It’s the final week of bidding for the annual Louisville Slugger Factory & Museum Auction, which culminates with a live element at the facility on Saturday.
Hunt Auctions is once again conducting the sale. Company president David Hunt talked with WKRC-TV about the sale of the Green Diamond Collection, curated by Dayton native and long-time hobbyist Bob Crotty and some of the other big-ticket items that are up for grabs right now.

Collectors from New England and beyond turned out for the Greater Boston Sports Collectors Club’s annual three-day event at the Shriner’s Auditorium in Wilmington, MA over the weekend.
The club’s origins date to the 1970s and they’ve been running shows since the mid-80s.
Good crowds were reported for the Friday opening and it continued into the weekend.

Over the summer, we wrote about the Polo Grounds exhibit, featuring memorabilia associated with the old stadium. Curator Neil Scherer tells its story using framed displays of programs, photos, autographs and other items.
It’s taking place just a stone’s throw from where the Polo Grounds once stood–the Morris-Jumel Mansion. Spectrum News NY dropped in for a visit and you can watch their story here.
