Cobb, Chamberlain Lead Legendary’s March Sale Results

(From Tom Bartsch Sports collectors Digest) – Legendary Auctions has announced that its March sales delivered the results it had promised – and then some. The sale, which included over 2,800 lots of high-end Sports and Americana collectibles, included the first major installment of the Chad Drier Collection – the hobby’s largest private offering since the Halper Collection.

“The success of our March auction really sets the stage for what we expect to be an exciting year for our buyers, consignors and the hobby as a whole,” said Doug Allen, CEO and president of Legendary Auctions. “With the exception of the initial private-treaty sale, this was just the beginning of what the Dreier Collection has to offer and doesn’t even take into account our normal assembly of outstanding material and some great surprises we have in store for our Live Auction event this summer.”
