My guess would be that there are a lot of non-collectors in the crowd, with more money than sense.

They hyped this auction a lot in the local Boston media this week, so I think a lot of non-collectors showed up and it became a "gotta have something from the Williams auction" for the non-collectors. That's what drove up the prices on the low-end items, to $1K for a ball and $500 for an 11x14 photo.

Brian Williams did a story about the auction on NBC's evening news. A whole lot of people watch that. So a lot of the money may be coming from outside the hobby.

I would guess collectors were blown out, not edged out.

Never underestimate the "crazy-stupid" factor of the live auction. I've always been amazed at the crazy prices that garden variety items sell for in an auction....

Flea markets. If they're lucky.

$1K for a modern day single signed ball is a joke and borderline criminal.
The ton of old Green Diamond garbage unloaded is in the same boat. I'm biased though as I'm already in a battle with Hunt over shenanigans so take everything I say with a grain of salt. |

I thought the 1915 Red Sox photo w/ Ruth went for a good price. I was the high Internet bidder but ended up losing by an increment.

I'd be worried, they don't come with JSA LOAs.
