Is Memorabilia Catching Up To Pre-War?

Special (high-quality) Game Used bats have certainly gone up, as well as autographs, ticket stubs, etc. High tide raises all boats...especially Blue Chip names (Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, Jeter, Trout, etc).

I don't track game used bats but it's not surprising they are lifting with the tide. Except for some Type 1 photos the memorabilia sector hasn't gone up anywhere near what the cards have. I guess if it can be slabbed it will go up and if not, it might not. All hail the mighty plastic.

Leon, cool piece.

Yeah, special pieces across the board, in the Memorabilia world are certainly rising. Peruse the current Heritage Platinum auction- Bats, Jerseys, Contracts, Photos, Signed Balls & Checks, Ticket Stubs, Line-Up Cards, Rings, etc...If it's a quality piece of a blue chip player, it's on the rise.

I would think Negro League material would be making another strong run considering the new ruling by MLB. Not sure that it's made much of a move yet or not though.

Exactly.
