More New Arrivals

We have more new arrivals today that are just in time for Christmas. A beautiful pair of BOSE 901 speakers with the EQ and another Gibson Les Paul Electric Guitar.

If you are unfamiliar with these speakers, they are a classic and very recognizable design that was introduced in 1968, and still in production 40 years later. The 901 sounds fantastically open and spacious, with a big, fat low end and a presence that seems to put the performers right in the room, surrounded by the original auditorium.

The Gibson
Les Paul would make a fantastic Christmas gift. These are timeless instruments and are still reasonably priced for the player on a budget.

New Arrival - RARE Topps #128 Baseball Card

This RARE card is a 1954 Topps Henry Aaron rookie baseball card. We received this recently from a local consignor. Condition is everything with baseball cards and this one grades at a near perfect 10.

In 2000, a 1954 Topps Hank Aaron rookie card, graded Gem Mint 10 by PSA, reached an almost unimaginable level recently as the card was sold for an even $100,000. A few Aaron rookies graded Mint 9 were recently sold in the $20-$30,000 range at that time, but the Gem Mint 10 example shattered all prior price records for a card.Times have changed, but the rarity of this card has not.

We will be listing it on eBay tonight. Tune in next week to see how it does. You can also follow our auctions by visiting our website and clicking on the link to view our current auctions.
