Upcoming Sports Auctions

Derek Dye

We are approaching the always bustling 4th Quarter in our great industry of sports memorabilia.  A big facet of our industry is high end auction houses, typically featuring rare items of sports americana.  As expected, these auctions reach unbelievable masses and the bids skyrocket when the biggest names in the game are auctioned off.

Focusing on one of the front runners, Heritage Auctions has laid out the heavy hitters for Fall Auction Lot.  This auction focuses on the Brooks Robinso, Baltimore Orioles collection.  Hats, gloves and game-worn jerseys from the Human Vacuum Cleaner will certainly draw big views on their online auction house.  Also featured in the fall lot – Michael Jordan game-worn rookie shoes, jersey and a baseball signed by Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig!

Lots to pay attention to this fall and we expect this to be just the start of a busy fall in the sports memorabilia industry! Let us know what type of wild bidding wars you find out there. Comment below!

Unpredictable Football League

Derek Dye

With another week in the books, lots of jockeying continues in both the NFC and AFC.  Handicapping NFL games is no longer an exact science.  Seattle, a team who dominates at home and I mean dominates – with only 1 home loss in the past 3 seasons took the loss against a “surprise” Dallas Cowboys team who has now rattled off five straight W’s.  There is no such thing as a lock in the NFL anymore.  The Browns made easy work of the Steelers.  The Calvin Johnson & Reggie Bush-less Lions go into Minnesota and win easy.  I suppose the only real constant would be the Raiders & Jaguars losing – other than that, it’s a very open league at the moment.  Denver has seen their share of close games, same goes with usual playoff mainstays Green Bay, Cincinnati and New England.  Six weeks into the campaign and many teams have tallied their fair share of bumps and bruises.  These next few games will go a long way in deciding who is for real and who should start prepping for the NFL Draft early.  If these first six weeks are any indication of what is next to come, all bets are off.
