Massive Clemente Collection for Sale & Auction Talk w/ The Collector Connection

Today I have Scott on the channel. He is the owner of the auction company The Collector Connection. I've never bought from an auction before, so I had a lot of questions for him about how an auction works. But the main reason I had him on the show, was to discuss a massive Roberto Clemente collection that recently went on sale! Scott, lets me see some of the items up close and also shows me some of the non-Clemente items up for sale. His auction company focuses on vintage sports cards, so it's definitely the type of cards I love to talk about!

I've bought from them in a couple auctions this year. Scott really does provide great service and actually answers every email himself very fast. And a tip if you buy raw cards, he'll send it in for grading for you if you want at cost so you save a bunch on shipping to and from sgc etc... and he guarantees it will be authentic or receive a numbered grade as the listing spells out.

[@ClementeCollector]

@@OC-MC_Joe oh wow, that’s something I didn’t know! I’ll keep that in mind. I actually emailed him about a card and he answered me back very fast. I can tell he’s a great guy to work with from our conversation, but it’s nice to see others confirm my thoughts. I appreciate you watching!

That Koosman transogram is so beautiful!! Also, great Clemente cards! Great chat guys!

[@ClementeCollector]

@@mookiechillson LOL, the ol Koosman transogram! You’re supposed to keep quiet about that! Shhhh! Thanks for watching man!

Hi Theo. Thank you for bringing this auction house to our attention. I am going to register with them.

[@ClementeCollector]

@@jimfalkler9361 awesome!!! I’m happy you enjoyed it!

[@Valuevintagecards-Aaron]

Great interview! Auctions are a great way to find some really scarce items. A lot of low pop items you will never see on Ebay will come across a good auction.

[@ClementeCollector]

@@Valuevintagecards-Aaron Thabks so much! That’s what a lot of guys are saying. There’s just so many different auction sites. But I think this is a good start and maybe I’ll gradually try the others also.

[@s.macintosh-jc9rf]

Hi Theo, Thanks for bringing this collection/auction to our attention. This is outstanding in my opinion. You never stop coming up with great content. Have a wonderful evening, Peter

[@ClementeCollector]

@@s.macintosh-jc9rf Thanks Peter! I appreciate that you enjoyed it! I’m hoping to win one or two of these cards, should be a lot of fun!

[@signsofthepastime]

This was great, Theo. Good to learn about auctions which I hope to dive into someday. Scott is a great guest and has some awesome items. The Clemente bank is too cool man. I appreciate the Red Sox star decals. Crazy that those are still in new condition. Thanks for asking him to show that. Awesome job as always, Theo.

[@ClementeCollector]

@@signsofthepastime Thanks Hugo! Yeah the bank is so cool and realistic. I gotta take care of my Red Sox’s buddies. I’ll let you guys know if I win anything. 🤞

[@thedrewavintagelegacy6455]

Great video Theo. I loved auction houses back in the day especially smaller ones like this. Usually great deals on stuff that just doesn’t pop up on eBay at auction very often

[@ClementeCollector]

@@thedrewavintagelegacy6455 That’s good to know, makes sense! Hopefully I’ll win a card or two. Have a great weekend!

[@ACollectorsDream]

Great stuff, thanks for sharing

[@ClementeCollector]

@@ACollectorsDream Thanks Orlando!

[@BringingTheHeat-VBC]

I met Scott in Strongsville and purchased from his Auction a couple months ago. He's also on Net54 and is a valued contributor. I'll be involved. SPOILER: they have your 65 Mac in an SGC NOTEBOOK 2

[@ClementeCollector]

@@BringingTheHeat-VBC Shhhh don’t tell everyone! Haha. Well that’s cool, you bought from them before, I’ll have to call you this week and see what you are going for.

[@shawncjack9417]

Great content…don’t be too intimidated by auctions, it’s fairly straightforward. It’s true that you can find some really unique items that are hard to find on eBay, especially for vintage.

