IF it has sold once, wonder why he is saying they cannot reveal what it is. What is the shroud of secrecy??

Hype. Of course he can reveal it even if it hasn't sold before, I would guess, but saying he can't adds to the hype. If he revealed it in advance who would pay attention to the press conference?

Ken said on GUU it will be the first sports related item to sell for 8 figures.

If it's a new item it will be interesting to see whether the provenance is controversial.

I am sure it is every bit as real as the Babe Ruth catchers mitt.

Jay's non baseball card guess is just a year off. It's Cy Young's Cleveland Spiders full uniform along with other rookie items. It will be a massive once in a lifetime group of items that has never been to auction.

Doubt even a collection like that would get to 8 figures though. Cy Young these days doesn't have that kind of cache.

Not after the last time Goldin was called out here. He lawyered up, sent cease and desist letters and it was business as usual. People could not remove their posts fast enough.

Good call on Jackie debut uniform. That's the only possible (single) piece that could truly fetch 8 figures.

If your posts stick to facts the law is on your side. Doesn't mean you want to get embroiled in a lawsuit even if you are going to win, but the truth is ALWAYS a good defense in a case like that. Of course if what was posted here was conjecture that may hurt his sale, then he probably did the right thing.

Whatever it is, one thing is for sure: I won't be bidding on it.
