💸What’s Reggie’s Heisman worth?
Rules prohibit Reggie Bush from selling, but experts told cllct the trophy could fetch massive sums.
👀 What we’re watching
🖋️ The autograph of your dreams
Heritage has this Jimmie Foxx card ending over the weekend. The estimate was set at $6,000 and it’s already blown by that with over a day remaining. The card’s condition grade would normally warrant something in the range of $300, but the perfect 10 signature (one of just two signed examples and the single-highest graded among them) caught our attention.
🚢 Titanic watch could reach $200,000
John Jacob Astor IV was a well-known, wealthy member of the famed Astor family, who died during the sinking of the titanic. His body was recovered over a week later, miraculously in “perfect condition” without bruising. The watch was restored after its retrieval and has since become a staple of Titanic memorabilia lore. It closes this weekend at Henry Aldridge.
💳️ O.J.’s credit card to fetch thousands
A Bank of America card issued to O.J. Simpson is set to sell Thursday night at Goldin. Likely one of, if not the, last credit cards owned by Simpson (expiration date: January 2023), the consignor purchased the card on eBay for $59.99 in July 2023. Unsurprisingly, they are using Simpson’s recent death in the hopes of providing a catalyst to boost the sale.
🗞️ Should I get my cards graded?
If you've never had anything graded, the process can be intimidating. Cllct is here to walk you through it.
Maybe you found a shoebox of cards in the attic and want to know what it's worth. Maybe you've collected for decades, and your best stuff is in binders or screw-downs. Maybe you've got one grail, and you're dreaming that it's a 10.
Figuring out whether to grade a card is a big issue for novice collectors. Grade a card that isn’t worth it, and you might be paying more to grade it than it's worth.
And if you've never done it, the grading process can be a bit intimidating.
Here are some basic tips from the cllct team to give everyone, including beginners, the confidence to authenticate and grade their collection.
📧 Ask cllct
The cllct team is constantly getting texts, emails and DMs asking for help valuing, storing and selling collectibles. In our cllct mailbag, we'll be answering questions from readers — not only to help them, but also to provide a resource for the broader community.
Today's mailbag question comes from Eric Goodman, who sent a DM on Twitter asking about the value of two signed Sports Illustrated magazines. One was Michael Jordan's first appearance on the cover of Sports Illustrated in 1983 and the other was his first appearance as an NBA player in December 1984 ("A Star is Born").
🕹️ The collector's item that shouldn't exist
Despite being one of the world’s most popular video games, Fortnite is an incredibly rare and valuable collectible. How could a game owned by 450 million people be so rare?
