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!

Buckeyes Take Inaugural CFP Title

Derek Dye

The Ohio State Buckeyes take the first College Football Playoff title with their convincing win over the favorite, Oregon. The Buckeyes played with a chip on their shoulder all season long, routinely being slotted as the underdog in big games.  Not many champions have had the adversity that OSU was saddled with this season.  But on this night in Dallas, with their third string quarterback and facing an offense that run plays faster than a video game – the Bucks were superior.  Although Vegas and the majority of analysts wrote off Ohio State back in September, why don’t we feel more surprised by this?  Part of the understanding comes from arguably the best coach in the game being on the sideline or the fact that the third string QB could start at 90% of NCAA schools next year.  Ohio State is littered with 5-star talent and a great coaching staff.  Their early season loss seemed to be a blessing in disguise after the confetti fell Monday night.  Their preseason Heisman hopeful, Braxton Miller did not ever take a snap this season.  Their next man in line, JT Barrett righted the ship the best he could for 11 weeks but he too fell due to injury.  This 2014 Buckeyes team will go down in the record books for the first CFP Title but they will also be remembered for the way they got there and performed along the way – gutsy and together.

Remember this historical run by the Buckeyes.  We have new Championship items in and ready to be displayed proudly by Buckeyes Nation.
