is. Whether it is auction or private sale, MEARS Auctions will get you top
dollar.

For example, we are paying $1,000,000+ for an all original, New York Yankees game
worn Babe Ruth jersey. Another example, paying up to $100,000 for a Bill Terry
New York Giants game worn jersey. MEARS Auctions is paying up to $100,000 for a
1920s Tony Lazzeri New York Yankees game worn jersey. This is just a small
sample of what we are seeking right now. Contact us with your rare items.

MEARS Auctions wants your game used bats, game worn jerseys, autograph collections,
program/yearbooks, complete collections, and more. We have an aggressive
customer base for all types of collectables.
