God bless Henry Yee
 

I love this dude's auctions. New one is up.

Jake do you have a link?

http://www.ebay.com/sch/hyee_auctions/m.html

Always love looking at his auctions, but have never won anything from him. Kind of like window shopping for me :D

He's hyee_auctions on eBay. I'm on my iPad and there's no link with the app.

Thanks Lance.

Going big on a couple things here or going home.

I've won only one item from him and that was many years ago...of course my focus is very narrow and he rarely has anything that fits my collection.

Thanks Lance!!:)

In the past he sent out an email regarding his auctions. I didn't get one this time around and would have missed this one. Thanks for the alert.

Henry
 

Henry and I spoke a few weeks ago when he registered for the forum. We have known each other for about 8-10 yrs and have a good hobby rapport. I don't expect him to ever post on the board but more than likely he will be at the Net54baseball dinner as a patron. With his other hobby endeavors I doubt he will be able to speak at the Dinner though. I have my eye on a thing or two, but his auctions sometimes get more than market prices (good for him) so we'll just have to see. best regards

I didn't get one yet either so he must be waiting until all the items are up. I believe the auction is over 3 or 4 nights so look for more items to pop up tonight and through the weekend. I am sure we will get an email soon. I am always Amazed at the stuff that henry gets consigned. Everything seems so minty and there is always something new I have never seen. I Love Henry's auction as I usually find something to add to my collection but also learn so much by his photos and detailed descriptions. Great stuff!

Here come the Type 1's

Its amazing the prices Henry gets. Its almost like a "status symbol" to buy and item from his auctions. That said, the quality is there, and the competition, plus Henry is a really cool person.

Good luck to Henry w the auction and Im sure we'll be seeing some of the great Net54 acquisitions from it soon.

Until I came here I was not aware of the interest/collectability of the TYPE I photos....Yee has many to offer...any estimates on how much these will go for? For example, the Babe Ruth in an LA Angels uniform....

Tommy likey, Tommy want type 1ny..

Just can't say enough good things about Henry. One of the hobby's great practitioners, and a lovely person to boot.

Photograph collecting, and Type 1 photos in particular, is definitely a growing area of interest in the hobby. Yee being one of the most knowledgable and selective (in terms of what photos he includes in his auctions) sellers means he brings truly informative descriptions and quality subject matter, which naturally translate to higher prices for his photograph offerings. And, as I believe was a topic of discussion following his last auction, those higher prices spill over to other memorabilia categories he brings as well, though typically photos are his main area of emphasis. It's hard to pin a price on any piece ahead of time, but you can safely bet it will be "top of the market" price (or better) when the dust settles.

Just goes to show that knowledge of the subject matter, fully-informed descriptions, and clear, straightforward presentation of the material are all appreciated by bidders, and they will reward you for your efforts and consistency.

Oh, and literally being one of two who "wrote the book" on the subject helps too :D

Well done, Benny.

Thanks, Lance.

How much are you guys paid?

C'mon David. It's not like he's your competition... ;)

I consigned some items to Henry's current auction. He is a true professional, courteous, informative about my items, communicative with me and it was a pleasure to deal with him.

I don't sell much, so he's not competition in that respect.

I did look and he has nice photos up. The non-sport are nice too.

+1

I'm glad I could start a thread that was positive and reflects one of the real good guys in the business.

Having said that, it looks like my retirement accounts and/or a second mortgage will be needed to get in on this action.

Good to see that Henry's current auction got a nice write-up in SportsCollectorsDaily.com

http://www.sportscollectorsdaily.com...ay-news-notes/

Henry's stuff always does very well.....Good luck to everyone going for anything...Some of his stuff is already taking off with more than a day left. Can't wait to see some of the prices he gets.

It's a mystery how he does it...

--

I think if you're going to call someone out for a "total scam" in public, you should also provide your proof/reasoning in public. If your bid was a snipe, I really don't see how it could have been anything more than a coincidence.

Get a life Jim.

Lance, please PM me if you want clarification. As someone who runs a legitimate shop, you will be interested in what I have to say.

Please say it for all on the board to read and enjoy, why keep it private if it is legit?

Rawn

I would think this is just a coincidence also. I won three items from Yee's auctions that ended today. I sniped all of them, and for one of them, it hit my max bid exactly. The other two were considerably less than my max bids. (Two Ruth pins and the Butterfinger Ruth ad piece)

me too
 

I was sniping 3-4 items. I won 1 and it was right at $200 below my max. Very happy with the win.

Come on, Jake, you must know we are all hanging on your every word. What is this information you are willing to share only with Lance? Enlighten us all.

Rawn

Jake aka Splinte1941 and I spoke today. He didn't realize it was against the rules to use an alias in registering, as well as on the board, when a name is needed. That being said his name has been changed accordingly to his real name Bill Row.ett III.
Please continue.

Lastly back to the subject at hand, I do believe after further discussions, Henry does have clientele that doesn't bid on ebay unless with him.

So he is a person that uses an alias and has info we would like to hear, sounds like a few others that have come and gone.

Rawn Hill, no reason to hide and no hidden secrets.

Rawn

Thank you Leon, but if you could change my name to Will, I would appreciate it. Only family refer to me as Bill :D

Leon and I had a very productive conversation and while we remain in disagreement on certain recent issues, I am moving forward and putting this behind me.

Rawn, I have been advised by legal counsel (myself) not to comment any further.

Only a fool repsents himself, but in this case, I would follow the advice.

Rawn

Rawn, I'm really not interested in a fight right out of the gate, but please dont speak of matters and areas of expertise in which you're obviously clueless.

