Finally An Estate Auction Worth Attending
Posted By: Dan Bretta
This had been to my memory the single worst Summer for estate auctions in my locale that I can ever remember...Nothing and I mean nothing had shown up that fits my collection until today. I was able to pick up a lot of Lincoln Athletics items that I did not have. |

I'll be curious to see what the campaign sign is worth. Is it definitely an original? |

Yeah, it's for sure original...has the union label down near the bottom. I also got two 1950s Carl Curtis yard signs in the same $5 lot...he was a Senator from Nebraska back in the 50s through the 1970s. I don't really collect political stuff, but I liked the sign so I threw in the opening bid and was surprised no one else bid. There was a ton of Republican Party ephemera at this auction, but this is the only thing I bid on in that area. |

Dan, Could the Cy Williams bat be a gamer? What is on the knob and what is the length? |

Dan, awesome pickups! I really like that stock certificate. It's not often that you find a nice cache of items like those. |

Mike, the length of the bat is 34" and there is nothing stamped into the knob...I am certain the bat is cracked underneath the tape...I can tell when I knock on the bat. Still couldn't pass it up it was so cheap. |

That could be a gamer Dan. Don't do anything with it til you confirm. I'm not sure what size Williams used, but an unmarked knob on an early 125 is a good thing. You may want to consult Dave Bushing regarding potential for it. |

Not trying to be rude to anyone but were kinda making it sound like its a $10,000 bat. I would bet that it is a gamer and worth alot more than Dan payed for it. Sorry if its being rude to anyone. |

Brock, were a friendly group on this side and try to look out for each other. Granted it's not a $10,000 bat but it could sell in the $200-$300 range easy enough. Dan could get some great Nebraska stuff for that. He couldn't get much for a $30-$40 store model. I just think it's worth finding out. I didn't think you were being rude and I don't believe that Mike or I believed the bat was worth $10,000. |

Brock I'm one of the least offendable (if that is a word) people on the planet. If it's a gamer, I wouldn't be surprised to see it bring $400. Like Clint mentioned, Dan could move it and purchase more treasures to share with us. |
