Yeah, no one on this site spends real money.

By far, Hunt is my favorite major auction house. I have been dealing with them, both as a buyer and consignor, for over 20 years, since I was in high school. They have been nothing but professional, in all aspects of their business, with me in those two decades.....From their live auctions in fire halls and hotel banquet rooms to their present-day live auctions at the MLB FanFest, the Super Bowl, and Louisville Slugger.

I live in the Pittsburgh area, so take this with a grain of salt, but the Clemente auction was heavily publicized here. I won a few lots, with my favorite being a lot of ephemera with relation to his HOF induction, including letters from the HOF to his wife.

I had several items in Monday's auction and they brought strong prices. David Hunt is doing something right in getting the player collections he has gotten and getting tremendous prices in each auction.
