Sievers Estate Sale
I went to this estate sale today. Arrived early, got a nice low line number and was in the door before almost everyone else. Very disappointing. It was clear the family kept all the desirable items and let the estate handler over-price the rest. No uniforms, no gamers, no important awards (unless you like amateur bowling and golf trophies), lots of reproduced photos . . . you get the idea. There were a couple of interesting items, but not many. Two large, inscribed photos signed by Ted Williams were priced at $300 each. A multi-signed Joe D. Legends game jersey was also $300.
The trip wasn't a total washout. I did manage to snag a photo album with some team pictures, a bunch of player snapshots, and a few autographs, all for $30, but passed on everything else. My wife bought a small (but heavy) bookcase for a few bucks, so the trip was worthwhile for both of us. Just wish some of the good stuff from a 5-time All Star with a 17-year career would have been available.
