One more point that seems in play here on Memorabilia is that the scarcity of items means that appreciation isnt evident...stuff doesnt trade enough for prices to move up and entice sellers to move their items. Thus no frenzy gets created. Also, with no grading, comps are hard so you cant even crossover values from to
other items. I have some really high end hockey wools and jerseys that I wouldnt want to part with. I am sure they are worth more than the considerable prices I paid. But there are no others of many of these items (eg. eddie shore’s jersey from his estate from the first NHL all star game after he hit Ace Bailey in the head).so it’s still mine to look at and enjoy. You really “feel” the history of the game with memorabilia moreso than cards (collect those too of course). |

But in all honesty, I think Hunts' latest live auction put a temporary "hold" on the infamous memorabilia drought. |

In the last 5 years I have gotten some incredible pieces of memorabilia from Hunts. Frequently for better prices than I thought. Let others complain about the website and refuse to look at their auctions. Wish there were more of those folks.

Look at Goldins latest auction and sort by highest price first. Card guys are ridiculous.

Even REA is incredibly light on memorabilia in their current auction. It's nothing like it was even 5 - 10 years ago. I believe people are holding on to the rare/unique memorabilia for the long-term, whereas there are many more "flipper/investors" in the card world.

In light of how light most AHs are on memorabilia these days, I've particularly amazed about all the amazing stuff Hakes gets. Their Negro League memorabilia alone has been off the charts great this year. So great I haven't been able to afford any of it. But amazing.

I am one of the back in the hobby guys and have been buying more type 1 photos, some tickets and an assortment of vintage cards. That said for me the market is for me what I am willing to pay and I am either going to lose or win in the long run, but at least I bought what I liked.
