Brizzolara Collection / T206 Player Autos / Hunt Auctions

[bender07]

Some cool stuff. I got Reggie, Kirby and Musial. Also a few lots of 60’s and 70’s HOFers.

The price of the Victor Willis was insane!
Wow, that sold for a lot more then I'm sure anyone expected...

I was essentially on the sidelines as a watcher, but an unbelievable collection of beautiful album pages. I don't believe that we will see another collection like this any time soon. Single signatures, signed big with vintage fountain pen.
IMHO, it doesn't get any better than this!

I was fortunate to buy a Satchel Paige AP from this Brizzolara collection perhaps 5 years ago that I believe is superior to the one offered.

I agree Chase and Collins were high. Chase maybe 10x too high. Collins maybe twice as high as it should have been.

Walsh for $350 was a great deal. There were plenty of other deals as well.

I also agree that this kind of find is extraordinarily rare. If another one ever appears I think it will be quite some time from now.

I had consulted with one of the top known experts who contributes to this forum...you all would know him...first to ask if he had a Hal Chase for sale (he didn't) and then his opinion as to the market value of the one on Hunt. He came back at around $2500. I pulled out at $2000 because I saw where the bidding was going.
$14,000. Wow!
May have to look into more affordable collecting.

REA and LOTG each had Hal Chase signatures in auctions within the past year. Neither sold for more than $2,000….

The Hunt one was a pretty nice example, but not worth $12k more than these two. $2,500 is a fair market estimate for the one that just sold for $14k.

Thanks, the lots I bid on (and won) went much lower than I was expecting. The one exception was Jimmy Sheckard, which went for north of $2k. I bowed out around $1,500. Would’ve loved it, but not at that price.

Wow on the Neighbors! For the general big-time collector, is a page or 3x5 more or less desirable than a document like this?

Thanks,
Ken

There are more 3x5 or GPC collectors for most items. But, in many cases a document can be more valuable than either given the context. I find it’s generally easier to find a market for the 3x5 or GPC, but some documents will be worth quite a bit more.

Any relation to former big leaguer Tony Brizzolara? You'd think with the names, but I'm not seeing that info anywhere...

That's a pretty serious price on the Quinn. I have Quinn on a WWII team signed baseball. (Actually also have him on a WWII Navy All-Star Game-Used baseball)
