MESQUITE, Nev. – Fresh off its move from Davenport, Washington, where the company was headquartered for over 10 years, Grant Zahajko Auctions will make a splash at its new home in Mesquite, Nevada on Wednesday, October 28th, with a Sports Cards & Memorabilia auction, packed with over 400 lots of rare and highly desirable sports collectibles. The action will be held online from the firm’s new gallery home located at 1624 Riverstone Bend, Unit 604 in Mesquite. Important Knute Rockne thee-page handwritten letter with diagrammed plays and the original envelope addressed in Rockne’s hand, penned in 1916 and in the same family for over a century. Estimate: $15,000-$20,000 Certainly the most intriguing lot in the sale is an important Knute Rockne thee-page handwritten letter with diagrammed plays and the original envelope addressed in Rockne’s hand. Rockne was the legendary football player and coach at the University of Notre Dame, which he led for 13 seasons and along the way accumulated more than 100 wins and three national championships.  The letter was written in 1916 following a request for some plays from a high school coach, as documented in the consigning family’s letter of provenance. It has been in the same family for over 100 years. Rockne writes that the plays Notre Dame executes would be too complicated for high schoolers, then diagrams a few plays anyway. He signs the letter “Rock.” Included in the lot is a letter of authenticity from Beckett Authenticating Services. The estimate is $15,000-$20,000. The rest of the auction is a sports memorabilia collector’s wonderland, filled with items that feature rare estate sports cards, to include 1933 Goudey baseball cards that were found in an estate earlier this year and only recently graded; vintage sports magazines just recently graded, some of which are the highest grade for that issue with none higher; and other great rarities.

    Auction Industry, Press Release
    Sports Cards, Comic Books And Memorabilia Highlight Grant Zahajko Auctions’ August Sale

    The Sports Cards & Memorabilia, Comic Books, Autographs + Collectibles auction will be held online and live at the Davenport gallery. The debut sale in Mesquite is coming sometime this fall. DAVENPORT, Wash. – Grant Zahajko Auctions will bid a fond farewell to its longtime home in Davenport with a Sports Cards & Memorabilia, Comic Books, Autographs + Collectibles auction on Wednesday, August 12th, online and live at the gallery. After that the company will relocate to Mesquite, Nevada this fall. Mickey Mantle 1956 Topps Gray Back #135 PSA 2 Grant Zahjkjo Auctions has enjoyed a fine working relationship with the city of Davenport and the auction-going citizenry since its founding in 2016. The firm was attracted to the city’s small-town lifestyle, friendly people, affordability as a startup and its proximity to the international airport, since owners Grant and Gina Zahajko often travel the country, picking up consignments. But a move to Mesquite made good business sense for several reasons. “It will allow us to reduce operational costs so we can keep our prices competitive for our customers,” said Gina, who oversees the operational side of the business. “A larger community positions us better for the growth we’re experiencing. A larger talent pool combined with better logistics for the company’s in-house shipping department, will allow us to continue delivering five-star customer service.”  Grant, who presides over the company’s product side, added, “The move will bring us to a closer radius to a larger pool of prospective consignors. It’s also important to note that our day-to-day operations won’t be impacted. Our contact details will remain unchanged.” The company’s new building in Mesquite won’t be ready until fall. Once that happens, the move-in process will begin, likely lasting 2-3 weeks and involving multiple trips and trucks. Keep an eye on the website for debut auction details: www.gzauctions.com.   Firm dates have not yet been set for the lineup of fall auctions in the new Mesquite location. “I want to convey that each auction will feature specifically curated items from estates and collections from across the country,” Grant remarked.  Here is a sneak peek…
