As the title suggests, this auction features items from the personal collections of both home run king Barry Bonds and Mr. October Reggie Jackson. These of course include items from those player’s careers, but also items they owned, like Jackson’s 1953 game-used Jackie Robinson bat and his 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 Convertible.
Non-sports make up a large percentage of the auction beyond the two superstar collections. These include a 2017 Fleer Ultra Spider-Man Marvel Precious Metal Gems complete set, a rare 1998 Pokemon Japanese Promo Holofoil Illustrator Pikachu in PSA 7, and a Circa 1990 Original Bob Ross 18 x 24 Oil Painting, just to name a few.
This auction doesn’t have many cards in it, but has plenty of memorabilia, including game-used. Plus comics and video games, and more.
