Default Love of the Game Spring auction

Been looking but do not see any dates or a preview. Any ideas when auction begins?

I believe it’ll open around second week March. I know Al & team have been working very hard at putting together a great offering.

As a consignor, I was told this by S.
We anticipate the auction will go live in early- to mid-March, with a closing date of Saturday, March 24. Best of luck

Their ad in the March SMR says it is "Coming in March".

I’ve got a 1934 US Tour of Japan signed baseball and 1909 Walter Johnson letter up in the auction. I know they have some other really nice items consigned so looking forward to a nice auction.

Opens next week, definitely not our worst ever!

It's going to be pretty damn good. The postcard selection is insane, some really beautiful and historic photos, a ton of autographs and of course a great selection of cards.

So when do we get to see? Do we have to wait until it opens?

Let March begin guys!

Yes, you have to wait.

Gross.

Just finalized everything with the catalog, our biggest one yet. It is a pretty extensive auction, with some fantastic pieces in it. I always judge the quality of our auctions based on how many things in it I've never seen before, and there's a heck of a lot of that kind of stuff in it.

Auction will be live before the catalogs mail, but all of it should happen next week. Without getting too spammy, here's a sneak preview of a piece I've been geeking out over all week this week:


It's the Osceola Base Ball Club of 1871, from Stratford, CT. The thing is huge - almost two feet long in its frame. That's Orator Jim O'Rourke in the back row, right.

-Al

We will be live late tonight. It keeps dumping snow on me here in NJ, which is making it difficult for me to get all the descriptions finished. But the auction will launch late tonight, even if I've still got to finish up some of the descriptions while bidding is open!

Where Al is in North Jersey he probably got hit with 20+ inches of snow today. Cut the man a little slack . . . . .

I thought Canadians lived in igloos, it almost feels like spring here in Toronto! Oh, and postcards are cool too.

WOW!!


What a hell of an auction you guys put together! Seriously, there is something for every collector in this auction and a selection too. Just about every write up I have read makes me want to bid on the card(s) like I have to have them. In this case only I am glad I am a poor man

The current auction is absolutely amazing. Some of the postcards in this auction, I have never even seen before. I have about a dozen bids in so far, so what I am about to say is not at all meant to be a dick in any way :

Jim Thorpe did not kick six field goals in the 1911 Carlisle-Harvard game (lot 1040). Thorpe had four field goals in that game; Alex Arcasa scored Carlisle's only touchdown that day.

That Mantle 3.5...gorgeous card. Well timed, after the exceptional 2.5 in Heritage commanded so much.

It's nice to patronize an auction house run by actual collectors, who share a passion for what we all collect. It comes through in everything these guys do. When it's a really cool item, Al and Jeff's excitement jumps off the page. And it's genuine excitement. . . .not manufactured salesman's b.s.
