Hello Everyone,

I'm a long time reader, and just recently signed up. Minus the riff-raff between some of the members here, I enjoy keeping up to date on Game-Used discussions via this site. Thanks for all of the education and knowledge in your respective fields.

Now, on to the discussion. American Memorabilia just opened their most recent auction, and it is LOADED with football game-used items. The Walter Payton, HOLY GRAIL of all game used, jersey has got to be the best. Any guesses on the final price? Lots of old, vintage game-worn stuff. Check it out, and tell us what you think.

"Tell us what you think?????"


Triplexxx, this sure sounds like a promo...Do you work for AMI

Loaded with awesome items?....without looking back through past auctions to verify every item, AMi has auctioned most of these before...very little new material

In fact, I saw a few of the top 5 at their booth at the National 6 months ago, which leads me to believe that they own these items

Compared to their previous "superbowl" auction, I think the quality of the auction has gone right down the tank....probably a direct result of their payment and customer service history

And the Emmitt Smith?....I will revive a thread later with photo's from the Eagle game

Why would you ever have Stan inscribe that on the front of the shirt? I just don't get it. Raifie:eek:

Does anyone see a problem with the 1980's Kareem Laker jersey (Lot 25). It's a given that it has to be a Tiernan and the placement of the label is correct. Can't read it, however. The lettering looks good. I'm sure Lou thinks its perfect, but, I'd like another opinion from someone who actually knows something about game used basketball jerseys

Just an off the wall thought...has anyone ever considered that these items are being placed in there just to get attention? Meaning that while they may be listed in the auction, the invisible reserve is set so high that they really are not ever going to be sold.

There is alot of hype involved in these auctions. From getting people to look at other things when they hear that there is an awesome Payton jersey up there, to people thinking that $10,000 for a Jim McMahon looks like a good deal if they see that Payton jersey going for $80,000. We've all been to that minor league team auction where after seeing what the 1st five nobody jerseys are sold for, we start to think that $500 for a single A non-prospect may not be that bad of a deal.

No, I'm self-employed here. No affiliation with AMI. I was not aware that any of the items were re-listed. I've only seen 3-4 auctions on there and they were the most recent ones. Remember, I am a ROOKIE. However, relisted or not, they sure have some nice stuff.

There's another response in here that questions the reserve prices on some of those items. I would hope that the reserves are not set so high that they will never sell, or if they do they will go for some God-awful amount. I also hope they are a legit company, and would never put items on there to help them gain exposure.

Either way, I will keep my eyes open on a few of those items.

i love what they did with the "kirk gibson" helmet. helmet was made in 1990. in '90, #23 was worn by dan petry. in '91, #23 was worn by mark leiter. in '92, #23 was worn by mark leiter. gibson took the number in 1993.

while i absolutely agree that helmets are often used beyond their year of manufacture, i'm curious what evidence AMI has to extend the use of this helmet to 1993 specifically and thus link it to gibson. that is, why is this simply not a mark leiter helmet? did they just keep going until they hit the most lucrative player?

could be the most expensive mark leiter (or dan petry) helmet ever sold.

rudy.

kingjammy24,
Why dont you look up and see what side they batted from. Both Mark Leiter and Dan Petry batted right handed, while Kirk batted left handed. Now i dont know if the helmet is real but i would say their is a better chance that Gibson wore it then Dan or Mark.

Got my Heart set on the Peyton Manning Jersey...

Comes with a coa from the Peyback Foundation, which, from what i've learned, is of good order...

Why would you have him sign it period?

I understand having some game used pieces signed....I own some myself. There is a common sense factor though. I would never ruin a vintage one of a kind jersey like that with ink. Get a photo of Musial holding the jersey and have him sign the photo or something.....geesh.

at least skanks aren't wearing the equipment anymore

The Manning looks nice, but I wouldn't plan on getting a deal on anything you really want with the hidden reserves

That assumes YOU assume everything they offer on the backs of those sexy babes in their catalogues is legit. Prior discussions here, however, would indicate you should NOT assume that.

I assume nothing without having all the info. However, the "skanks" are a nice selling point. If they came with the equipment, legit or not, I'd probably buy more stuff from AMI - LOL!

In all reality, I have always been weary about buying game used unless its handed to me from the player/agent or equip. manager. AMI and their babes make for good forum discussion though.

I am a fairly good judge of character..........and I never mouth off, or say derogatory things to people I don't know.

But.........something smells about this whole thread......

Who is "us"?...you and Col. Rast?

Don't forget, American Memorabilia also shill bids the price up, and plainly states it in their auction rules.

It's a shame you have to bid against the owner and the auction house too.

I personally have no interest in doing that, regardless of what the item is.

Go Ponzi, and to heck with ethics!

"US", as in the other forum member's that might be interested in some of the items or discussing them.

"US", as in the junior members or new-bee's, who would just like to hear what these so called "professionals" here have to say about AMI and their items, before we(the new-bee's) decide to bid on an item.

I think some of you read way too far into my original reason for posting this thread in the first place. There is no rhyme or reason for accusing someone of being a wolf in sheep's clothing. Maybe you should just ask me who I am and why I started this thread. I'd be happy to share!

Thank You. Some of us are here to learn, and gain more knowledge about our respective fields.

1st thread and it took all of 1 reply to go off topic. Why does this happen in all the threads that go past the first page? That makes it real hard to ask serious questions about the whole game-used topic (in fear that you may be accused of being Barrack Obama, or someone, trying to promote.) ITS A SHAME!

I AM HERE FOR THE INFORMATION! - OK, I vented, thanks
