This is a paid ad.
So our Pre War Sports Cards& Memorabilia III is now running. Thanks to Leon and the many members who have shown us their support with bids, consignments and kind words!
This auction is bigger than our first two combined which is exciting for us as a company!
Kicks off with 5 Ty Cobb cards including a couple for the budget minded collector! All 3 of our Pre War auctions have kicked off with at least one Cobb and it's a tradition we'd like to continue, so let me know if you have any Cobb cards to consign. We'll give you a VERY solid deal!
We also have Cy Young, Walter Johnson, Lou Gehrig, Nap Lajoie, Christy Mathewson and tons more.
There are partial set breaks of both 1939 and 1941 Play Ball. The 1939's are super solid EX or better raw for the most part, so a great chance to grade and make money. The 1941's are more VG-EX and the Ted Williams is PSA 3.5
There's also a nice selection of silks, T3's, Blankets and other stuff that you don't see as frequently.
There is a nice bunch of Zeenut from 1919 - 1930's mostly sold by year.
A smattering of Pre-War publications like Football Illustrated, Baseball Magazine, Who's Who in Baseball and more. Along with some amazing vintage photos including Conlons!
A decent chunk of a T201 set with about half of them graded as high as "5" over 100 lots of T205's and over 100 more T206's
A nice selection of boxing odds and ends with T218's, T220's, Ogdens and more.
Please check us out. We have
NO RESERVES EVER and our starting bids are all between $1 and $25. We pride ourselves on being a real auction and not a retail sale masquerading as an auction. We let the market tell us what the values are, we don't try and make the market give us the value we think something deserves!
The auction ending starts at 10pm eastern 6/28. at 10pm every item receives a 15 minute clock unless that item has only bid, in which case that item is closed right at 10pm. If an item receives no bids in that 15 minutes it then closes. Every time an item receives a bid the clock resets to 15 minutes.
To bid on an item in extended bidding you must have bid on THAT ITEM prior to 10pm 6/28, so if you need to get place holder bids in I wouldn't wait until the last minute!
THE CONTEST We are trying to come up with a phrase that sums up what we think is our unique position of an auction that specializes in reaching the collector. We have many lots of singles that would be grouped by most, if not all, other auction companies. Our focus on trying to get cards to the end collector is what we're trying to encompass in a short phrase. Upper Deck had a great slogan with "The Collector's Choice" which obviously we can't use.
Post your ideas in this thread (If you've already emailed or posted elsewhere please add them here so I have them all in one spot) and the winner will receive $100 off their next purchase, or $100 off the total commission of their next consignment.
Thanks, and good luck!
