Can't wait to see it in person.

Intact leather band retains "Tim McAuliffe" resellers tag and "KM Pro Cap" and size "7 1/8" stampings. Well preserved with little mentionable wear. Includes LOA from Hunt Auctions: EX/MT-NM

I stopped by the Live Auction at Fanfest. It was in full swing. Did a quick lap around the cabinets. They sure have some nice things coming up in future auctions.

I was surprised that they don't take PayPal or credit cards.

If you went to their website you would be surprised they have telephones.
