I don't know if Sotheby's still does sports collectibles
 

But if they do, they have a new owner

Hey Rich, they don’t but if they received a consignment like they did with Robin Williams they they would sell them. This was pretty big news today in the office ( I work at Sotheby’s )

Wow, their stock jumped 58.6% on the news. Impressive. :eek:

"In 1998, Christie's was bought by French tycoon François Pinault for $1.2 billion, setting off a 20-year period during which Christie's, with no particular need to make a profit, out-competed Sotheby's.
The value of Christie's to Pinault is not financial. Rather, the auction house gives him unparalleled insight into the behavior of the world's wealthiest individuals, and also effectively acts as his primary art acquisition vehicle."

Dropping 1.2 Billion on an auction company so you can figure out why the other rich people buy what they buy so you can buy it first and make more money...

Damn, that's brilliant!
