Notes: Vintage Cards Unclaimed No More; eBay-Collectable Partnership; New Auction Company Launches Sale; Fanatics Auction

November 24, 2022 By Rich Mueller

A Colorado man has been reunited with a collection of vintage baseball cards, 24 years after he put them in a safe deposit box in a bank in Crested Butte. 

“I thought these were gone forever,” said the man identified only as Jere.  “I never imagined they would be sitting in a vault at the Colorado State Capitol.”

Jere’s safe deposit box was turned over to the State of Colorado as unclaimed property after the bank tried unsuccessfully to get ahold of him several years ago. “I got busy and left and lived in Europe for about ten years,” he said. “I have a bunch of stuff from my dad and my uncle from the 1950s and 60s.”

His eight-year-old son recently asked about cards and Jere remembered his collection. He then began a quest to find out what happened to it and the bank where he’d originally stored them in 1998 put him in touch with the Colorado State Treasurer’s Office, where they’d been sent as unclaimed property.

It took about six months for him to get the documentation to prove they were his.

The state didn’t say how many cards were in the box, but showed off 1956 Topps cards of Roberto Clemente and Yogi Berra, a low grade 1950 Bowman Berra, a 1960 Carl Yastrzemski rookie and a 1911 Hassan Triple Folders card.

His father is still alive and Jere said he planned to show the cards to him this week.

Collectable is partnering with eBay for a variety of initiatives.  Full details will be released at a later date, but look for special auctions to take place on eBay’s platform. Collectable has also committed over five million dollars of iconic, graded sports cards to the eBay Vault. 

They’ll kick it off at the SCOPE Art Show in Miami, FL from November 29 – December 4.

Here’s a look at the most watched graded rookie card auctions on eBay at the moment with some key hockey cards camping out near the top of the list.
