1941 Scorecard from Dimaggio's 56th Hit

[gejoe2012]

Lelands has an AMAZING scorecard from Joe Dimaggio's 56th hit. I've been looking all over the internet for another one that has been auctioned off or sold and haven't found anything. Scorecards from the next night when the streak was broken have gone for $1,500-$2,500.

With that said, does anyone know what the value of this would be? And what do you expect it to go for? The auction ends tonight.

Although it's a fair question, I don't think the people who plan on bidding want to share that information at this time.

Yeah, that thing is beautiful. I don't expect it to stay near the current price.

[gejoe2012]

Yeahh thats the thing. At it's current price I'd love it but I expect it to go well over $1,000. Wish it wouldn't.

I know when an item I really want hits the auction block, I try to post about it on the day it's ending in order to draw more attention to it. That seems to work well in keeping the price down.

Best of luck tonight.

When you put it like that it probably wasn't a great idea but I figured most of you had already seen it. I just wanted to know if it was in my price range and it doesn't look like it will be. I guess we,ll all see tonight.

Rob, if I'm reading you between the lines correctly, it sounds like you think what I know a lot of others thought when they saw the original post -- that there is actually another reason for pointing out this auction today.

We might have been born at night, but just not last night....

I understand you guys not wanting to post because its still going on . If you want to private message me instead of posting on here that would be cool. Thanks

gejoe2012,

Curiously wondering...Let me know if I am addressing the big pink elephant in the room...."You are the owner of the scorecard trying to drum up interest in the item"

if that isn't the case, then why are you so anxious to find out what others feel the item will sell for or what they would pay for it...

[Wymers Auction]

It is okay to own the item and try to drum up interest in it. Any of us would do the same. They are merely pointing out the charade that you are playing to do so if you are in fact the owner.

[barrysloate]

When you consign a lot to an auction house, it is the auction's responsibility to drum up interest, and not the consignor's. That's how the auction house earns its commission, by doing that work. I'm not saying whether or not the OP owns this scorecard, but if he did coming on here as he did would be inappropriate. Hopefully he was sincere when he asked the question of its value.

[gejoe2012]

Well your close. I'll be honest I don't own the scorecard but I know who does. He was worried it wasn't going to go for what he expected and I told him if it didn't go for X dollar amount I would be bidding on it myself. So while I would love for it to stay low so I could get it myself, you were correct that I wasn't 100% trying to get a steal. If I didn't know the guy who consigned it (who also has a few others at the auction that I won't mention) I was sincere in wondering what it would go for. I did expect that most of you had seen it though, wasn't trying to drum up the biding.
