Heroes of Sports

[E93]

I know Will Jaimmet, the owner of Heroes of Sport since we both live in Portland. He is a good, trustworthy guy that I believe will run a top-notch, honest auction house. This auction is a pretty impressive first shot out of the gate. And he has been around the hobby his whole life. You may be more familiar with his pre-auction business, Rose City Sports. They seemed to do more post-war stuff, but he definitely has interest and knowledge in pre-war stuff and I think would like to move more in that direction.

P.S. I have no consignments in the auction and no personal stake in the success of the company. Just a little full disclosure for the inquiring minds.

They have a strong eBay feedback rating as seller, 99.9% positive over a large volume of sales. And their eBay sales I saw were of higher end graded sports cards.

Thanks Jim. That's what I was looking for.


Edited to say: I didn't go down far enough on their front page to see that he had signed a letter and left his name on that page.

I met Will at this year`s National. I wish him much success with his business venture and have enjoyed dealing and speaking with him.

Didn't Will Jaimmet run Oregon Trail Auction in the 1990s? Some of those auctions had some incredible memorabilia items.

That was Will's dad.

I hope nobody outbids me on the PSA10 1975 Topps Dick Tidrow.

But the rest of the stuff is very nice.

Scott Jaimet ran Oregon Trails.
