WEST BERLIN,
NJ – Nov. 6, 2012 –Sports memorabilia impresario and New Jersey native Ken
Goldin is giving collectors the chance to purchase some unique collectibles from
Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Ty
Cobb, Barry Bonds, Stan Musial and more, and at the same time help those impacted
by Hurricane Sandy. Goldin Auctions has
added 15 “Hurricane Relief Lots” to its Fall 2012 Auction with 100% of the
sales from these items, including the 10% buyers premium, being donated to the
American Red Cross for Disaster Relief.
Collectors can bid upon these items at www.GoldinAuctions.com by clicking on the category Hurricane
Relief.
“The fact that our company’s
first auction is underway during the biggest natural disaster to ever hit my
home state of New Jersey, made it obvious to us that we should use the auction
to help these people in need,” said Mr. Goldin.
“I would like to thank PSA/DNA for donating the authentication services
for these lots, and hope collectors all across America will be generous in
their bids to help raise as much as possible to support the critical work of the
American Red Cross Disaster Relief.”

history and pop culture memorabilia for sale.
The auction began on Oct. 15 and concludes on Nov. 17, 2012 at www.GoldinAuctions.com.
Goldin Auctions has been launched with the
goal of best serving collectors and consignors and holding itself to the
highest standards in the industry. Some of the policies that make Goldin
Auctions different include: an industry low 10% buyers’ premium; all
autographed items accompanied by an LOA from first party authenticators (such
as MLB), PSA/DNA or JSA; game worn items accompanied by a team, player or
MEARS/PSA/DNA or other full LOA; the assurance to collectors and consignors
that they can bid with confidence that their proxy/ceiling bid remains
confidential as Goldin Auctions has disabled that feature of the auction
software – a practice not followed by many other online auction houses.
The
auction is scheduled to close on Nov. 17 at 10 pm ET but will follow the “15-minute
rule” (meaning items will close once no bids have been received for
15-minutes).
