I was hoping to get some advice from people here.
I am considering sending two items to auction houses:
- 1938 Pasadena Junior High Yearbook signed by Jackie Robinson 4x
- 1945 Owners contract with Commissioner Happy Chandler signed by a representative of each team (Yankees copy)
I had 2 questions:
- The binding on the Jackie Yearbook is a little bit damaged which hurts the aesthetics (the binding is still tight). I was wondering if it made sense to have it professionally restored before sending to an auction house (or if there are any auction houses that handle this kind of thing for items that are sent in)
- Which auction house would your recommend for these? Goldin seems to be the 'hottest' auction house these days, but it is mostly focused on modern cards. Thinking of possibly going Heritage or REA, or a smaller house like Love of the Game and would love thoughts.
