Montreal Expos and Hockey fans

How reliable is this auction house? Some real nice stuff but nothing really seems to come with any provenance.

Any thoughts?

Thanks. Andrew

That's one serious Expos collection! Have never seen one that big, anyone into Expos stuff would be amazed!

From what I am told, they are reliable & legit. I've had a few friends buy some hockey items off there & had no problems at all. They mostly deal with high profiles hockey collections, but do have a bit of baseball, football, etc..

That website made the news when they were actioning off the Alan Eagleson hockey collection.

Everyone I have spoken with over on my hockey forum boards swear by them and are very impressed with the auctions.......I wish I could give you first hand knowledge but I can never afford any of the jerseys I want and always get outbid.......but it's fun to watch and I know fellow collectors have always been satisfied.

Classic is the best in the business. They've done player collection consignments of numerous HHOF inductees and always seem to find some amazing stuff.

Last year they had what was presented as a photomatched Bobby Orr Stanley Cup Finals jersey (matched to Orr drinking from the Stanley Cup in the locker room after the game). Orr denied it was his, so the Juteau brothers actually flew Barry Meisel up to Montreal to authenticate it himself. It passed, but the negative publicity from the media (as in "How dare someone question Bobby Orr!") probably cost a decent amount.

That said, if anyone bids on any of the Expos items I'm keeping an eye on, I'll call a divine curse on you.
