Re: American Memorabilia Auctions
I'm glad that I'm not alone in this. I bid on an item in the last auction that had no bids on it right up to the end. I placed a bid and shortly after was outbid, placed a second bid too before being outbid and getting skeptical.
I wonder how many people play the game and keep upbidding themselves to reach these hidden reserves?

Re: American Memorabilia Auctions
Yeah, I dealt with the same crap from them myself. Bid on a pair of cleats, (and I bid my ceiling, so quite a high bid actually). Not a day passed and I was magically outbid! I laugh because there it sits, with that one bid over mine. I guarantee tomorrow it will be listed on there again.

Re: American Memorabilia Auctions
Just about all of the football items and many other items on AMI are owned by forum members...maybe it a good idea to let guys know what you are looking at and they could contact you directly with better pricing when the Auctions end.
AMI (or the computer) will definitely bid to the reserve if that's the type of auction the seller selects.

Re: American Memorabilia Auctions
Hello, this is the first post I've made on this forum, although I've been a member for over a year. I had a recent conversation with American Memorabilia this past weekend regarding a Don Majkowski game used Pro Bowl jersey that they had listed:
http://www.americanmemorabilia.com/A...=0&q=majkowski
I informed them that this could not have been game worn because Majkowski did not play in the game. After I informed them of this, they stated that they would check with their "source" and get back to me. Well, after a day and no phone call, I called them back. The woman I spoke with (didn't get her name) stated that I was probably correct and that it was most likely game issued.
I asked if they were going to end the auction early and relist it since there were already 2 bids. She said no and that they would just change the description.
Well, the auction has ended and as you can see, they didn't pull the auction or even change the description.
I saw a previous thread that showed the manufacturing date codes for Wilson jerseys. This jersey has a code "CZ", which I believe to mean it was made in December 1990, 10 months after the 1990 Pro Bowl, am I not deiphering the code correctly?
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to get in all the info. that I had.

Re: American Memorabilia Auctions
I think your information is correct.
January 27, 1990
"Randall Cunningham, who was named most valuable player of the Pro Bowl last year, will have a chance to duplicate the feat Feb. 4. Cunningham has been chosen to replace quarterback Don Majkowski of Green Bay, who has withdrawn from the game citing personal reasons, a bowl spokesman said yesterday in Honolulu. The Eagles quarterback will play behind the scheduled starter, Joe Montana of San Francisco."
