The commerce part of this platform has a chance to be revolutionary.

Youth sport uniforms and apparel have, for the most part, not seen change since the 1980s.

Finding the right auction house is key.

For consignors, it can be the difference between thousands of dollars.

Two 'niche' auction houses, Prestige Memorabilia and Golden Age, are betting that they can compete by focusing on a single sport 👇

A beautiful eBay win for some, I assume, Yankees fan tonight. Bucky Dent signs “F’N” under his signature.

The Sheri Berto memorial band is a unicorn for high level game worn collectors.

The band does not fully go across the mesh similar to game images from the 92 Finals, so it is definitely not that jersey.

To this day, a photomatched MJ from this season has NOT surfaced.

In the 90s, the Chicago Bulls charities were selling game-used, signed Michael Jordan jerseys for $5,000.

This was at the FestaBulls event in May 1992. I’m gonna guess this MJ jersey is worth about $1M today.

When Lawrence Taylor was 24, and he fighting with the Giants, Donald Trump gave him $1M to play for the Generals five years later (in 1988).

The Giants wound up paying Trump back and the Generals of course weren’t around by 1988.

But LT knew Trump at 24.

Great read.

Starbucks is now a bank. And as the bank gets bigger, mobile orders get bigger, which means people who show up and don’t participate have to wait longer.

Jobs says he doesn’t sign autographs.

And then signs the letter 🤣

The letter sold in 2021 at RR Auction for $479,939.
