Anyone have an impression on the legitimacy especially of autographed items from the Hunt Internet auctions?

If you are talking about Hunt Auctions Inc, they have a very strong reputation as a sports auction house. Joe DiMaggio's family chose Hunt to auction Joe's collection after he died, and Hunt wouldn't have a very strong reputation if they were a perveyer of bogus memorabilia including autographs.

Never had a problem with Hunt's in many transactions.

I've always had good experiences, and they seem like nice people when I've spoken with them at the National.

I've known David Hunt personally for 10 years. His honesty and integrity far outweighs any other auctioneer I have ever met, whether in sports memorabilia or general antiques.

One great story that illustrates David's integrity: After the Friday session of his two day auction, we were chatting about a few of the pieces and how they did. I mentioned in particular an oddball Phillies piece (David always gets extremely strong money for Phillies stuff due to his base in Pennsylvania) that I thought received strong money at $500.00. David then pulled out his book and showed the left bid that he had...$5,000.00. Instead of lamenting what could have happened, David commented on how happy his customer would be.

From my dealings with them - in person - on the telephone..... they are good people.

Based on my many dealings over many years with Hunt Auctions and David Hunt, I can vouch that they comport with the highest standards of honesty and integrity.

I have consigned items to them before and I can also highly recommend them for any memorabilia be it cards, autographs, jerseys etc. Friendly and very professional.

A more easily navigable website for their auctions would be nice, but definately a reputable auction house.

Thumbs up! But, as Jim mentioned, their site could be easier to navigate.

Am I the only one that thinks their site is rather easy to navigate? It has a search function, you can look at auctions 100/page, and you can look at a list of items you've bid on. I don't have any problems navigating Hunt's.

I think from a site perspective, it would be a big improvement to be able to scroll through pics like Mastro, rather than reading each and every lot and clicking one at at time.

Bought from them a few times; no problems, quick shipments and good service. I do agree with some others about their website i.e. I do not like the inability to scroll through photo's or sort data based on bid amounts etc. That certainly does not keep me from bidding and winning on ocassion.

Thanks for the reply. I will likely bid on a few items from them.

They are one of the few auction houses that don't authenticate through PSA/DNA or JSA that I'll buy from, and am one very happy bidder there! I do wish the listings were a bit easier to navigate though.

I've been dealing with Hunt Auctions (live and internet auctions) for years and never a problem. I've dealt with cards only, though.

As both a consignor and bidder, I feel they are top-notch, with none better. Hunt is as reputable as they come, and pays consignors within 30 days without fail.

I actually like their website... the completed auctions search function is one of the best, with the ability to reference items as far back as the year 2000.
