Fritsch just opened up the warehouse!

Just saw the email from Goodwin auctions. REA may not be the biggest selling sports memorabilia auction this year.

Goodwin's next auction will have a portion of the Fritsch collection, including

A sealed case of 1986-87 Fleer basketball.

Sealed wax cases of 1967 (1st series) through 1977 Topps baseball.

Sealed vending cases of 1968 (1st series) through 1976 Topps baseball

Sealed wax boxes of 1963 through 1974 Topps football.

Sealed wax boxes from 1961 through 1979 Topps baseball and 1963 Fleer baseball

Unopened wax packs from 1954 and 1955 Bowman baseball and 1955 through 1977 Topps baseball

Game-worn Milwaukee Braves jerseys from Henry Aaron, Warren Spahn, and Ed Matthews.

Complete 1933 (including Lajoie) and 1934 Goudey sets.

Near-complete T205, T206, and T207 sets.

Over 600 tobacco and caramel cards of Hall of Famers, including more than 10 each of Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Cy Young, and Walter Johnson.

A large selection of Old Judge cards, including 2 previously uncatalogued variations, as well as Spotted Dog and Baby cards.

A large selection of type cards from many of the toughest pre-WWII sets (often multiples from a set), including Four Base Hits, Just So, Kalamazoo Bats, Honey Boy, Nadja Caramels, Mayo Cut Plug, Boston Store, Maple Crispette, Butter Cream, April Fools Caramels, Ramly, Breisch-Williams, Croft's Cocoa, Contentnea First Series, Tip Top Bread, Brunner's Bread, Mello Mint, Plows Candy, T213 Type 2, Herpolsheimer's, Rice-Stix, Schutter-Johnson, and Tharp's Ice Cream.

Key rarities including a 1932 U.S. Caramel Fred Lindstrom and a George C. Miller Ivy Andrews (cancelled).

Over 100 autographed 1933 and 1934 Goudeys, including Ruth, Gehrig, Ott, and Foxx.

Over 30 autographed T206s.

Vince Lombardi autographed Packers team photos and programs.

Team-signed footballs from Green Bay Packers Super Bowl I and II teams (including Lombardi on both).



Too rich for my blood (though I might throw in a bid on a type card or two).

...and a partridge in a pear tree.

I'll buy that for a dollar

I heard that was going to happen last week, and that is prompting a prominent mid west hoarder of unopened to move quickly to dump his stash before the inevitable price collapse. It really sucks to search for years for a key pack or box, pay thru the nose, and then have it worth pennies on the dollar when the market gets flooded. I expect '60's and especially '70's singles to plummet as well, as it will be a rippers market initially.
I have a lot of sympathy right now for anyone holding a valuable '75 mini collection- this is going to make Conlon's flood of material look like a trickle.

Always sell at the top of the bubble.

itzagoner

i'd trade all of it for one glorious minute with Scarlett Johansson.

Sounds like a good thing for the true collectors. I'd love to see how much stuff is involved.

Wow this is great!!

Precisely why I have been moving my unopened--quietly until now. Once that Fritsch stuff hits the market I'll be able to buy it back at cheaper prices.

Pity the Fools who have been buying unopened since the spike in prices last April

So not April fools??

Can't wait to see a picture of a sealed 1986 fleer case...

Post again tomorrow with an update!

Considering I am Fritsch, and I have not authorized my warehouse to be opened, I have reservations about this story. I may have to call my attorney, Mr Sidd Finch ESQ

The last time a hoard of unopened from a particular year was sold was the 75 mini cases from Conlon via REA. I'd love to go back to the day before that and get THOSE prices, lol..

Does someone have a copy of the email.
Amazing stuff if this is true.

When is the auction.

MantleFan23

I thought Wes Spece would be all over this consignment?

Actually April Fools aside, between the @Collect auction and the REA offerings coming up, there is a fair amount of Fritsch stuff coming out. A few late 60s vending boxes and lots of 70s wax boxes and cases.

The likelihood of Fritsch selling that kind of product, if they even have anything close to that kind of product, which is farfetched at best, is the same as seeing cpamike host a pack rip, lol..

CA is the outlet for Fritsch unopened and there are some nice lots but mainly vending with a couple of the boxes we have seen before-- 73 4th series wax, 75 cello, 79 rack, etc.

group rip for the 1975 topps baseball vending case in the collect auction that ends tomorrow.

Id be up for a vending box from a sealed case

You guys aren't going to believe this but I just got off the phone with Fritsch and he is sponsoring my new pack ripping site...CertifiedPackAnnihilator.com

This might entice Jeff at PackGeek to start doing some more rips since there is a new sheriff in town

Yeah, but what about Scarlett Johansen?

I call dibs on the vending box in the center of the case. You guys can have the smashed boxes at the perimeter.

So we can watch you taunt us on one of your homemade videos as you pull the mint cards from the box?? I think not!! LOL!

I'll be all over the 86 Fleer case and the April Fools Caramels.

At least these markets are not "manipulated"

I totally fell for it when I read it. I was quite excited about the possibility of picking up some 1971 Topps unopened!

You got that right! If I could set up a Fritsch sponsorship, I'd quit my job and make PackGeek videos all day long.

I believed it for about 30 seconds after reading the list. I then realized it's April Fools and as tight as they are with their collection, it would be counterproductive to release it all in one big auction. Remember, this is the business that STILL sells hand collated Topps sets and adjusts their unopened prices daily, particularly when you call. In addition, they don't take credit cards for unopened! Damn, though, for 30 seconds I was a believer!

Kinda goes with the Scarlett post, I'd be a in heaven for about 30 seconds.
