Thinking about putting two items up, Stan Musial flannel 67 and Daryl Spencer flannel 56. They are really one of a kind.

Wonder if I get the best final price from auction, or continuing to use our Forum to find buyer who gets the value and will pay for it?

Comments, and Dave, if you are out there, chime in

My only concern is that the C2C section limits sale prices to $500 or less, and both items would be likely to be valued higher.

If GUU ever resumes their auctions, the exposure wouldn't be as widespread as eBay, but you'd have more true collectors viewing your items and a lot fewer nickel and dimers.

If GUU doesn't resume, you colud try other auction houses, such as Huggins & Scott, Lelands, or maybe MEARS.

Re: Grey Flannel Spring Auction Is Up!

When bidding on an item in the Grey Flannel auction, is it better to use the ceiling bid option, or manually bid?

Thanks for any info.

Bid manually for as close to the minimum as possible then in the OT bidding bid your ceiling. I say this because you have to bid in regulation to be allowed to bid in ot and if you bid your ceiling in regulation especilly days or weeks in advance it won't hold up so I always say throw as small a bid as possible out there in any lot your interested in early to reserve right to bid in ot.

The Gerald White 1986 Big Ten Championship ring I bid on has been removed from the auction. No details or reason.

One more piece of info.

If you want to bid on any of the Premier Lots, they will want to verify your ability to pay. They did me via a bank account. Not sure if they have other ways.

Re: Grey Flannel Spring Auction Is Up!

I've looked through the Grey Flannel FAQs, but couldn't find anything.

Are there hidden reserve prices on Grey Flannel items?

Thank you.

no. whatever item sells for is price buyer gets it at plus bp, shipping and tax, where applicable. if yiu bid minimum and noone else bids the items yours. the house does not bid on behalf of its consignors.

Re: Grey Flannel Spring Auction Is Up!

It is a great item. The provenance is directly from Palmeiro himself with his letter. The jersey and pants exhibit great use. I personally have viewed this uniform.

Re: Grey Flannel Spring Auction Is Up!

Anyone with opinions on the Palmeiro Rangers jersey? Good, no good, middle of the road?

Anyone? Would love to hear some input before I make a serious run at it.

Re: Grey Flannel Spring Auction Is Up!

I think some people prefer Ebay because there is no BP and items go for less. For the seller Ebay sucks but for the collector its gold. Obviously one has to do their homework even more because there is much more bad stuff then you would find in a major auction houses auctions but for good stuff its a great place to add to one's collection. Alot of my best stuff is from Ebay and if that stuff was from an auction house I would have had to pay much, much more for it. In fact alot of stuff that originated at major auction houses or NFL Auctions I obtained on Ebay for a fraction of the original price. Given the choice as a high end collector who knows what he is buying I prefer Ebay.

This is pretty much how I feel. As with everything on eBay, as long as know what you're doing it's gold.

Re: Grey Flannel Spring Auction Is Up!

Commando....You should absolutely be able to ask questions about specific items because there are some great resources on here and the Auction Houses don't always get it right. I don't consider that calling anyone out at all.

That being said, from time to time new guys on the Forum will just say things like...."All their stuff is bad" without ever sharing their opinion about what is specifically wrong with an item.....I've noticed a lot more of these comments in the last few weeks on the forum.

In my opinion, If you don't like something, don't be afraid to say it, but you really should be able to be more specific about certain issues that you feel exist with an item.
