Re: Sid Luckman jersey auction

Did anyone save the original photos from the original eBay listing (not from AMI)?

Re: Sid Luckman jersey auction

Wow what a great story to see a jersey go from start to finish. I do wonder how the seller felt at the end of this though.

Ditto. I wonder how many weeks/months/years/decades will pass before he sees a check.

or presidential terms?

If the consignor wants the AMI Playbook for excuses as to why he's not getting paid...it would make for an interesting thread

But I guarentee you that the buyer got called by 9 the monring after the auction for payment

Hopefully the seller will post again and describe his experience with all this...

After 20% - $50,000.

What in the world is a 20% buyers premium and how does anyone get away with it?

I am going to start my own auction house and charge 20% someday, but for now...

Re: Sid Luckman jersey auction

I am going to guess roughly $40,000!

Re: Sid Luckman jersey auction

Current bid is $25K with over a week to go.

Who wants to make a prediction on final price now that you have all agonized over the item's flaws (paint, lack of game use, number change, unwanted boob contact, etc)

My guess is $60K, but I claim no great expertise here.

I've seen that a couple of times before, and each time I swear that the number underneath is 69. In fact, it seems fairly obvious. A 0 wouldn't have a bar through the middle of it, and it wouldn't have an obvious stop on a vertical bar. The fact that the second number looks like a flipped 6 (thus, a 9) adds to it.

Re: Sid Luckman jersey auction

BTW....The jersey Sid Luckman is wearing on the cover (and inside) of the AMI auction catalog is NOT the one that they are auctioning. It is not the same jersey as you can see the difference quite easily. The one they are auctioning has a greater distance between the collar and the top of the number. The one Sid is wearing has the top of the numbers only about a half inch to an inch away from the collar.

Please note.....This is not to say that the jersey isn't legit.....It's just not the same one he is wearing in the photo.

Re: Sid Luckman jersey auction

That is pretty cool and it has a great story to go with it.

Now if only they can have a story like that one to go with the Sid Luckman.

Did the guy who asked for our advice who owns the Sid Luckman tell us if he got his requested terms of being paid in a prompt period of time, etc. from American Memorabilia?

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.

I assume AMI offered these type of terms to be sure they received this item. Now, I guess they just have to pay on time. I just figured the consignee would disclose to us if he received such terms and does he still feel safe after reading all the posts about AMI on that other forum I previously linked.

I think since making a deal with AMI the owner of this jersey in discussion has really kept quiet on this forum. This maybe someone at AMI told us about how evil this forum is?

Evil to some equals honest to others.

Re: Sid Luckman jersey auction

Man oh man, to some, it may have lost some value due to the fact the blondie is displaying the jersey. I didnt care to see it. The girl, ok, I did. But not her wearing the jersey. That was a bit of a shock to see that they even let her put it on.

I don't have a problem with it, BUT I have to admitt I'd prefer to see her without it on. Without any jersey that is!

Re: Sid Luckman jersey auction

Guarantee you, come pay day, he won't care if those girls wiped their a$$es with that jersey......and pay day is coming, BIG TIME.

Re: Sid Luckman jersey auction

Nah.

Won't have any effect, whatsoever, on the final value of that jersey or any jersey for that matter. Some guys make too big a deal of AM's models posing in the items for sale. You've no idea how many fat, out-of-shape sports collectors have tried on the majority of these items over the years. I've yet to see any damage caused by a 110-pound model's young, perky set of boobs on a game worn jersey.

Minor indignities.......very minor.

What a person/owner of a jersey does with their property is up to them. With that said, does American Memorabilia own the jersey? No they don't so, whether perky boobs are involved or not, they should and I am sure they do take care on how they handle someone else's property.

Maybe, Victor asked the owner of the jersey if the jersey could be worn by one of his models? I don't know if he did or didn't but the owner of the jersey is a member of this forum. Maybe he'll comment on how the jersey was displayed? If he doesn't mind, I guess it would be a moot point.