I have purchased from Mr. Yee and am only intersted in matters in which you claim to have insight to. Just a challenge to your arrogant posts to deliver on the goods. Jake, Will, Bill, whatever you would like to be called this week, I have no fear of challenges in my limited area of collecting.

You put it out there that you had info of these auctions, so let's hear it.

Rawn

Paging Dr. Luckey...

Mommy, I've been bad and this bad man caught my in a fib or what? Your posts have lead me to believe that you are a complete fool and will no longer be read.

Rawn

If you would like to continue this debate please feel free to contact me on my email of rawn@hotmail.com. You may however continue to make an ass of yourself on the forum if you so desire.

Rawn

No, there's no lie here Yawn, but please understand that I'm not apologizing because I've been threatened with legal action. I'm doing so because I want to move forward. That's all.

If you don't want to read my posts, I promise you I won't lose sleep.

Now it's funny. What, are you 12? Calling me Yawn? I have always used my REAL name unlike you. I again will invite you to take this off the forum. 207-515-1142 is my number. I don't have to hide, maybe because I'm not a d-bag.

The truth can never be held against you and as a so called lawyer, you should be aware of this.

Rawn

Sorry, that was a legit typo.

Why do you want to talk over the phone? I don't have an issue with you but you keep at this for some reason.

Truce.

Leon, I'm not sure of all of your collecting interests, but judging by the above information would you be interested in buying the Brooklyn Bridge from me? :D

I have no desire to ever speak with you. You are the one with secrets and have stated that you have information that would benefit the knowledge of the board.

I have no secrets and would be willing to learn from your vast knowledge.

Rawn

If I ever get rich, I'll be sure to call a different financial planner than you. Doubtful that it will happen, but just putting it out there that there is a big difference between a bean counter and a REAL lawyer.

Rawn

Look you call out a very respected member of our hobby and want to threaten me?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rawn,

I dont have a problem with you but now you're crossing a line past the boundaries of the board and into personal shit. Leon and I have an agreement in place that this will not be tolerated for me, or anyone else on the board.

Only a weirdo starts posting personal information and I would appreciate it if you refrained from doing this.

Thanks.

:D;)

It's called letting someone off the hook. I hope we can get back to talking about sports memorabilia over here.

So what we talking about previously? :D

Isn't "somebody" running out of hooks yet?

Just hooked and now reeling him in. As you know Leon, I have little patience for fakes.
Whatever your name is this week or hour try me, I'll play. I will take that as a sign that we will not be hearing your garbage anymore.
Rawn

I read this entire thread and I just have one question...

WHAT?

If you're not confused, then you're not paying attention...

Good morning, Rawn. Hope you enjoy the great Maine weather this week.

I have to enjoy it while I can, I work second shift.

Rawn

Have a good one man. Peace and prosperity to you. Doing my best to extend the olive branch.

Will

Put each other on block, that is the easiest solution if you want to stop reading annoying member posts. Works wonders!
btw Rawn - I vacationed in Bar Harbor, Maine last year and loved it. Beautiful place.

Well, I have no problems being here in the great state of Maine. Any of the honest members of the forum are more than welcome to stay at my place for a vacation visit. I do take exception to people that tell half of the truth and outright lie to the board. As you can see, I hide from no one. Funny how the board jumps all over an auction house or seller and let's a liar and fraud off without so much as a smack behind the ear.

Lawyer.....No. Financial Planner
Jake....No. Bill
Bill......No. Will
I have a secret.....No. I just make inuendoes

Rawn in Maine

Innuendos are easy to make, that is why we are seeing them so much in the last few days.

Yes they are and they should stop. Many of us here have had them brought up against them and I find them to be made by cowards behind keyboards.

Rawn

Went to summer camp in Casco, Maine; vacationed one college summer in Waterville, Me; and spent part of my honeymoon at the Captain Lord's Mansion in Kennebunkport. Maine is one of my favorite places!

Never made it up to Maine although I would love to see...I hear it's an absolutely beautiful place to vacation.

Barry, I grew up in Harrison, just north of Casco. You must have been on Sebago Lake.

Come on up to Maine, I have no idea where the key is to my front door, low crime rate, decent weather for 3 months, you can drink from the lakes and streams and get directions to the best seafood places around. Moose in the road and mosquitoes large enough to carry away small children are a bit of a detraction though.

Rawn

Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are just stunning.
Went on a great whale watch and two other boating trips (lighthouse viewing and a nature boat trip). The area is clean, friendly and has good restaurants.

Rawn,

Not gonna lie...After reading that, I am pretty jealous sitting here in the great state of Indiana...

Most are very friendly here if you get out of what we call "Northern Mass" which refers to the southern part of the state. More often than not, you will be invited to someone's home for a dinner and a few beers if you strike up a chat at a local establishment.

Pick some wild blueberries or blackberries, feel really great about your dental health and try to figure out our accents. Now that's the impression I get from the tourists.

Rawn

Have dealt with Will/Bill Row.ett in the past with only good results..........Just FYI.........

You have no idea but probably will soon......

Let me guess.......Jake, bill, Will, is actually Henry? This is all making my head spin and I usually like that feeling.

Rawn

Why is everyone so keen on throwing out little breadcrumbs around here? :confused:

That Sir, is the right question.

Rawn

because
 

I am waiting until this evening when someone said they would do the right thing. If they don't, then I probably will. But there are issues to be thought about. Not everyone just says anything all of the time without thinking of the repercussions. And I don't care what a few board members say, I have to be comfortable with my actions.

This is starting to sound like an Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode :D.
Jake-Bill-Will is actually Ron Dross' ghost?? :).
