The MEARS November Auction ended with strong prices realized on all lots, and we
are now aggressively seeking consignments for our final December sales event.
Last year December was our best month of the year, and we expect bigger results
this year. Act now to be a part of this big end of the year auction.
Highest prices realized for the right stuff. If you haven’t seen many Cobb, Mantle,
Maris, Gehrig, DiMaggio game worn jerseys in our auctions, it is because we
have bought and sold them privately. The great stuff never makes it to auction.
We have so many high end customers right now, even we don’t know what top value
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.
Consignors will be happy to note that all MEARS grading fees will be waived for this
auction. This is a real value (fees range from $200 – $2,500+). Cash advances
available, quick consignor payment. All published prices are actual, documented
sales.
Remember, we also want your items valued at $500 or greater. Collections of all sized
too!
