Re: AAGPBL Kenosha Comets Girls Uniform

I asked the seller if I bid higher than MEARS and won if they would include the model.

You couldn't have won my daughter in the auction. It is against e-Bay rules. Plus, my wife would not have allowed it. And, her boyfriend is in the US Army and he a is a sniper.

I bet Mears is going to go very high on it. Then they will put it on their website and ask a stupid amount for it.

For everyone's information, the Audrey Wagner uniform is now proudly displayed in Cooperstown at the Baseball Hall of Fame. I donated the uniform to them under the stipulation that it be permanently displayed. As virtually no AAGPBL uniforms had sold at auction, trying to determine a value was very difficult. I received one low-ball appraisal and was not satisfied with it as I intended to donate it. So, by listing it on e-Bay, I had concrete proof for an appraiser and the IRS of the minimum worth of the uniform. (Certainly more then the $2,000 appraisal I received.) Donations, if accepted by the HOF, are tax deductible as long as you have a certified appraisal. I was able to get that apprasial with the history of the auction. Now, if the bidding had reached my minimum I would have been in trouble!

You used a reserve auction on ebay to serve as a semi-appraisal for the piece?
