How do you Display Stitches?

Re: How do you Display Stitches?

It will be displayed next to the toilet seat autographed by the Cubs in the back of that location according to the show he was on this morning...

Yes, it will be placed away from people eating at the restaurant. Like the collectible autographed Cubs toilet seat, they decided items like this shouldn't be in plain view from people eating their meals.

Re: How do you Display Stitches?

Thanks everyone for your kind words.

I have been very pleased with how this project has worked for the past three weeks as the press has been very positive for the event. I just sent over $6500.00 to The V Foundation for Cancer Research and I should have another $700-$800 to send them in the next few days once everyone pays for the other 64 lots we auctioned off.

The high bidder, Grant DePorter who is CEO of Harry Caray's chain of Chicagoland restaurants was the high bidder and the Andrew Shaw Stitches Display will proudly be on display at his Navy Pier location.

Andrew Shaw will personally be delivering the stitches the first week of September to Harry Caray's Restaurant.

Charity makes everyone feel better and I can't think of too many better foundations than The V Foundation for Cancer Research. They are self supported now, which means that every dollar donated goes right to cancer research grants! Amazing.

To each there own, but doesn't anyone else think this is ridiculous? Who the heck wants to own stitches!?

Definitely creepy! Over here in this frame are my Game Used Stiches! Sounds even weirder....

Let me be the first to admit that I was wrong. There are people who feel this is a great item.

6500 is a lot of cake. Nicely done for the charity.

It takes a big man to admit when they are wrong.

Well, done with coming up with this (crazy) idea and raising a good chunk of change for cancer research!

Seems like this item will make a pretty penny for the Jimmy V Foundation...

Thanks for providing the link. Wow, what a great display. The piece looks fantastic. And all of the other additional items provided if you win this auction (jersey, pucks, signed photos) not to mention the final bid price is being matched 2 to 1. What a win win.

Congrats Joel! This is a great thing and I hope it brings in well over $5K. And this is coming from a Red Wings fan that despises Shaw and his amazing hockey abilities. Clearly he is an even better person.

Peace!

I don't know anything about ice hockey so I am not really sure of the importance of the moment but the first thing I thought of was Curt Schilling's bloody sock. When I saw it at the hof I thought "that thing must stink". If I remember correctly it sold for almost $100,000.

By the way - apologies for the typos. Heck - I apologize if I offended anyone with my opinion about this subject. I truly hope the auction goes well and will be pleased if it does.

Re: How do you Display Stitches?

not really sure how an item can suck if its helping drive awareness to the charity.. a "regular" item won't do this.

I agree that a regular item (like a signed photo) work drive interest in an auction. Do you think the charity needs more awareness or do people understand that cancer research is a meaningful charity to support? I would say that they need $ and this item ain't gonna fill the coifers I'm afraid.

Re: How do you Display Stitches?

I really wish I had that much time on my hands. Keep beating that dead horse man, you and the others will only be giving that pet rock more and more publicity. Personally I don't judge what others choose to donate to a good cause.

You seem to have exactly the same amount of spare time as I; as you are matching me post for post. I doubt this thread is upping the level of exposure the auction will receive in a meaningful way, but if so, fantastic. It will need all the help it can get to locate more fringe-item collectors to bid on this and to bring in some meaningfully dollars.
