I took my Willie Mays skateboard. Grant from MBA Auctions in Seattle said $1000 and from what I've seen, that's about right (even in this condition). I recently learned these were made for one year only, only sold in CA and only sold at Macys.
My other item was this 9' wide bunting. Thanks to Dave Grob (I think), I was able to photo match it to the first Opening Day at Candlestick in 1960. Grant liked it and said $1500-2500

Love those skateboards Rob. Grant used to set up every year at the Pacific Northwest Show at the Tacoma Dome that I think Dennis Purdy promoted. Grant always had a really large spread of vintage gloves, bats etc. I always enjoyed going to it.
