Crazy Uncle's Presidents Day Auction Bid Now - Ends March 15th

HARRISON, New York: Feb 21, 2020 – Crazy Uncle Auctions Presidents’ Day Auction launches with fanfare and excitement. The auction is being heralded as one the greatest assemblies of Presidential memorabilia ever collected for one sale. This sale which runs until a 6:00pm EST close on Sunday, March 15th features signed items from all 45 Presidents in the history of the United States, and in most cases multiple signed items, an item from every US Vice President and each Founding Father of the Nation including a spectacular very rare Benjamin Franklin signed document and an unbelievably rare Teddy Roosevelt signed photograph graded PSA 10 Gem Mint.
https://crazyuncleauctions.com/

The baseball card selection is not to be overlooked when drooling over the museum-worthy historical pieces. Last auction, Crazy Uncle set a record high price on the sale of a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle rookie and this offering is even better!! The roster of cards includes; 1934 Goudey Lou Gehrig #61 (PSA 8 NM-MT), 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311 – Rookie (PSA 2.5 GOOD+), 1939 Play Ball Mel Ott #51 (PSA 9 MINT), 1953 Bowman Mickey Mantle (PSA 8 NM-MT), 1956 Topps Hank Aaron #31 (PSA 9 MINT), 1956 Topps Willie Mays #130 (PSA 9 MINT), 1959 Topps Willie Mays #50 (PSA 9 MINT), 1960 Topps Willie Mays #200 (PSA 9 MINT) and more…

We must mention the dozens of 1914 and 1915 graded Cracker Jack cards, the huge selection of 1932 US Caramel cards including Ruth, Cobb, Bobby Jones and more!!! There is a scarce 1915 Zeenut Fred McMullen for as well as the complete set of 1919 W514 cards including Ruth, Cobb, Shoeless Joe Jackson and his expelled “Black Sox” teammates in the only set featuring the banned players truly from 1919.

There are tickets to all of the games of the 1919 World Series, the 1932 World Series including Babe Ruth’s Called Shot and his final World Series Game as well as tickets from historic home runs by Ruth, Gehrig, and Mantle there is a ticket to Roberto Clemente’s final game.

If autographs are your thing do not miss the single signed baseballs from 20 of the 21 pitchers to ever throw a perfect game including Cy Young and Charles Robinson… wow! We are offering single signed baseballs from nearly a dozen US Presidents including Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump and more… even a ball signed by three US Presidents!!!

The auction also has PSA Graded autographs and checks from the likes of Thomas Edison, Charles Dickens, Orville Wright, Charles Lindberg, Mark Twain, Harry Houdini, and General Custer, just to name a few of the historical figures you will find among the stars of sport.

Uh, any schoolboy/schoolgirl knows that the 1952 Topps Mantle is not his Rookie Card (lot #6).

Too bad. Need to know how to run a business before doing so.

Aaron, I personally have nothing against you and have not bid in any auction that you have run that I am aware of. As a bystander though, these are my observations. Since the last auction you have made exactly 5 posts on this board, 3 of which were in this thread and 2 were in BST transactions. You never once made any attempt to admit to the issues, apologize for them, or provide feedback on what you are doing to address them going forward. Yet you want the board member to simply give you another shot just because you have great items? Quite frankly, this is the definition of the saying stuff trumps all. So what have you learned from the last auction? That it is fine to still post lots without pictures? What are you doing different now? Here is another chance for you to address all the issues out in the open and to put your customers minds at ease in hope of restoring confidence in your company.

For anyone not aware of the previous auction issues, here is a link to an old thread: https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=276022

Why do you keep ducking those questions? In my opinion, doing so sure doesn't scream transparency, honesty, integrity and good leadership.

I've never bid in any of your auctions, and with your continuing desire to avoid legitimate questions that any normal bidder would have, it is highly unlikely I ever will.

Default back scans

My complaint is the lack of back scans. I just looked at a US Caramel Cobb and and US Caramel Ruth. Neither had back scans. Am I just buying the front of the card?

Not sure if this was a sarcastic response, but DJ's post is spot on. I looked at the auction last week. Some terriific items, no doubt, but nothing I could really use. Given the lack of acknowledgement of the problems and an enumeration of the steps you're taking to mitigate them, I wouldn't have bid anyway.

Why wouldn't you just take a few minutes and address the debacle that was the last auction? I haven't looked at the auction and wouldn't unless you explain why people should believe this one will be handled better. I'm honestly really shocked this is still a company after that. Seems like a no-brainer that you have to answer some questions and explain what happened if you want any customers.

Agree with other posters. Finding time to come on here and make sarcastic remarks while ignoring legitimate questions about your previous auction does not make me think anything has changed with your company.

Perhaps Crazy Uncle's Auctions has decided to imitate the Hunt Auctions model.

Thanks so much for all of your comments.

I would like to point out that I have been a Net54 member long before I was ever an advertiser or even professionally involved in auctions. My membership was always based on being a collector and my love of pre-war baseball.

In an effort to quiet the storm, I will explain what happened and why people should believe this auction will be handled better.

During the last live auction there were some lots that did not have images and after the conclusion of the sale poor customer communication and the delay in shipping of some orders was a problem for us.

Inopportunely, one or more of the customers who experienced a problem is a Net54 member and they decided to take to the board with their issues.

As such, the members of this community have been exposed to Crazy Uncle Auctions from the vantage point of a person (or persons) who were dissatisfied with the sale or portions of the process.

Please note that this negative experience was not the case for the majority of customers. Most people have reported back to us that they had positive experiences and many have reached out to find out about upcoming sales.

Prior to the first sale we were understaffed and launched without all of our images to the dissatisfaction of all. After the sale, there was a shipping issue with some of the orders because of a shipping software problem and our order packer was involved in a car accident that furthered the delay, but the orders did get out and to their new owners.

We have taken note and remedied the problem by hiring more staff and they are working out great. This small group of experienced shipping and high volume warehouse people can more than handle the job at hand.

Thank you, I hope that this helps to establish a little trust here and if you should choose to participate in the auction I welcome your business and we will do everything we can to provide the best customer service we can.

Also, thank you to Leon for allowing me the platform to advertise to this network.

*It was noticed that some of the cards in the auction do not have back images – we did lose a large number of pictures right before launch due to files becoming corrupted – the majority of those files were card back images. We will get them up as fast as we can – in the meantime if there is a card where you need to see the back right away email us at info@crazyuncleauctions.com and someone will get you the picture you desire.

All of them which are highlighted are graded cards. They aren't altered as far as I know. None are mine.
