eBay My World: midwest_sports_buffet( 3652)

I am small town kid with a love for vintage sports memorabilia and have a true love for baseball and football. There is something about sitting at a baseball game that lets you forget about the rest of the world and gives you a special feeling.

I lean towards authentic, hand signed memorabilia such as photos, cards and mini helmets but also dabble in sports cards, current & vintage and also magazines such as Sports Illustrated.

I but Ray Nitschke, Reggie White, Tony Canadeo and vintage negatives and photos from the Packers, Brewers, Bears & Milwaukee Braves. I will also purchase entire lots of signed photos.

1959 Topps Baseball, Tony Canadeo items, Robin Yount & Paul Molitor autographed photoes.

I started this business selling at shows in high school and college and making trades with other collectors & dealers. In 2003 I got tired of paying full price for autographs at shows so I asked for discounts when purchasing 10-15 items and realized there were better deals out there. Eventually I did my first autograph signing and it went very well. From there I have put on numerous shows and signings along with traveling throughout the country to trade shows. We have become very repuatable and well known and some people have even referred to me on the East Coast as The Packer Guy. At this time my business is almost 20% repeat customers which hopefully means we have done something right!

I accept personal checks, money orders, cashiers checks and credit cards through paypal.

As I do not do this full time and travel for work I promise to have items delivered within 2 weeks of payment. We take care of our packaging and care of items as if they were our own. I use the USPS for all shipping needs and have found them to be impeccable and easy to use.

Items can be returned if they are damaged and insurance is purchased. If for some reason you are unhappy please contact me and we can make some arrangements. Threating emails and phone calls will not get you anywhere. I am reasonable and expect you to be the same.

midwestsportsbuffet@yahoo.com or 920-203-6913 Please only call if you do not have email as this is my home/work/business phone and I answer emails much faster.

I feel I am an honest person and would never sell any items that I feel were not authentic and original. I don't care many of the big names like Manning & Jeter due to the cost to obtain them. If you see start up guys offering them at low prices, it just doesn't add up. I would rather make a few bucks on an original 8x10 and give my customer a real, quality item and be able to sleep at night.
