In 2007 Sotheby's had their Important Sports Memorabilia and Cards auction.

Looking at these sets from back then, I'd say some people have a pretty good ROI if they were the lucky winners.

I think I will just try to watch/look without signing up if I can?

I briefly read their Privacy Policy, and although it may be like most, I didn't like what I read about the sharing of information. Not that I am worldly by any stretch of the imagination, but less e-mails, spam and annoying 3rd party phone calls sounds good to me!

Sotheby's used to do regular sports auctions, as part of their collectables department, but they quit a few years ago.

Old baseball does not have the widespread appeal of, say, a Marilyn Monroe auction, so I wouldn't expect that Christies does it to effect he prices much if at all.

If you see Sotheby's and Christies other auctions and total sales, you will see that a Mastro or REA auction is small potatoes for them.

I do not think that either Sotheby's or Christies do these auctions for the revenue. They get a lot of publicity for sports sales. The Sotheby's Copeland and Halper sales featured two of their highest selling catalogs ever and the catalog for the current Christie's sale is already sold out.

They look at it as a form or advertising.
