blueschica Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 For anyone who is interested- Geddy did alright! The total of the items he sold came to 6.5 million dollars. Lucky new owners! https://www.christies.com/en/auction/selections-from-the-geddy-lee-collection-and-important-baseball-memorabilia-29623/?fbclid=IwAR0C8D3gdWBtZav5QVeNdMLogg4tuLQhONd1IEnBHrWut6KF6JrqkMqjhQY A few of the items had this note attached- it looks like Geddy is working on a new book featuring his collectibles ?!? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in another Rush group on Facebook and someone felt that many items were sold for "under value" in the auction. They must not have been THAT undervalued 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Many of the items were pretty reasonably priced, like 2000-3000. What attributed to the final large haul was the volume of items. Interesting to see all the items and descriptions. Geddy certainly has a keen eye for this and his collection is very eclectic...not just the typical hall of famers signatures. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after the seller's fees, he only got around $4,000,000, roughly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkst Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Wonder how much he spent on the collection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Carmina Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I'd buy that book, too! I wonder if it is a "general release" thing or if it's a limited/special release just for auction purchasers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoot, I didn't even think of that, I was just thinking it would automatically be for the public. You are right, maybe its more of an auction guide or something ?? He's always busy for sure! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised he has another auction down the road, heard him remark in an interview recently that his wife came in to the room where he stores the items and she said I thought you sold all this? He said, I did some.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really interested in baseball but if he's written for it it might be interesting. I have Alex's auction catalog and that's really cool though not as meticulous as Geddy's Big Book Of Bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
