Here are the details so far.... there is a lot more to come (you have to remember that this is labor day weekend and a lot of people just aren't around to finalize anything with yet)...but
1. As a donor, you will recieve a reciept/letter from us detailing the sale and the donation and it will include everything you need for tax deductions etc...
2. Any Sports Item we recieve (autographs, game equipment, cards, whatever) will be authenticated and auctioned off. We will hold individual lot auctions as items become available, if we recieve enough choice pieces (so far we have 3 goudey's that i would place in this category) we will run either 1 or 2 Multiple Lot Auctions, in the same style as Lelands/Mastro/Etc.... All lots will go on eBay. We are professional Auctioneers and will handle the organization of items, titling of items and research ourself. Of course if we have any questions we will certainly contact the owner of the goods and any experts about the item at hand.
As Josh Mentioned, SGC has already agreed to grade for free any cards that we intend to auction off...in order for this to happen though the cards will come from Josh or Myself so everything will need to be shipped to us. We have also contacted GAI, i spoke with hunter and he is very open and willing to help once we get him all the proper paper work (being done this weekend). Joe Orlando from PSA is out on vacation, but the people who i have spoken to at PSA have given us positive feedback. James Spence was very kind and generous and he is in the same boat as Hunter. Tri-Star is in the middle of the show, but will get back to me after the first of the week. Meanwhile we have also contacted the several professional sports teams, the Atlanta newspaper, and my person at CNN is going to present this to the sports department and we will see what happens. I spoke with the Red Cross and they are totally on board, we are going to speak with the head of the Atlanta chapter once i return to town and once they come up for air (hopefully thursday, but if not thursday, then friday). Ebay will reimburse us for much of the fees related to this, but at this time we are currently attempting to contact them regarding advertisement space and site wide announcements. It's a go without a doubt, but it is never to early to start giving! Our website frontpage already reflect this (www.itailers.com) however, at this time, myself and the other guys that work on our website are all talking on the phone and such to get all the information ready for online! Hope this clears up most of the questions you have King, you are always welcome to call me on the office line! Our ebay id is itailers (we only have three items closing this week b/c i'm out of town) and we are not yet sure if we will us this id or an alternative id (with a lower feedback score) to run the auctions on.