[@ClementeCollector]

@@shawncjack9417 Thanks Shawn, yeah I’m ready to go to battle, haha! Let’s go! Definitely should be fun, hopefully I win a few items!

[@mi777ke777]

Great vid. First time watching. Really like your presentation. Subbed and thanks for sharing this collection.

[@ClementeCollector]

@@mi777ke777 well that’s super nice of you, thanks I appreciate that! 😀

[@Andys_Attic]

Like #44! Love these, right up my alley for sure! The Roberto Clemente cards are awesome and so many. Scott seems like a really genuine trust worthy guy. I have registered at auction houses before, but never tried bidding on anything. I just don't understand enough about it, mainly the extended bidding. I know how it works, just not a huge fan of it I guess. Good to know that no one affiliated with the auction house can bid. I absolutely feel there is still bidding going on, not just in auction houses, but also on eBay. I see way too much fishy crap going on at times. I also like how they keep the sets together if they are consistent and break it up if not, I love that! I am an oddball card guy myself. enjoyed the watch, thanks for sharing 👍👍 until next time, have a great day Theo ✌out

[@ClementeCollector]

@@Andys_Attic Scott is definitely a great guy and it’s great to know the owner of the company is so involved and available. I’m definitely nervous about the extended bidding, especially since I have a small budget and want to win 1 or two things but am going for about 5-6. I’ll definitely let everyone know what happens, thanks for watching! 😀

[@Andys_Attic]

@@ClementeCollector Good luck, I hope you get what you are after. I put a couple bids in yesterday after registering. I don't think you'll have to worry about me, I just got home from vacation last week and my funds are limited until I build them back up 🤣🤣 Have a great day Theo and thanks for responding

[@bagwell78]

Terrific collection.....the IDL Stargell is actually a rookie

[@ClementeCollector]

@@bagwell78 hmmm, I didn’t think about that. Very cool! Stargell card are criminally very cheap in the hobby. Thanks for the message!

[@SplendidSports]

Had not heard of this!

[@ClementeCollector]

@@SplendidSports auction just ended Sunday. But check out the next one!

[@Brad-mj3tg]

The new poster looks sharp! The Clemente bank is so cool! Glad they don’t have one of those for Ernie Banks or I would bid way too high. That is cool on the Roberto vs. Bob. Good luck picking up a tough Clemente.

[@ClementeCollector]

@@Brad-mj3tg haha, yeah the Bank is really cool! Thanks, Brad, I just need to hang the sports illustrated now. I’m crossing my fingers, I’ll let you guys know!

[@LegendsNeverDieCollection]

Hope you are able to grab something cool for yourself Theo!

[@ClementeCollector]

@@LegendsNeverDieCollection me too, thanks Jake!

[@pittsburghfan66]

Thanks for sharing. I found out about this at the last Chantilly show where they were selling & advertising. There are a lot of great items in this auction. I haven't bid with the Collector Connection before but have participated in a number of other auctions. I like that Scott doesn't allow employees to bid in the auctions. Did Scott say if there will be more Clemente items in future auctions, or are they all in this one from this collection?

[@ClementeCollector]

@@pittsburghfan66 I believe everything from the collection is in this one auction. I’m sure, since he specializes in vintage, more Clemente items will be in future auctions. I also, am happy that the employees don’t bid, hate that about Gouldin. Well, if you bid on anything, good luck man!

[@pittsburghfan66]

@@ClementeCollector Thanks, Theo. Good luck to you, too! You can pick up some good deals in auctions as long as you don't get into any bidding wars.

[@diegolaluz9261]

Clemente on my word what are the best players in the universe

[@ClementeCollector]

@@diegolaluz9261 He was the best! 21 💛

[@joeot7392]

I just registered, there two items that I missing. Been collecting since 1989 and only took a break from 1997 to 2003. Clemente and Jordan are what I always looking for. But I have many other cards to trade in case anyone have Clemente or Jordan..

[@ClementeCollector]

@@joeot7392 I have Jordan cards too! Mine aren’t anything special, but he was definitely my favorite player growing up. Well I’m glad you watched, good luck in the auction!
