Heritage Winnings

[Runscott]

I put in my initial bids this afternoon, then fell asleep and missed extended bidding. Only one bid held up during my nap.

Congrats Scott as an Astros fan you must be very excited!

[perezfan]

Classic '60s style... Cosmic!!

Who wore this Jersey, anyway? It's a beauty

[Runscott]

It's a 1971 worn by Bob Watson.

[bobfreedman]

I was very active last night, The cream of the crop though was the 1966 Pete Rose jersey at a very fair price IMO

[1880nonsports]

and chronic underbidder. Should the winner of the near master set of Kimball champions wish to sell a few cards and/or trade to enhance their holdings - I'd be your guy.... My plans for a pre-auction powerball win went unfulfilled.......

It's early in the day - I saw the title and forgot I was in the memorabilia section and it's a card lot. I don't have the heart or the sense to delete it but appologise just the same.

[perezfan]

Scott: Great Player / awesome Jersey!

Bob: Speechless over that haul!


This was all I could come away with last night...

[Teamgluck]

That Willie Mays Chesterfield ad was my favorite

Great Pickup!

Not many good pennant offerings but this one will do for me. (At this point I am focusing on early century Phillies and A's, so if you have or know of ....)

Cool jersey Scott. Like the rainbow jerseys too. Didn't you get an early jacket too?

I lost out at the very end on the Cardinals 1927 ball Friday night but did get the 1921 Cardinals scorecard as part of this lot.

[Runscott]

Clint, I had a 1971 jacket that I wish I had kept. Unfortunately it was too small.

Picked these up last night: 1822-24 sports books (primarily boxing). No additional pics, so not sure what I have, but looking forward to reading:

I'm surprised how cheap the maris signed photos went for, three went under $325 after BP. But I fell asleep and didn't win any.

[Runscott]

I always check out the Maris-signed items in auctions. The signatures on a couple of these looked shaky, so I quit looking. Maybe I was being a bit paranoid, but it has served me well when it comes to autographs.

Looks like you have three of these volumes (see link). Pretty cool. The engravings are exceptional. You'll have to teach us all the cock fighting shorthand when you get them.

I picked up this circa 1937 DiMaggio, so now I've got early DiMaggio, Mantle, and Williams signed photos. Really just a consolation prize after not being able afford the 1898 integrated 'Maine' photo and 1940s–80s autograph lot. If anyone here got either of those, I assume you know what you bought (otherwise, ask).

[Runscott]

That DiMaggio photo is not a bad consolation prize.

Joe - thanks for the link. I bid because I am a billiards and boxing collector, and just wanted to read them. But nice engravings is a big bonus.

[RichardSimon]

Those vintage photos with great inscriptions, in fountain pen, are SO MUCH nicer then the 8x10 color shots with a blue sharpie sig. that he mass produced at a show or private signing.

[tazdmb]

Picked Up #227 for my BB HOF autograph collection. Being a check collector, a Cartwright check has been on my wantlist for sometime.

[scooter729]

wasn't what I was originally thinking I would get, but I ended up the high bidder on this Cap Anson cigar box, which I thought was pretty interesting...

[effe]

I picked these up. I was only interested in the Milwaukee program so the 1900 Boston and 1912 Millers program will likely be posted on the BST shortly.

Greg...

Beautiful embroidered Oversized Athletics Pennant. What a great acquisition that was! Could've easily gone for double that amount

[thetahat]

Thanks Mark. Amazing how many variations of the Athletics exist, yet have *never* even seen a STL Cards/Browns pennant from same era. Felt shortage in the midwest???

[perezfan]

Greg:
I have seen exactly one in 25 years of collecting pennants. It was gorgeous, and was a Cardinals Pennant in a very early Mastro Auction. It featured a Head shot of the Manager, and I am 90% sure it was Miller Huggins. If not him, then Bresnahan.

It was featured on a Catalog Page titled "Mini Find of Maxi Felt". I can remember that much, but not the details of the pennant itself (early dimentia setting in). Anyway, Mastro featured 10 amazing Oversized Pennants from the teens, most of which featured head-shots of the Managers. I remember the following being included...

