Christie's "Golden Age of Baseball" Auction
It's been at least 15 years since Christie's has done a sports auction. Seems like an almost exclusive pre-war auction. It will be fun seeing a high-end live auction for once.
Auction Link Edit: looks like they added the catalogue for the first day! Last edited by jhs5120; 08-31-2016 at 12:46 PM. |

It's a very impressive collection of cards and memorabilia, including a large number of Negro League items. . . . and thanks Jason for bringing it to my / our attention. Scott

Why do I have a sneaking suspicion that some of those 19th century items may have been "lifted" from their original venues? Am I just jaded?

So many drool-worthy items. Apart from all the autos and gamers, that Pittsburgh Baseball Club schedule poster is BEAUTIFUL! And would look insanely nice framed up on my wall. If only...

Wow, this is stunning! Thanks for sharing. I don't collect bats, but the bat collection here is insane. A Josh Gibson bat?!? Also, for a T209 collector, I will now have recurring dreams about that Greenville Spinners photo with Shoeless Joe. Fortunately for my bank account, those dreams will cost less than $40k.

It is the collection of a private individual. He bought many of these items privately over a period of many years so those are being offered publicly for the first time ever. A really good guy who is as passionate as anyone about baseball history!

There are at least three items in this auction that I have never seen before or even known about that would fit nicely in my collection (or anyone's, for that matter)...absolutely incredible stuff!

These items were posted to the Web on a site called national pastime meauseum. My understanding was it was a private collection. Most Christie's catalogs do cost but I think if you show up at preview and or auction you get one.. I might attend just for education might throw couple bids on a cabinet or two..

2nd mortgage?
Filling out the papers now!! . (Only partially kidding).
I am not really a bat collector, but can someone educate me on how to feel good about these negro league bats? I understand the concept of side writing on a bat, but is that it? Does PSA / DNA actually have records that tie the weights and lengths to certain players, etc? New to this, but some one of a kind things coming that is for sure!!! WOW!
