Albersheim’s Recession Blues Sale - Time Sensitive
Albersheims.com got back from the National Sports Collector’s Convention in Chicago a few weeks ago and it was an action packed event. Attendance was way off from past years, but sales were brisk. I don’t think I had a free moment to myself. My theory is that during times of economic uncertainty a lot of collector’s buying habits slow down. However those who apply the theories of the most successful stock picker in the history of the world; Warren Buffet, buy when everyone else is scared. They start selling off and when the market is hot. Smart! So to those daring collectors who are trying to put together a fantastic collection, now is the time to buy. Think about it, you’re going to get better deals during a recession. Since I started collecting in 1981, I’ve personally witnessed several economic cycles.

Heritage Sports News: Spotlight On Catch It While You Can
Heritage Sports - The day of reckoning is near for baseball purists. A different type of ball will be used in the Bronx this off-season, and this one is more destructive than Josh Hamilton in a home run hitting contest. Demolition balls will greet the old stadium, to make way for Heritage Park (no relation), and three ball fields of play: baseball, softball, and Little League. Even the term “stadium” was new for the game of Baseball. Teams usually played in Parks or Fields. The word stadium deliberately evoked ancient Greece, where a stadium was a unit of measure. Even The Coliseum in Rome which was constructed in 70-80 A.D. will outlast “The House That Ruth Built.”

In the “Guide for Prospective Bidders” under the “Jerseys” section, the text lists PSA/DNA as being engaged in the authentication of game used jerseys. This is not the case- PSA/DNA does not offer this service and has not been engaged to perform this function for this auction. This text was printed by mistake. The text for that paragraph should have read:
