and a Sharpie and a ballpoint and probably crayon and pencil somewhere!
We've never had so many autographs in one auction.
From killer team balls like 1961 Yankees and 1970 Pirates and more, to beautiful single-signed balls from DiMaggio, Williams, Mays, Aaron etc. dozens of 8 x 10's from all sports (Including golf, tennis, racing, track and field and boxing) and hundreds and hundreds of autographed cards, including a cool selection of autographed Red Man's Tobacco with Mays, Williams etc.
We have a number of autographed partial sets!!! If you've ever wanted to start one of these ambitious projects here's a huge chance to get a jump on one!
In cards we have a cool selection of Jackie Robinson including 1948 Leaf and 1949 Bowman among others. A nice 1953 Bowman Color Mantle in PSA 6, a solid 1958 Topps set, rookies both graded and raw including Nolan Ryan, Reggie Jackson, Roy Campanella, Duke Snider, Yogi Berra, Stan Musial, Roger Maris, Steve Van Buren, Jerry Rice and tons more.
Our largest auction ever with over 1600 lots.
We also, for the fist time, have some game-used items including Goose Gossage cleats from his first year with the Pirates certified by JT Sports and a Ken Griffey Sr. Game Used bat PSA certified. Many other items mostly from the Pirates.
Finally, we have some rare oddball card items such as a near set of 1971 House of Jazz cards only missing the Mantle and Lopata super short prints. You never see this for sale anywhere near this complete. Finally a 1964 Topps All-Star Rookie Banquet complete set in original slip cover with original booklet.
You see key singles from this set graded on occasion, you even see sets, sometime with the original box, I have never seen one with the booklet (the cards are actually just the booklet pages in card form! This set is in stellar shape with mostly NM and better cards including the Key 1963 card with Rose as well as singe player cards for Oliva, Tiant, Conigliaro and more. Made only for attendees of the banquet how many can there possibly be out there?
Add in great programs including 1943 World Series, and a bunch of 60's and 70's World Series tickets (one of the hottest markets in the hobby) and this is a killer auction that closes Sunday February 6th.
We have no reserves EVER and out highest starting bid is only $25. Our employees are not allowed to bid in our auctions and our consignors are not allowed to bid on their own items. If you find a bargain, it really is a bargain, not a trap!
