The chance to get a Lajoie would drive the price.

I don't think the Lajoie was issued in packs though.

I'll bite, I hate him and the crap he did to the hobby I love. with all the garbage he was huckstering on shop at home. I think he is a horrible person and the way he,in my opinion, misrepresented what he was offering should have been criminal. It was sure as hell immoral in my opinion. If Kenny doesn't like this I don't care. I find him repugnant. I won't cease and desist on my opinion of him I think he's a jerk and a blowhard I'd consign to any auction house before his. If he were the only option to buy and sell with I'd find a new hobby. I actually cringe when Leon sends out the emails about his auctions. In fact Leon if u could remove me from the list of spam about his auctions I'd appreciate it. I wouldn't buy a Wagner t206 from him if it were half priced.

Now you've gone and done it. You scared everyone away. Relax and put in a guess on the Aug Net 54 contest. You still have time.

You can't win if you don't play.

This thread has been fun to read because these items are incredible. I like the Robinson jersey and PSA 10 1952 Topps Mantle, but will guess something new even though I don't think it exists: T206 Joe Jackson printer's proof.

[brass_rat]

It's the letter asking for Wagner's permission to be in the T206 set -- and his reply letter -- that go on the auction block.

(And you thought the Neal Ball letter was cool...)



(Let's just hope that they aren't written in Calibri. )

[Stampsfan]

Regardless of what the item (or items) may be, I think the email many of us received has generated the discussion results that were desired.

We're all talking about it, guys...

Did that guy ever handle a card that wasn't a "Jim-Mint Ten" ?

Good one.

He always picked a "random" box to pull and it always had the "goodies."

I'm sure...thanks to those "investments"...there are some people "living in a van down by the river!".

Jackie's first uniform would be great, 8 figures or not. Any key Jesse Owens items from 1936 Olympics in a private collection? Something like "complete set of gold medal USA relay team jerseys" could do it.

If it's not the Cy Young items already posted, a jersey collection of the 1919 Black Sox team?

[vintagerookies51]

Where is everyone getting this 8 figures idea from? Didn't see any numerical value in the email... Would be awesome if it was the Jackie Robinson debut jersey. Whatever it is I doubt we will be disappointed

Easy to miss, but it was from this post earlier in the thread (page 1)

we are not able to disclose the item yet, however it will be the first sports related collectible to have sold for 8 figures, no question. Barring unforeseen delay in announcing, the item will be announced late next week from NYC in a press conference with the parties involved.

If you wish to consign to our October Legends auction, please contact our office now at info@goldinauctions.com
or me personally at ken@goldinauctions.com

thank you

I know I mentioned earlier my guess/feeling that it would most likely be Jackie Robinson's Dodgers debut jersey, but.......

Does anyone know if Babe Ruth's rookie Red Sox jersey is known to exist?

Also, if it does exist, could it be positively identified/authenticated at this point?

Goldin will buy it for a million and then announce its worth 10.

[btcarfagno]

I would be pissed if that's all it is. I'm thinking some new great item is hitting the market. Something noone even knew existed. What a kick in the crotch the f&$&ing Bronco would be.

A true entrepreneur would buy it for 1 million and then break it down into components. For example OJ's Ford Bronco muffler, the radiator, the passenger side rear view mirror, etc. By this method one could potentially net that magic 10 million amount.
