Gibby's not selling these since he needs cash. I heard that all proceeds will be donated to BAT (Baseball Assistance Team that helps ex players in need).
If so that's pretty damn generous.

Default Gibson just got tired of the stuff
I know a close friend of Gibson (probably doesn't have many) who handled all the PR work for him when he had his charity golf outings here in Omaha for years. I contacted him about this when I first saw the ads, and he said Gibson had talked about it for years, he had had the stuff long enough and wanted to sell it with some of the proceeds to go to his favorite charities.

It's possible that some consignors will insist they get paid before BAT.
