As we reported last month, Johnny Bench has consigned several items to the sale including some All-Star Game rings and an important game-used bat.
Company president David Hunt visited the CNBC Studios Tuesday and did some show and tell with the hosts of Squawk Box while also discussing the strength of the sports memorabilia market in general. The video is below. If you can’t see it, click here.
