Liquidating a collection
Recently a graphing friend of mine passed away and I, along with a couple other friends, am working to sell his collection to raise money for his 85-year old father. My friend (Mike Namisnak, or Nami as we called him) collected literally everything. He has signatures from baseball, football, basketball, hockey, NASCAR (his brother worked on the pit crew for Indy car racer Dario Francetti (sp?) for many years), Olympians, wrestling and just about any other walk of life that was put on a trading card. He loved oddball items and has a wide variety of off the wall items signed as well.
I am in the process of inventorying the cards on a spreadsheet so it can be sorted by name, team or set. Currently I am in possession of his signed football, basketball and hockey cards, and can get access to other items as we go through it all. Offhand I know he had a Globetrotters jersey (likely replica) signed by Meadowlark Lemon and a huge NBA banner signed by 50 or more former players, including John Stockton, Terry Porter and Tim Hardaway. He also had a small amount of NFL mini helmets, OMLBs, golf balls, 8x10s and magazines. If there is any interest in signed memorabilia from any of these genres please message me. I am happy to post pictures here and would be taking offers on most every item. His father has no idea of the value of any of this stuff and is happy with anything he can get, so any fair offer will be accepted and much appreciated. If there is any other pertinent information I should post here please don't hesitate to ask. I don't want to come across as just another "father of a friend selling a collection" deal. There are no coa's for the items as they were obtained in person at various events around the area. However, I was standing right next to Nami to witness the majority of his items being signed and can 100% guarantee authenticity. I also have faith in the judgment of the members here and any item can be scanned or photographed to provide a good look at the signature before completing any deal. I know this is a lot of typing and very few specifics, but if there is enough interest I can begin to post some of the better name signatures and items until the complete spreadsheets are ready to go. Thanks in advance for any interest! EDIT to add: the bulk of the collection is from the late 80s and 90s with some newer. Very few older cards, and no real high dollar HOF RCs or anything like that. Nami took advantage of just about every in-person autographing opportunity he could find, but he was not one to buy autographs and didn't delve into the vintage market. So there won't be any Vince Lombardis or Roberto Clementes or anything like that. |

To be clear I'm not opposed to anyone posting here. Just want to be sure I don't miss anything so a PM is also recommended. Thanks! |
For anyone who may have a membership on SCN as well, my friend Kevin will be listing some of the signed baseball cards there in the next day or so. His user name there is justcrazy. He will start with what bigger names Nami had (Smoltz, Biggio, Don Sutton, etc.) and work his way to the lesser names as time goes by. Feel free to message him with specific requests on baseball.

My friend has sent me pics of a few of the items.
Here is the NBA banner. It is smaller than I had remembered it, measuring roughly 24x36. There are several signatures on here and while I'm pretty positive Nami kept a list of everyone he had on it, we cannot find the list just yet. Some of the names I can recognize include John Stockton (HOF), Jerry Sloan (HOF), Bob McAdoo (HOF), Ralph Sampson (HOF), Terry Porter, Mark Price, Charles Oakley, Mark West, Kent Bazemore, Bob Ferry, Keith Askins, Larry Stewart, Eldridge Recasner, Grant Long, Kevin Stacom, Darren Tillus, Jess Kersey (referee), Briante Weber, Allan Houston, Bo Kimble, Kiki Vandeweghe, Dave Twardzik, Rory Sparrow, Scott Wedman, Winston Bennett, Michael Curry, Donyell Marshall, Julius Hodge, Kevin Grevey, Bernie Bickerstaff, Walter Szczerbiak, Jaren Jackson, Michael Bradley, Steve Colter, Sharone Wright, Trajan Langdon, Fred Roberts, Chucky Brown, Clemon Johnson, Kiwane Garris, Ronnie Lester, Dale Ellis, Rex Walters, Bob Dandridge, Corie Blount, Wilson Washington, DeMarco Johnson, Mark Hendrickson (also played MLB), Phil Ford, Bryant Stith, Johnny Newman, Brooks Thompson (deceased), Eric Snow, Gerald Henderson, George Lynch, Vin Baker, Mark Warkentien and Pete Babcock. I can probably deduce many others once I get this actually in my possession. http://i967.photobucket.com/albums/a...psz5ha2f0f.jpg |
