The Collector Connection Pre War Auction VIII CLOSES TONIGHT!

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

It certainly has a chance to beat our record. We had a freshly graded (most cards we get in are raw and we grade them for the consignor) 1952 Berk Ross Mantle in PSA 8 that's an insane grade for that card and we've had a few 1952 Topps Mantles. We also brought to market the first (and still only) known example of a 1909 Rose Post Card Cy Young with the sticker added to cover the Boston AL since he had been traded to Cleveland. Again came to us raw. Now owned by a board member. Those are the ones that stick out. Oh and an autographed George Mikan Rookie I found in the bottom of a Tastee Kake box full of junk wax era baseball, not even in a sleeve on a house call.

The Ruth was just my advertising dollars at work. Consignor saw one of our print ads. It actually came graded from the original owner's family in Canada, so new to market one owner card. Believe it or not this card is their "test run" and if it goes well I will be getting some other amazing items.

Hope you get the rest...even though that Ruth is not in my wheelhouse!!!

It's pretty exciting, oddly the Ruth might be the best card in the collection (odd that was the test) though there's a '52 Mantle that's still raw that could give it a run for it's money, but it's just tons of $1000 - $10,000 cards which are very important for us.

One week left closes Sunday 6/4. Surprised with how hot tickets are that the two all star game stubs are stilll cheap. They can't be very easy to find.

As you posted, a week to go, right? I imagine at this point many lots typically are cheap.

Well I could say "behind where we expected them to be at this point" but that seems long-winded.

We are on an east coast consignment run starting June 12th in Fort Lauderdale. We bounce around Florida and Alabama a little bit and then up the coast. If you are thinking of consigning give us a call!
