Introducing CIA Auctions (Collector Investor Auctions)
 
This is a paid ad.

Hello 👋,

I’m Jeremy Donson aka the Texas Snowman ((Not to be confused with the other person called “Snowman” who was recently banned from Net 54)). My company is CIA Auctions www.collectorinvestorauctions.com where we have anything from pre-war - ultra modern sports and non-sports available via monthly auctions.

We are an auction house that is for collectors, by collectors! I’m an advertiser on Net54, and wanted to introduce myself. My partner is Chris Sewall, he’s well known through his YouTube channel - “Baseball Card Collector Investor Dealer.” I have been a member of Net54 for a long time though not very active, and personally am an avid T206 Collector, especially rare backs!

I would LOVE to have the NET 54 community join us at CIA as a bidder and consignor & would love to simply talk cards with anyone anytime, so feel free to reach out to me directly at Snowman@collectorinvestorauctions.com. We follow the simple golden rule, "Treat each other as you want to be treated."

We will be at the Philly Show this weekend at booth #650, so please stop by and say hi if you’re at the show. We want to also invite you to a collector hangout on Saturday at 5PM. It will be at the Hilton Garden Inn Valley Forge/Oaks. Free pizza will be provided!

December Auction is LIVE and starts ending Sunday the 14th @ 9:00PM EST Link is below:

Jeremey, your auction link isn't live. We want to see all this great stuff.

Working for me.

I work for CIA in consignments! It’s a great company, that does things the right way! I’ve really enjoyed tying great stories to some of our consignments. For me, a card that has a great backstory is so much more meaningful!

If you ever have any questions about a listing or possible consignments, here’s my email as well: Theo@collectorinvestorauctions.com

Eric72 12-09-2025 07:02 PM

Hi, Jeremy. Best of luck to you and the team.

Adam_thanks_and_gig 12-09-2025 09:18 PM

Happy Customer
 
I have been registered with CIA since their inaugural auction in June, 2024. They have always had great consignments and spectacular customer service. So far I have won a Koufax rookie and T206 Cy Young portrait. I recommend checking them out.

StraightRaceCards 12-09-2025 09:44 PM

Looking forward to taking a part in the auction soon.

I think highly of you guys and look forward to seeing future success of CIA!

perezfan 12-09-2025 09:54 PM

CIA gets my highest endorsement as well. They are great to work with, they don’t allow shill bidding, their fees are low and they are as honest as it gets.

I’ll be a bidder in the December auction for sure, and consigned a number of pieces as well. Very easy process, and Theo is a great guy to work with. If you don’t like the game playing and endless fees, be sure to check them out!

Peter_Spaeth 12-09-2025 10:05 PM

New to me. Nice selection, just asked to register.

Lucas00 12-09-2025 10:36 PM

I love to see things like a '60 post mantle in the first few lots. Very cool. I would like to make a recommendation if possible of filtering by year possibly or brand. You have things like topps, bowman other etc. I personally love the other stuff and would love to see it all in a row.

Filter could be something like
19th century
Pre war 1900-1919
Pre war 1920s-1940s
1950s-1960s topps and bowman
1950s-1960s other/oddball
1970s
1980 and newer

Very rough layout but something like that I think is a great addition.

CIA Auctions 12-09-2025 11:18 PM

Epic name Yoda! Nice to meet you. I just tried the link it seems to be working, did you highlight both lines?

Excited to have you, reach out anytime ☃️

Hi Lucas pleasure to meet you. Thanks for the awesome feedback! There is a search tool at the top of the page in the blue border. We will be updating the search feature though as it is more convenient being right by the items instead of at the top of the page.

Have a great time in the auction, and reach out anytime!

I've been a bidder in a few of the CIA auctions and I've been very pleased with the items that I've won. The shipping was fair and fast and the photos/descriptions are accurate.

trib01 12-10-2025 09:13 AM

Just a quickie here, but Jeremy and Chris are good guys. Never had any issues with either of them. I have won a lot or two from his auctions and everything has always been smooth.

Rich Klein 12-10-2025 10:43 AM

Not relating to this specific auction, but Jeremy has actually set up at my "new" Adat show and I'm always happy to have them set up or visit.

They have made great strides and I know some other people working for them as well at this time.

Jeremy, my registration seems to have gone through and am now waiting for approval. Nic, thanks for the link.
Been at vintage and pre-War way too long to admit without embarrassing myself. Resurfaced about 7 years ago after a long hiatus after I sold my retail company., Full Count Vintage. Look forward to participating in your auctions.
Have really enjoyed your Podcast with Chris Sewell on card purchasing adventures and some of the characters you have encountered.

Hi Turner!!

Yes sir great meeting you as well! Hope all is well and you had an awesome Thanksgiving? Mine was great. Went into a post food coma nap and belly rolled out of bed lol.

Johnny T 12-10-2025 04:10 PM

Jeremy is top notch!!! Known him for a while now and is a real stand up guy! Have participated in every auction and now that he's been getting more pre-war stuff, I've been winning some items too.

Definitely give this good man a shot!

See you Friday at the Philly Show Jeremy!

Nice to have a new (to me) option to browse. Double nice to see something I want.

Is there a day-of "last day/hours" email notification?

Rich Klein 12-11-2025 07:39 AM

I'm on their email list and the communication is very good.

The current auction is the second one I've been a bidder on.

I second this. A filter by sport category (or non-sports) would be helpful. doing a raw search on, say, "football" only returns items with "football" in the description.

Of course, there would have to be a category field available when the auction house is entering the items.

I've won multiple '52 Topps from their auctions and they've always shipped immediately and have been very pleased with their service.
