One of the drawbacks to spending so much time on the renovation of the new MEARS Corporate Research and Conference Center is that we have not been able to update the Bushing and Kinunen MEARS For Sale sight with the same regularity as in the past. This should not be taken as a sign that we are not actively acquiring new inventory all the time. Below is just a small sample of the items we have to finish processing before they become available on the site.

In addition to offering items outright, based on our experience and reputation in the hobby, we are also able to help collectors find items they have been looking for at length with little success. Dave Bushing recently helped a collector find jerseys to round out his collection of Baseball Hall of Famers that included:

1971 Cincinnati Reds Tony Perez #24 Home Game Worn Jersey

1924/26 Detroit Tigers Charlie Gehringer Home Game Worn Jersey

1937 New York Giants Carl Hubbell #11 Road Game Worn Jersey

1936 Detroit Tigers Goose Goslin #11 Home Game Worn Jersey

1946 Boston Red Sox Ted Williams #6 Game Worn Home Jersey

In addition to all this, with our exposure to and reputation among collectors who value MEARS evaluated products, we also represent a viable and affordable alternative to sending your items to auction through our consignment program or purchases outright.

How do we know collectors are looking to MEARS for their collecting needs? In the past week alone we have seen this sales related activity on our site:

For Sale Items: 7,573 hits

For Sale Results: 5,288 hits

This same period of time has shown just over 46,000 page views for the site at large from almost 30 different countries around the world. Collectors are looking to MEARS for product and information and we are equally happy about both.

If your looking for something special or have something special others are looking for, we’d love to hear from you.
