Goldin

I find it odd that there was so much initial press and announcement emails, but nothing went out about the date changing, at least that I saw. That, and the fact that the contracts are nowhere to be found on their home page. I literally had to search "Robinson Contract" to find it in the bowels of the website, listed as lot #1913, right after a horrendous oil painting of Aaron Judge.

It is always interesting when Peter Nash weighs in. I guess we'll see how this all plays out. As I read it, the essence of Nash's claim is that the contract was stolen from the Dodgers and was not Robinson's copy.

The auction was last night and, if I read correctly, the contract did not sell. If so, I would think this is a black eye for Goldin.

I don't think it will have any effect on Goldin Auctions. I would just be interested to know the real story of the contracts.

Tough to comprehend a minimum bid above $15 million. So Goldin spent a lot of money and time promoting the contract and makes no commission, although they do get some publicity.

I'm a little confused because I am almost sure I got an email a few months back looking for Jackie items for the Jackie auction, and yet it seems like this item was a standalone auction.

Does anyone know if they are planning another auction focused on Jackie or if they will just have a bunch of Jackie items in their next auction...?

Well, the most significant item in the history of the world made a brief appearance in an auction in New York City last night.
The contracts garnered a single bid of $15 million but apparently drew a pass, presumably due to a hidden reserve:
