Hi everyone
From Dave:
if anyone knows an auto dealer in the Londonderry, NH - Boston, MA vicinity, the family needs to replace their current 2001 Toyota Highlander (260k+ miles) with something suitable so they can all fit comfortably in a single vehicle. They are probably looking for a 2013/2014 Toyota minivan with low wiles. If we have anyone who can connect them with someone who would be willing to get them set up with a vehicle at an attractive (maybe even wholesale???) price it would be great.
FINAL LOT - donated by lilmule aka Michael
Custom made PSA Wood Box - open bid $75
I know this is a bit late but Michael's heart is in the right place and he just came back from working in the Himalaya's - and his cell wasn't working!
Final Lot: $250 70ToppsFanatic Winning bidder!
**********NOTE - INFO ON HOW TO PAY************************
If I miss any of your PMs with payments - don't hesitate to let me know or if you have any difficulty with anything.
Here's a few notes on Mike and why we have a devotion to his legacy on our forum.
This is a time where Dave and I would like you to bid with your hearts to help his children in a time of need. You're part of and doing something special in the history of our forum.
1) This is a charity auction to support the children of Michelle and Mike Kelley, both of whom passed away in their 30s as a result of health problems. Mike was a valued member of the CU Forum community (forum name: miconelegacy). He was generous with his time, with his support of other members experiencing hardship and in giving to others. The SMR article about Mike and Michelle's fight with her illness can give you a better idea of how special Mike was.
More than anything else, Mike set the example of how we could enjoy collecting together and form string friendships through this CU Forum virtual community. It is a testament to his example that so many members here (and PSA itself) are so quick to contribute to this worthy endeavor.
If you are a newer member or someone who did not get to know Mike while he was with us, you are strongly encouraged to search for some of his old postings, group breaks that he ran, etc. and read the SMR article to get to know about a special man who we lost suddenly and tragically just 2 years ago.
2) Additional donation of lots will be appreciated. Any lots donated after the auction begins will be added on to the catalog at the end (SO CHECK BACK TO SEE IF ANYTHING NEW HAS COME IN). Last time to submit an additional lot is 11PM EDT Sunday August 28.
3) The auction ends at 11PM EDT on September 1 (next Thursday). Payments will be made to an online fundraising page. Once you make a payment, get your receipt and post it to the thread and the donator(s) of the lot(s) you won will get in touch to arrange shipment to you.
***Hang tight - there's more Lots to be added!

From Dave:
if anyone knows an auto dealer in the Londonderry, NH - Boston, MA vicinity, the family needs to replace their current 2001 Toyota Highlander (260k+ miles) with something suitable so they can all fit comfortably in a single vehicle. They are probably looking for a 2013/2014 Toyota minivan with low wiles. If we have anyone who can connect them with someone who would be willing to get them set up with a vehicle at an attractive (maybe even wholesale???) price it would be great.

The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.
I'll add 10% to the current bid and make it an even $440.
Thanks

Hiya Daniel
Look above JustinsShoebox has $250 on Lot #6.
Then ScottJayhawk bid $300 on #6.
I'm still floored by the amount of generosity with this thread. Really incredible.
Collecting Unopened from '72-'83; mostly BBCE certified boxes/cases/racks.
Prefer to buy in bulk.
Not sure what the bid increments are, but looks like Travis and I have the same shoe size. I'm going $125 on Lot #4. However, I still play b-ball, so they will be put to good use.
I'm still floored by the amount of generosity with this thread. Really incredible.
Haven't set increments - we'll pretty much take anything over.
But, lot #4 is currently at $223.
LOL. My shoe size is smaller, but my feet are damaged. I need a pair of comfy kicks to wear to formal occasions. $250 on Lot 4. ;-)
I kind of got the idea that these were "collectible" shoes to be displayed Jeff - no?
The Mrs. collects shoes. I think the pair being offered is readily available in retail land. Correct if I'm wrong. But, I'd be wearing 'em straight outta the box.
I'm with you!
I just thought that there were people out there who were collecting the shoes of great players like we collect cards?

Collecting shoes is a huge billion dollar + industry, and resale of Nike retro shoes like Jordan's are larger than the other major shoe companies sales of their new shoes! Typically any Jordan retro shoe sells for $225-300+.

Thanx Keith - totally not surprised. On Pawn Stars - an episode involved a shoe museum and the guy wanted 1 million for the collection.
On your donation - I think the box is attractive and I would want to display it "with" the shoes.

That's funny. I was bidding to wear them playing hoops. I had no idea they were collectables. I happen to be a Nike 13, so perfect size.
Collecting Unopened from '72-'83; mostly BBCE certified boxes/cases/racks.
Prefer to buy in bulk.

100% correct. Before I got back into cards, I collected shoes. My collection includes Jordans, Kobes and Lebrons and was at 400 pair before I sold down to about 150 pair. It is a fascinating hobby because of the nuances and thoughts behind a shoe, and how they represent a player at a specific time in their lives.

The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.
Here are some new photos of the Arod shoes. These were game issued but not game used. For our promo athletes like Griffey, Arod, Trout... we would make their shoes with special markings personal to them with their name, nickname, player #... on the shoe. For Arod on the 40/40 model we put his number, name on the tongue and back heel, and blacked out the outsole. These are from 1999-2000 which is stated on the tag, and down below it shows them as promo shoes.
