GFC Who got what?

Re: GFC Who got what?

I was high bidder on the 1944 Muddy Ruel White Sox uniform and was surprised that it did not go for higher. I also picked up the shared Nyman/Ortiz flannel gamer, which I found to be cheap vis-a-vis my maximum bid. Lost out though on the Powell Yankees hat from the late 1930's, really wanted that since it shared the same dugout with Gehrig and Dimaggio.

As of about 5 years ago that Muddy Ruel uniform had the Stars and Stipes patch on the sleeve. Someone bought it, removed the patch and put it back in an aution. That stuff drives me nuts!

I blew the budget on the Schalk 44 Sox jersey since that style is impossible to find.

Re: GFC Who got what?

I won the 1980 San Diego Padres John D'Acquisto jersey. I was the only bidder. Was pleased as to the condition, as I never seem to find the white home ones from this era in non-altered type condition, and it fit within my budget. Interestingly enough, it was my first experience bidding on an auction house site. I was impressed with the GF customer service when I registered.

Interesting on the Show going for so much. On a side note, I sent Eric Show a 1984 Topps card in the mail that he signed for me back in the late 1980s. He signed it to me, along with "In Jesus Name" and a Bible verse. Shame about him passing so young from drugs.

I got the Mariano Rivera autographed home plate. My wife and I went to the 2 last games at Yankee Stadium and saw Rivera pitch and pick up the win. I would have liked to have gotten something from the very last game, but the things I would have liked were too expensive so the home plate from the next to last game was the next best I could get. And a little piece of history.

Re: GFC Who got what?

The price for the NBA stuff were just crazy, EXPECT for the MJ items. That 92 jersey should be around 8-10k and it went for much less. And the rookie gamer went for only 15k (i doubt the authenticity on that one though, and i think bidders felt the same).

I bid on the Kobe short shorts around 1am cst and my max bid ended up being outbid by one unit. It happens to me EVERY gfc auction - someone goes one increment higher!

I feel bad for whoever bought the 93 Shaq AS jersey because its 100% NOT game worn. I've got the game on tape and still shots of shaq at the free throw line - the nba logo near the collar is way off. Oh well, if buyer didn't do his research then too bad.

Re: GFC Who got what?

I was stunned how people overpaid on several lots. By overpayed I do not mean that "it is not worth that" like people like to argue back and forth about on here I mean in relation to the same items that are currently or were recently available from the consigning company. The Steiner Romo jersey sold for more than those available on Steiner's site currently are going for. I checked the game log and he did not even throw a TD that game so I am unsure why one would pay a premium. The Peterson GI jersey went for $700 more than the one JO is currently offering on its site for. The Sanchez GI jersey went for almost three grand JO had one on their site that did not sell for several weeks for a grand. Also how did the auction run all night? You could only bid on lots you had bid on before after 9pm est, were people really up all night entering new bids? Why not just enter your max and go to bed?

It was more than I wanted to pay, I was thinking maybe Steve Mears was bidding on this. Just glad it didn't go much higher.

Re: GFC Who got what?

I don't know what GF was doing. I was the high bidder on a lot at 9pm and at 9:30pm I was still the high bidder and the auction was in extended bidding, then at 9:45 I got outbid. I thought that if the no one bid on the auction for 10 minutes after 9pm the auction is over??

I made that mistake when I first got into this hobby a few years back. lol

There was something I wanted desperately & stayed up until 6am doing nothing but refreshing the page to see if anybody had outbid me & watching Terminator 1,2 & 3. lol
I went to bed at around 6am feeling that there was no way anybody who originally bid on the item would outbid me now.
Woke up a few hours left to see that I had lost the item. lol

That is unfortunate, wonder where it ended up?....I guess that made it affordable for me, though.....LOVE the Schalk jersey, btw......saw it when it hit ebay a few months ago.....

Re: GFC Who got what?

Ben, you picked up that Larkin bat?!?!? Many I put in those final bids to get to where it was the day before and could not believe somebody else wanted a Larkin that bad also. After a month of waiting for that bat, I let go last night.

Did end up with a consolation price of the Barry Larkin road jersey.

I do hate taking out another forum member, but that one was my main target. Just an unusual bat offering for him, IMO.

Glad to hear you snagged the jersey though!

I was the underbidder to GF in that ebay auction so I knew it would be popping up again.
