The Heritage Auction
We were very pleased with the results of the first "Platinum Night" auction at the National convention. The assigned auctioneer couldn't make the auction due to a cancelled flight so Andrea Voss called the auction with only 2 hours notice. For someone who doesn't have a background in sports I think she did a great job.
After factoring in the post-auction sales, we went over the $1.9 million mark for 69 lots and the remaining 17 lots are still available on our web site.
Some of the card highlights were the E107 Mathewson ($119,500), T206 American Beauty Frank Baker ($21,510) and the N173 Old Judge Buck Ewing cabinet that sold for $17,925. The Anson bat sold for $286,800; the Mordecai Brown signed ball sold for $65,725 and the Ruth single signed ball went for $83,650. Prices include BP.
I hope everyone who attended had a good time and we are looking forward to hosting another Platinum Night event next year in Chicago.
