@darrenrovell Most collectors of Washington-level items buy proper documents and letters as opposed to an encapsulated cut, which would be the bottom level Washington item attainable, regardless of a subjective “grade”

Surprised Washington is still so cheap as there is so much awareness around history with America's 250th coming up. Worst Washington cut is around $6,000, best is $30,000. Next five years, that delta is going to widen like a PSA 1 and a PSA 10.

@darrenrovell So even if he buys it for 11,000 then, he’d be thrilled with 13-15 and he’d be out of it. Tonight’s price isn’t relevant. The first Lincoln autograph I ever bought was at Christie’s around 2007 - I paid somewhere around $2,100. It was a different field compared to today.

@ShafColl There was a comp for $13,000 four years before and it was in worse condition,

Rick Harrison had the chance to buy the most pristine George Washington signed Mountain Road Lottery ticket for $11,000 in 2010. A lesser version sold tonight for more than triple that.

This doc is signed by Chester Nimitz as Commander of the Pacific Fleet for Fred Gretsch Jr - who left his family’s music business to serve in WWII. Before I offer it on my site, I’m trying to find @fredgretsch or @DinahGretsch to see if they’re interested. Please reach out if so

@NYIslanders Starting with Sbisa, Dal Colle & Wahlstrom at $800+ is simply awful marketing. Those are bargain bin guys - you have 100s of others to choose from. And need more pics. Set dates? You have an audience looking to buy but this isn’t it.

You’ve seen the moments and the players. Now own the gear. Introducing Islanders Game Originals! Check it out: bit.ly/4mz3tmz

@darrenrovell @NYIslanders The worst roll out of a game worn program ever. Pent up demand for a team without a program for years - and this beginning was awful.

Stepping it up for @NYIslanders fans this year!

@darrenrovell Great story but a few wins at a 1000 doesn’t make it a run for the ages.

One of the most insane runs in tennis history… Terence Atmane was No. 136. Beat two top 10s in Fritz & Rune. Playing Sinner next. Has no agent, no clothing deal. One sponsor. Entered the year with $625K in career career singles earnings. Has made $332K in Cincy alone!

New arrival! Teddy Roosevelt writes to former First Lady Frances Cleveland concerning a Dante book that she accidentally left at the White House!

An incredible season has ended for Max. I asked him what his favorite goal was & this is the 1 he loved the most-it’s not the prettiest of goals but it had 2 things: 1 - it was his 1st goal scored in Colorado 2 - he scored it against the Alma Mater of his idol @Thomas_Hickey14

@cllctMedia @darrenrovell It’s a category of collectibles not many people know you can sometimes obtain. Here’s the 2015 US Open Women’s Finals flip coin from my collection.

A SUPER PICKUP 🪙 The coin flipped in Super Bowl LIX sold for nearly $20K on Tuesday night.

@darrenrovell Ex-Forbe’s Collection and originally sold at Christie’s in 2002. They’ve been seen by many who know what they are looking at.

This Day in 1865: President Abraham Lincoln is assassinated by John Wilkes Booth at a performance of Our American Cousin at Ford’s Theatre. Two tickets from the play sold for $262,500 in September 2023. They have not been seen by ticket authenticators at PSA or Beckett.

Thrilled & honored to offer 2 of the rarest Harry Truman items we have ever handled (let alone seen!) Typed letter signed - dated 4/12/45 - the day FDR died & Truman unexpectedly ascended to the Presidency. Handwritten manuscript on bottom of a printed Abraham Lincoln quote.

@Thomas_Hickey14 @NYIslanders @NYRangers Thanks for being so nice to Brody! Another #14 in the collection!

What a weekend! @NYIslanders know how to take care of their alumni. Outstanding And props to the @NYRangers for coming together for a great cause.

@darrenrovell @IconicAuctions @PSAcard Nice document but not complete and more favorable when Badge of Merit is present at bottom.

An incredible item sold last night at @IconicAuctions for $23K. George Washington would personally sign all discharge papers to personally thank soldiers for their fight. This one, slabbed by @PSAcard, is among the best conditioned, including a bold Washington autograph.

@darrenrovell @LensCrafters Candace Brightman was long-time lighting director for GD and JGB. This is payment for her work at Warfield JGB shows 2 weeks earlier.

@ShafColl @LensCrafters Great one. Any story?

New check into my collection: Jerry Garcia buying glasses at @LensCrafters

Hey @Wkalynuk17 - my 2 boys would like to get this in your hands as it belongs with you, not us. Please let me know if we can arrange it. @WolfPackAHL

Let’s go @nyknicks - fun night out with the boys! #nykmsg

Please help: lost wallet at Disney Boardwalk tonight - 12/28. Was on a surrey bike between 9:20-9:40. Did full lap so could be anywhere. Desperate for help. Thank you. @WDWNT @AllEarsNet @Disney @DisneyFoodBlog @WaltDisneyWorld #disney

@darrenrovell To be fair, the lot included all the other Signers at the 1.4 price.

What’s the most valuable signature on the Declaration of Independence? John Hancock? Nope, it’s Button Gwinnett. One of his signatures just sold for $1.4 million. instagram.com/p/Cfm5Viwr6pu/…
