American Memorabilia files chapter 11

[sports-rings]

Just wanted to give a heads-up to anyone thinking of bidding or consigning anything to American Memorabilia.

Even though they have an on-going auction (or are preparing for an auction), American Memorabilia has filed for chapter 11.

They have been known the last couple of years as paying their consigners very slowely, if at all.

While they have always sent my winnings in a timely manner, I would suggest that consigning or bidding on their auctions from now on would be foolish.

(but I was convinced of this quite a few years back, when they first started stiffing their consignors).

I didn't even know that they were still around. I thought that they had folded awhile ago. They always seemed like such a professional looking bunch too.....

Actual conversation that took place between myself and former employee Seth Boyd at a Shriners show about 2004

Me (sitting about 30 feet from the entrance): Hey check out that lady standing by the door, that is the ugliest woman I have ever seen in my life (a large person is standing there wearing what looks like a moo-moo, black eye make-up and large hoop earring)
Seth: Dude, that is Victor Moreno from American Memorabilia
Me: That's F##ked Up
Seth: I know, and people actually give him consignments
