"Life Used" Items

Re: "Life Used" Items

Funny thought too....at Yankees fantasy camp in January, I almost picked up one of Darryl Strawberry's dugout smoked cigarette butts.

Everybody's collecting parameters are a little different from everybody else's. Personally, I would draw the line at a cigarette butt or a discarded piece of gum, but there are a couple of players whose dugout-used paper cup or bubble gum wrapper I can see myself squirreling away. I can certainly see where other people would consider that kind of thing really odd, bordering on creepy, though. Not jockstrap-creepy, at least...

Re: "Life Used" Items

I got an email a few weeks ago from some auction place, offering for sale a huge list of items that hadn't sold at auction, and many of them were advertised as being from the estate of Cy Young. I sent them an email right away, offering to buy several items, including at least one of the estate items, one of those big old-fashioned door keys, and I never heard back from them.

Anyway, I recall that I also have a couple of R.J. Reynolds items - his high school letter jacket, and a gold-colored, monogrammed metal card case with a couple of Japanese bills in it.

I bet it was Historic Auctions. They had a bunch of his.....

Yeah, it was Historic Auctions, as a matter of fact. It looks like the key from the Cy Young estate is gone now, but they still have a few of his items. They have eight pages of "zero bid" items, but they don't seem to be too responsive to people who want to buy them. I guess I'll email them again, but I'm not holding my breath.
