New advertiser- Love of the Game Auctions

[Leon]

I am happy to officially announce that we have a new advertiser, who happens to be a very good hobby friend. Love of the Game Auctions, run by Al Crisafulli, is moving forward with their first auction in the coming months. There was a thread previously about it but I don't think another is too much. I think Love the the Game Auctions will be a hit with our board and the hobby. I certainly wish Al the best of luck. Please check their website for more details!!

I am very much looking forward to LOTG Auctions. Al is a guy with a ton of integrity and a real love of the hobby. His new venture is a welcomed addition to the hobby. In the interest of full disclosure, I do have a consignment in the first auction, primarily because I want to support Al and what he is offering to the hobby. All the best,
JimB

I will definitely be bidding in Al's auctions.

[HRBAKER]

Looking forward to your initial offering.
Best of success.

Best of luck Al. I truly look forward to LOTG.

[nolemmings]

Me too. I knew the guy before he was a rock star.

I was just about to register, but I read the part in his rules that says he drinks coffee. No thanks, not going to support a coffee drinker here. Just a heads up for any others out there that didn't see that part in the rules

[Jaybird]

Great news. Looking forward to it.

[slidekellyslide]

Good luck Al...hope it is a great success.

[drc]

Before I place a bid, are there any Al/SAH/Don West videos I should know about?

[Exhibitman]

I'm in. Not that Al needs my two-figure bids...

[Matt E.]

Congrats Al!

Heard lots of good things about you.
You will do well.


Thanks,

Matt E.

[LEHR]

Good luck Al and I'm sure I'll be bidding.

[Peter_Spaeth]

I have every confidence that Al will do this the right way and be successful at it.

[Jay Wolt]

Al is a solid cat, I've already consigned cards to his new venture and look forward to the fall for his 1st offering of cards & collectibles.

[Mrc32]

Was Al on any of those Shop at Home infomercials selling triple refractor Jeff Bagwell rookie cards graded 10?

It is always good to have auction houses run by good people. Best of luck Al!

[sox1903wschamp]

Looking forward to the first auction. Best of luck to Al.

[toppcat]

I chatted with Al on the PSA line at the National-he already has a ton of great consignments for his first auction.

[andybecker]

that's true.....Al has some great stuff for his first auction. i'm in. good luck Al.

[wake.up.the.echoes]

Good luck, Al, on your new venture.

I hold you (and your company) in the highest regard, and I look forward to your auctions for many years to come.

[terjung]

Looking forward to LOTG auctions! Good luck, Al!

[dstudeba]

Best wishes for much success. I have also consigned because I believe in Al and his venture.

[Al C.risafulli]

Thanks again, everyone - and thanks to Leon for the kind comments.

I'm thrilled to be doing this, and I'm happy to invite you all to register at https://loveofthegameauctions.com/adduser.aspx

We do have some excellent items in the inaugural auction, including plenty of prewar HOFers, tough type cards and difficult backs, high-grade postwar HOFers, a fantastic selection of football cards, and more.

I'm also pretty active on Facebook and Twitter, and have been blogging about individual consignments, so you can follow along as I add items to the auction. I've already blogged about a gorgeous Kalamazoo Bat Mulvey, George C. Miller Dizzy Dean, a nice, clean E107 Pickering, and some great '48 Leaf football cards, all of which will be in the auction. I'll continue to add entries to the blog as we go forward. Keep following, there's great stuff!

The inaugural auction will close in late October, with the preview going up in late September/early October. The consignment deadline for that auction, in case you're interested, is August 31.

If you have any questions, please ask, and I hope to present an auction that exceeds your expectations!

Regards,
-Al

[Matthew H]

That K-Bats Mulvey is awesome!

[ethicsprof]

This upcoming auction is an exciting event which I am proud to support in every way possible. There is no doubt that this will be an exceptionally successful auction house, in large part because of the stellar reputation of Al C and
the already apparent full-fledged support of the community of collectors.
Congratulations, Al, ole friend.
all the best,
Barry

This is going to be a rocket ship to the moon just because it's Al - one of the best guys I know. Whoever made the comment upthread about good AH's run by good people hit it right on the head.

Best of luck to you Al!

Looking forward to Al's inaugural auction! He's good people.

[2dueces]

Congrads Al. Al is great people and I know he'll do well in his new venture.

[RobertGT]

I like the mission statement of this auction house and have no problem participating.

Are their any general guidelines as far as consignments go, in terms of minimum value, era of cards etc.?

[npa589]

Looking forward to it Al, thanks for the messages thus far!

Hi Al,

I just registered and am looking forward to what consignments you will be offering in your inaugural auction.

I noticed that your site scrolls rather sluggishly (for me anyways), and being in the software development world I downloaded the main page to my PC and tried to locate the problem. A shadow in the body section of the main style sheet is the culprit:

body {
background: url(../UserFiles/Image/background.jpg) top;
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 1000px white;
-moz-box-shadow: inset 0 0 1000px white;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 1000px white;
min-height: 100%;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 16px;
}

Once this is removed, the page scrolls normally. You might want to pass this on to your web developer(s). I hope this helps.

Good luck with the new venture!

Daryl

[Al C.risafulli]

This whole thread is really flattering.

Daryl, thanks for the tip. I will pass it along to the development team in the morning.

Robert, it's not that I have a minimum value as much as I'm looking for quality material that's interesting to the type of collectors that frequent this board. I hope that each auction will have high-value material, but also some interesting items on which almost anyone can bid.

Anyone who might have material they're interested in consigning can feel free to drop me an email; I'm pretty good about responding quickly and will happily discuss any potential consignments.

Thanks so much,
-Al

Best of luck, Al. I'll be bidding. I'm sure it will be a great success!

[MVSNYC]

When is your first Auction, Al?

best wishes!

[Jacklitsch]

Best of luck Al. I'm sure you'll make it a great success!
