Historic Auctions Has Not Still Clarified

Re: Historic Auctions Has Not Still Clarified

Did anyone get any satisfactory answers explaining the numerous questionable items that were listed in Historic Auctions? It seems there was a great deal of controversy with their last auction. Have they addressed any of these issues? I was looking to bid on a few of their listings, but was scared off because the authenticity of many items was questioned. It seemed that Eric had many things to say about them. Did they ever really address your concerns? I am really curious to hear from people who won any lots. Thanks.

Re: Historic Auctions Has Not Still Clarified

I have had the same problems with Historic Auctions responding to e-mails. I have sent them over half a dozen questions about two Jerseys they had up for auction that they did not respond to so I called them directly.

One of the questions I put forth to them was if they would allow another opinion as it pertains to the Jersey before I paid for it if in fact I was the winner of the Jersey. I mentioned a few companies that I would like to get an opinion from but they said no to all of them and then suggested ASI and Brad Wells because of his "great expertise". When I found out he had an interest in the company I called them and left a message for the person I had spoken with before and indicated I head about Mr. Wells involvement with their company and would like them to clarify but amazingly enough never received a return call.

Forum Readers:

I could not help but notice this "Griffey Rookie" jersey currently being offered:

Not only is it the incorrect size (I don't think Griffey has worn a size 40 since high school!), the description about him having "JR." on the back is even better! Griffey did not wear Jr. on the back of his shirts with the Mariners, in 1989, 1990.....EVER!

How about the Rawlings tag? 1989 shirt with a 1990+ tag.

Regardless, rest easy as it does have a rock solid LOA!

As I always say, do your own homework and wipe your rear with the LOA's.
