OT: Paul Skenes Rookie Card Search

[BillyCoxDodgers3B]

Hoping it's just a bad photo, but it sure looks like a scribble that was signed three seconds ago has already started to fade considerably.

Kid declined the mlb 30 yr tickets
Instead auction it off by Fanatics collect in March

I’m happy to see that this card was found by a kid verses a danged bunch of people doing one of those case breaks.

I hope the bidders go loopy and the kid gets a huge pile of loot for that card.

Yeah- forgot to add that all proceeds go to the LA fires �� it said

I heard that the kid who pulled the card may be the son of a very popular breaker. But I don’t know if it’s true.

100% of the proceeds? Or just Fanatics' commission?

Says All proceeds

As I understand it, whereas it pertains to auctions, the term "all proceeds" would typically mean the profit realized by the auctioneer.

Hypothetically, let's imagine the item sells for $1,200,000. Let's further imagine the BP is 20% and the consignor gets $1,000,000. In this particular example, "all proceeds" would equate to $200,000 minus any expenses incurred by the auction house.

So, the donation would be significant; however, it wouldn't be the entire hammer price.

The article I had read said that Fanatics said their proceeds would be donated and the journalist took that to mean 100% of the proceeds. My hunch is the 11 year old kid is not donating 100%, if any, of his proceeds.
