This is how memorabilia is supposed to be displayed. CLICK HERE
The Wisconsin Sate historical Society is commemorating the 1957 World Champion Milwaukee Braves and 1982 AL Champion Milwaukee Brewers in one of the nicest collections of memorabilia ever put together.

Many players in the hobby have been a big part of this project, including Troy Kinunen, Dave Bushing, Mike Fuss, Dave Klug, Paul Tenpenny, Tim Urban and Stephen Wong. Anyone who can make the trip to Madison is encouraged to check this stuff out.


I was bidding in a major auction the other day on an item that really caught my eye. I want to win this thing in the worst possible way, so I decided to put an enormous max bid on it. Then last night I was talking to a pretty big collector and he asked me why I put that max bid on the lot instead of just waiting until the end to bid on it.
His argument was that by putting a max bid on the auction every time someone bids on it, they will be forced to bid again and again and again driving up the price… I always snipe eBay auctions, but when I bid on major auctions I will put max bids on the lots from time to time.

After giving it a little thought, I think my friend was right. I probably shouldn’t bid on a lot until the last day, or last hour for that matter. I guess a major auction is not very different than an eBay auction. Sniping is probably the best solution.

What do you guys think??
