Edit: Just checked and there are jerseys of Gehrig, Jackie Robinson, Jimmie Foxx and Willie Mays, along with a Ruth signed bat from 1921 and a Joe Jackson rookie bat, which they say is the only known bat from his in the league.

Wow...

Agreed some amazing items already

I think we need to take A net54 collection to bid big

Yes, should be one for the ages...as per my post in the Babe Ruth Called Shot Jersey thread...I've consigned my Mickey Mantle Game Used Bat (Triple Crown Era) to this auction (Heritage's August Platinum Sale).

As others have mentioned above, there's some really incredible pieces in the auction (Ruth Called Shot Jersey, Jackie Robinson Jersey, Gehrig Jersey, Ruth Bat, Shoeless Joe Bat, DiMaggio Jersey, etc, etc). I'm honored. Will be exciting!

I once owned a Mantle bat that had been made into a table leg. I knew it when I bought it and thought it wouldn't bother me, but it did. I ended up selling it and upgrading to a Mantle gamer that hadn't been made into furniture.

Good luck with the auction!

Some incredibly cool stuff. Nothing for me really, trying to finish some sets with tough cards and none in the auction.

To each his own, but I find hyperbolic descriptions annoying on many lots. Not uncommon for many auctions.

Does anyone know if a major collector (or multiple major collectors) are selling out in this auction?

I went through the all the listings and the scope of what is here is astounding. At first glance I was blown away by the huge jerseys etc, but looking deeper there's some incredibly rare and obscure items at different levels. Tons of really cool historic items (Aaron 714 GU bases, Ruth Red Sox photos, Jackie debut ticket, Ron Lewis 500 HR Club original painting, Frank Robinson 500th HR bat as a few examples).

Many are items I've never seen sold publicly before, so I'm wondering if a portion of them were in a few collections for decades.

Top of the market when even super collectors say it's time to sell. Opinion only not investment advice:



RUN

I know a few different consignors of some of the higher end items, think the auction is a few pieces from many different consignors. Have a few photos in there myself.
