Hey Everyone,
Bidding for the Heritage April Sports Cards Catalog Auction has already started! Ending dates are April 19 and 20, 2018. This year, Heritage is breaking up our usual huge spring catalog auction into two auctions. We will have one in May as we always have but that will be memorabilia only. The April auction is cards, cards and more cards! There is an exciting selection of almost 2,000 lots. The ending of the auction is the same format it has been for years with open bidding ending at 10pm central time then an extended period where each lot ends on an individual basis based on a 30-minute clock rule. You have to have placed a bid on a lot before 10pm central time to be able to bid during the 30-minute extended period. Be sure to check the second session card lots ending on April 20 as there is, as always, a nice selection. The home page for the auction is at:

Catalogs – They will be mailed very shortly. If you would like a free catalog please email me all of your mailing information at
peterc@ha.com and we will send one out. To keep getting free catalogs we ask (okay, require) that you place a min. of $1,000 in bids in each catalog auction. There are going to be seven in 2018. Bids need to be placed in each catalog auction. Monthly auctions do not count. If there is no activity for even one auction they may not send out a catalog. I know this may sound harsh but the simple answer is these catalogs are becoming so expensive and we are sending out more and more each auction.
Post-war fans will not be disappointed either, check out the “Windy City Collection” and I hear we have a really nice ’52 Mantle.
Good Luck and Thank You for Bidding,
Peter
