Bats & Autographed Ball Used in 8 Men Out - Where Best to Auction?

Thanks Thomas. I guess we need to look really hard to get a screen grab of the bats in the film - and maybe the AH really doesn't matter all that much for something like this.

Since they really are not big ticket items you could just list them on here at whatever price they would take. eBay would probably be better than a AH with what they are. You could list them at a slightly high BIN and if no takers list them as 10 day auctions ending on a Sunday night..

I like this idea!

Since the items are movie props, and as others have opined, probably not really big dollar items to sports memorabilia collectors, you may want to look into finding auction houses that specialize in movie props and items as opposed to just sports related items. You can go online and do a search by typing in something like "movie prop auctions", "Hollywood memorabilia auctions", or the like. There are many that will come up, including Heritage Auctions which has a department apparently just for such items. That may actually be a good place to start and see what they say since they apparently specialize in both movie and sports memorabilia. Doesn't hurt to ask.
