Ward’s Auction
 

Very cool Parker poster from the recent Ward’s auction. Hope someone here was the lucky winner.

Sold for $2100.......

Yes. It must be one of the most valuable Parker paper items at that price

If it hadn't been professionally restored, it would have brought $5000 +.

Then there is this

YIKES - :eek:

The pandemic doesn't seem to be dampening sporting collectibles prices. After 9 pm PST Friday I upped my spread on the eight items I was bidding on to what I thought were absurd prices and when I got up and checked on Saturday morning I'd only won four.

I only won one of the four auctions I bidded on. But then, I'm not a collector .......more of a bottom feeder.

I really liked this UMC-Arrow box, but it went for two times my high bid,

I got several items, but I can't stay up late enough to keep bidding...thankfully.:throw:

Box ended up bringing over $17000.

And that is before the buyer's premium kicks in, so I understand :eek::eek::eek:

Shell boxes
 

I'm still trying to figure out what makes one worth $17 K and the next one worth $17. I can kind of understand some of the more artful boxes, but others don't appear to be so well decorated and still go for a high price. A local guy here has over 800 boxes. I don't really get it.

Same with duck decoys and that is why I avoid getting seriously involved in either hobby.

I too bid on a few items each auction....they are about the only good place to bid on shotgun shell boxes and 22 rifle shell boxes...and have a good selection of single shot shells and rifle ammo...lots of old guns too...charlie
