Auction Watch: Wheatland Auctions - July 2014
Wheatland Auction Services' July Vintage Sports Cards and Memorabilia Auction is scheduled to close this Sunday, July 20th at 7 PM. Unlike their previous events, all bidding in this month's auction will be conducted online - which could present collectors with an opportunity to pick up a few good deals. Here are a few lots from my personal watch list:
Lot #208 - Philadelphia Eagles and Flyers Album Lot
If you see me at the Philly Show, chances are I will be flipping through an album like this this - looking for a nugget. I enjoy collecting autographs from the Philly teams of the 1970s - and am especially interested to see what might be included for a team-signed project. High bid: $20.
Lot #116 - Joe Morgan Autographed Ball
Morgan was a member of the 1983 NL Champion Phillies, and more importantly the Hall of Fame! Each month Wheatland offers up a number of autographed baseballs - and many times they end up as the best deal in the auction. This ball with the full HOF inscription (authenticated by JSA) is still way under what it would cost to have "Little Joe" sign it in person. High bid: $30.
Lot #148 - Vintage Phillies Items
This lot has the paper that I always seem to pick up - highlighted by the two 1980 posters. But, the real reason to bid on this lot is to get the metal, Phillies logo waste basket. With a current bid of $5, this one has the chance to be a real good deal...
