Default Hunt Pickups (Clemente or otherwise...)

Anyone here win anything? Prices seemed very strong all the way through.

I'll post my lone pickup when I return home. What an incredible auction... Hoping to see lots of winnings from our Forum!

Unfortunately I did not win anything.

If anyone picked up Roberto's old '72 Charger, props to you and I call shotgun. Sold for $90K.

One of the coolest and most historical items in the auction was Roberto's WS MVP award. Even though it's not the most visually appealing piece, I think I would still get goosebumps if I had the chance to hold it.

I agree prices were really up there. I was looking at a couple Nellie Fox game used items that were past what I was going to pay and that was 2 weeks ago when the auction was just starting with the internet bidding. And they sold for crazy high prices in the end.

Default Well........

This was the event of a lifetime for me - Diehard Clemente collector for almost 30 years. I played and prayed to hit the lottery prior to the auction, but alas it was not to be. Oh to have had a shot at one of those world series rings or the 1960 World Series Uniform. I was in front of my computer from 12-just past 6 following every lot. I was on the phone trying to win my piece of the collection for many. While I agree most of the prices were strong, there were plenty of items that sold within or slightly below the estimates - of course the lots I really hoped to win blew the estimates away (including the gold medal presented to Clemente by the governor of Puerto Rico (underbidder), a twice signed motor vehicle document from 1954 (underbidder) and a presentation sterling vase given to Clemente by his fellow players in honor of his 3000th hit (not even close). I must have been underbidder on at least 12-21 lots. When the dust settled I won a few:

July 25 1970 Roberto Clemente Night resolution from the Puerto Rican House of Representatives
1965 copy of his contract
Winter league lot including programs with Clemente photo content
group of magazines including a couple from Puerto Rico
Man of the year Presentation platter and program
1954 Learners permit see images

Happy to have been able to participate. A few of the lots (and there were quite a few) that blew me away were:

1) 1967 Silver bat - $420,000+BP - highest price in the auction - still shaking my head - could someone explain a rationale that makes this more valuable than either world series ring, the 1960 world series uniform or the 1964 silver bat (260k+BP)
2) 1960 World series press pin - $5,000!!
3) Clemente used shower shoes - $1600

Thank you. Only took about six hours in front of the computer "watching" it live and another couple on the phone losing a lot

The Silver Bat situation was truly perplexing. The first one (from 1967) sells for $420K + the Juice. Then the second one (from 1964, and arguably more desirable) sells for $260K + the Juice.

The only scenario that makes a hint of sense is that the Winner of the 1967 Bat was dead-set on winning one of the two. Not knowing what the true market value really is, he was going to outbid everyone at all costs, to ensure that he got one.

Then (with that fellow out of the way) the under-bidder on the 1967 Bat had a far easier run at the 1964 Bat. So I'm guessing the winner of the '64 Bat must have been solely responsible for pushing up the price so high on the first (1967) Bat. I bet he was willing to go lots higher on the lot he won, and was thrilled to get the '64 Bat for the $260K.

Huge bummer for the winner of the 1967 Bat.... as he paid $180,000 more (along with the increased BP). Although, with that kind of cash to spend, perhaps he didn't even feel it.

I agree it is the scenario that makes the most sense - Someone did highlight that 1967 was the year Clemente batted .357 - his career high and could be for that reason considered more desirable than the rest - I seriously question 200k more desirable though.

Haven't seen many other posts of winnings here - anyone else here get a piece of the auction?

Default Clemente Auction

I won two items: The letter from Richard Nixon to Clemente naming him to Nixon's all-time team, and a game used bat. The bat wasn't technically part of the Clemente collection and the price (I thought) was very good, perhaps because most Clemente fans were focused on the items provided by the family.
