As always, Mastro Auctions’ holiday sale, which ended last night, turned lots of heads in the sports memorabilia hobby circle. I have to admit, I thought some of the Colgan’s Chips cards, including the awesome Jim Thorpe would sell for more than the $43,247 it ended at.
Maybe people are saving money for the Joe Jackson Colgan’s card that Mastro will sell next year, or it could be that the market is a little down during this holiday season … Not sure.

The 1952 Topps set went for $132,850 … It was a stunner for sure.

The Black Sox documents went for a staggering $83,283 amd an early career Ted Williams cap sold for $60,597.

Tomorrow is the last day of Memory Lane’s auction, and Premier has its sale ending on the 20th of December. That will pretty much wrap up all the auctions of 2007. It was a memorable year for vintage collectibles. to say the least. The good stuff seems to never dry up. I can’t wait ‘til next year’s Spring sales.

Better start saving right now!
