Selling Sports Memorabilia

[ben ji]

Anyone have any experience?

My gpa had a baseball signed by the 1977 Yankee's that has been collecting dust for the past 30 years in a dresser drawer before I found it.

Its signed by Thurman Munson and a bunch of other players and according to the interwebz could be worth around $700.

Should I just throw it up on ebay? Does it need to be certified? Any local places that will buy it?

[ben ji]

Maybe find a Yankee BBS and see if anyone wants it?

[Rage Against the McKee]

Write a handwritten letter to Rex Hudler with a photo of the ball and see if he would be willing to get you into the booth for the Royals-Yankees series at the K this year.

I have a hand collected 1988 Topps complete set plus hundreds of duplicates. These were handled shitloads by a little canadian kid while they were being assembled into a complete set. Anyone want to buy it for like $500 or so?

Being the huge Yankees fan that I am, I will paypal you $100 right now for that baseball.

But seriously guyz, how do I do this? Should I just go into the local pawn shop and see if they have an expert they can call in to appraise it?

[ben ji]

Reading up on it now...

1988 Topps Autographed Bo Jackson card with the bottom right hand corner bent to crap. Highest bidder takes this beaut. home tonight (min. bid of $150)

[AppleJack]

I have an autographed 8x10 glossy of Tommy Morrison. It reads:

To Three Boned Jebediah,
Signed: Tommy "The Duke" Morrison

This piece is not fore sale, its priceless, you see? I just wanted everyone to know that I have it and its awesome. I would, however, consider trading it for a Tom Glavine rookie card.

[steve dave]

What if I told you that some little canadian kid hand collected the entire 92-93 Fleer Ultra Basketball series 1 set (including the highly valuable Alonzo Mourning rookie card) and has it available for sale for a limited time at the ridiculous price of only like $250 (or more)?

[steve dave]

What if I told you that this same Canadian kid has THREE of the John Smoltz 1989 Upper Deck rookie card. All pretty much mint condition as far as little kids ranking their own cards on condition. On top of all this, he is willing to part with them for the stupid low getting himself ripped off price of only about $100 each? You can also have all THREE for only $299.

I have a signed picture of me with Michael Jordan from when I attended his basketball camp back in 1988.  I have a mullet in this picture.  PM me if you are interested.  I will throw in my autograph for free.  This is a really good deal because this will be my first autograph for a fan.

SD-

Keep your cards in your parents basement and then have it flood. I got like $500 from the insurance company for all of my early 90's FBall and baseball cards.

[steve dave]

let's say this canadian kid has a baseball signed by george brett and also somewhat chewed by his brother in law's dog sandlot style. what would you pay for something like this?

a) $1k
b) $750
c) $500
d) $250+

(person who chooses the highest of the above takes this thing home TODAY)

Billy Ripken autographed baseball..
yeah billy bitches

[lopakman]

I have a autographed business card that says:

To lopakman

KU sucks

Larry Bird.


This is in fact real becaue lopak's ex girlfriend ran into Larry Bird and his friend at a bar in LaGuardia.  Imagine my surprise when I got a vm from her telling me she was drinking a beer with Larry Bird.  Larry Bird's friend then tried to get lopak's girlfriend to join the mile high club.  She said she didn't, but she might have.

[steve dave]

what if you knew a little kid who attended a homestand of the colorado rockies in their inaugural season when they had to played at Mile High Stadium and they were playing the Atlanta Braves and this kid saw Deion Sanders hit an inside the park homerun and he kept the game schedule and he put it up for sale today on this blog. what would you say you would pay for this (just estimate to within the closest hundred)?

[Cartierfor3]

No way I'm buying anything from a Canadian.

[The Big Train]

Please tell me this canadian kid isn't Justin Beiber.

[Rage Against the McKee]

Your loss. I have a Canadian friend that makes the BEST maple syrup . . . mmmm
