Re: Sid Luckman jersey auction

Hello Javabob123,

You are 1 very lucky person having a jersey like that 1.

I know its hard to resist when every1 and auction houses too are offering $$$ for the jersey.
I look at it this way, why let some1 else have the pleasure of having it in their private collection, where it will only be viewd by their family, friends and any1 that swing by their place.

Your Jersey is Truly a piece of History.
Its should be in the Hall Of Fame, so every1 could view it.

And it's from an Ohio State fan....I hereby vow to hate Ohio State with every ounce of my being from here into the indefinite future!

Oh wait, I already do. And I live in central Ohio!

Since javabob isn't familiar with this "business" it might be a good idea to let him know that you aren't making fun of him with your jokes.

They were simply citing examples of similar things that have actually been done, java.

Why not buy a Brain Urlacher pro-cut jersey, cut it up into 2,000 pieces, place them on Sid Luckman cards, hang your Sid Luckman jersey behind the bar, cash your check and call it good?

Even better. I am envoius.

Then again, I might just put it on display in my den, behind the bar. Nah.

LMAO

Nah.

Here is a GREAT idea. I'm certain that nobody has thought of this one.
Cut the jersey into 1x1 inch squares and stick them onto Sid Luckman football cards. Hand number them to 100 and sell them for $2000 each.

Sell the pieces with white paint on them as "2 color patches" and watch the bidding wars begin.

Re: Sid Luckman jersey auction

I appreciate your feedback, but I can't imagine why I would want to avoid a reputable auction house that is willing (by contract) to pay a large advance, earn a modest commission and be willing to pay the proceeds within 5 business days. The jersey will be exposed to the maximum number of bidders and quite honestly, would be quite entertaining.

Then again, I might just put it on display in my den, behind the bar.

Nah.

Re: Sid Luckman jersey auction

javabob, A very good friend of mine is the foremost collector of NFL QB jerseys in the world. He is missing only 2 QB's, one of whom is Luckman. He is very discreet and does not buy from the auctions....I suggest you try to avoid the auction houses and sell directly to a collector such as my buddy. I can call him and let him know about this, if he does not already (thru one of the dealers looking to make a big buck off him by brokering this piece). If he is interested, then I would simply pass along his phone number to you so that you could deal directly with him....LMK ..thanks and good luck with your piece!

On a somewhat related note, Lenny Moore himself has consigned an early 1960's GU Baltimore Colts jersey to Ironclad Authentics "Legends" Auction in late July...

Re: Sid Luckman jersey auction

A sidenote...would he only have to pay capital gains on the $$ from selling it? Seems like it'd just be straight up income since it's not an investment, thus taxed at a higher rate than CG.

if the seller was engaged in the business of buying and selling items (think the mears store, an antique dealer, power ebayers, etc.) then his profit on the sale of the jersey would be treated as, as you say, "straight up income". but if the seller is someone that wants to simply sell an item that has been in his possession for a long time due to an inheritance, a gift, a past purchase, a discovery, etc. then the profit would be treated as a capital gain - most likely a long-term capital gain. the trick will be establishing a fmv. at least that's my understanding...

javabob123:

here are some big-buck game-used jerseys that have sold at auction during the past few years - imo none are as significant (read valuable) as your jersey...

jim brown - $70,000



johnny unitas - $59,000



ray nitsche - $39,000



johnny unitas - $37,000



johnny unitas - $20,000