Cardinals / Huggins or Bresnahan
Reds / Joe Tinker
Giants / John McGraw
Brooklyn / Bill Dahlen
Phillies / Red Dooin
Braves / George Stallings
Pirates / Fred Clarke
Boston Red Sox / Red Felt with simple "S O X" graphics
Chicago White Sox / Green Felt with Ornate Leaping Fielder
Chicago Cubs / Burgundy Felt with Swinging Bear

All were in pristine condition, and the Manager variations all sold for $6 - $12K a piece. I would love to know where these ended up going. I completely struck out at the time, but have since acquired the same Giants/John McGraw variation and a 1st Year Yankees Pennant with a Frank Chance Head Shot (as Manager). Mastro did not include the Frank Chance/Yankees version in their offering.

I seem to have misplaced the damn Catalogue, and the auction occurred too long ago to appear in Legendary's on-line archives. If anyone reading this still has the earliest of the Mastro Catalogs, and can post a photo image of this offering.... pleeeease do so, as it would be much appreciated!

[thetahat]

Mark, wow, that must have been some auction. I would also love to see pictures, the STL pennant especially seems amazing. Thanks for the info. Hopefully one of these resurfaces someday soon!

Has anyone received their items from Heritage from yet?

[3-2-count]

Nothing here yet. I'm told I will get an email when my item ships which I haven't received yet as well. Payment was received on 11/12.

I had lunch with Chris I. and picked mine up several days ago. It helps that Heritage is in my backyard (so to speak).

I'm in Canada and I received my item on Thursday. I did only purchase one photo however.

[perezfan]

Received mine on Wed last week...

[thetahat]

I called twice, then finally two weeks after closing (and after me paying) the man at HA said he got permission to expedite the shipment. (???)

[GoCubsGo32]

I still haven't received mine as well...

[gnaz01]

Received mine last Wednesday

[Donscards]

Funny, I was going to run a ad to see if anyone received their winnings from Heritage---I paid 11/10 and have not heard anything from then---I won a low end 51 bowman mantle ($3372) ---Robert Edwards sent my winnings before my check even cleared----I am really disappointed with Heritage, they could at least send a email with a update---all the other Auction houses do that. Oh well maybe this week but I doubt it. Don

[3-2-count]

I will be calling them today.

[1952boyntoncollector]

today..they said sending it out in a few days and going to email me the shipping info

i bought a bunch of high number 1952 topps some t206 cy young and mantle

[GoCubsGo32]

I called today..and he didn't tell me when they would be shipping it out.Just said...you'll get an email when it will be shipped.

[Runscott]

I'm just wondering where the guys are who complain about the complainers?

The pattern here is fairly normal: small auction houses ship fast, large auction houses ship slow and the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Consignment checks arrive slow regardless. It's all formulaic.

[perezfan]

That pretty much sums it up...

At least I get why people might complain about slow delivery, though...

The thread I just don't get is the REA Catalog Thread which happens every single year. Why does each and every member need to announce the exact day his Catalogue arrived? Or lament that it hasn't come yet? I just don't see the point... it's not exactly riveting subject matter. And why is it only for REA, and none of the others?

This multi-hundred post REA thread is a yearly occurrence (always on the Card side) but seems like such a redundant waste of time. Who cares what date it arrived in Enid, Oklahoma

Maybe the people in Enid, Oklahoma??

[perezfan]

Hey, I had to pick out one town, to make a point. Really attempted to think of one that wouldn't offend anyone here.

Hopefully nobody on the forum is from Enid. If so, no offense, and I'll edit the post to say Nome, Alaska

[Donscards]

I think the collectors love the smell of a new REA Auction Catalogue and brag about that but who knows but I have to say REA is the best when it comes to shipping out your wins. Don

I think it's the adult version of the Sears Christmas catalog. I hear they used to really go crazy over those in Enid.

[thetahat]

Received my Athletics pennant, finally. $35.00 shipping for a pennant that was squeezed into a sloppy homemade over-sized pennant holder. A nice surprise was seeing the tag on the back; manufacturer's name was described as not legible on the auction site but it turns out to be a Gimbel Brothers signature, likely from their early dept. store in downtown Philly.
