Our Legends Sports Auction Program helps organizations raise money with zero upfront risk. We provide a curated selection of autographed and non‑autographed memorabilia; you auction it at your event. Guests take home authentic pieces they love, and your group keeps the profit.
1) Tell us about your event
Share your date, audience size, and theme. We’ll approve your organization and get you set up.
2) Choose items (or let us curate)
Pick from signed jerseys, helmets, balls, photos, and more. We can also select best‑sellers for your crowd.
3) Run your auction
Set starting bids and showcase items. After the event, return any unsold pieces for full credit†.
4) Settle at wholesale
We invoice at wholesale cost. Your organization keeps the difference between bids and cost.
Great Income Potential
Our items routinely bring 100%–200% more than the organization’s cost. Some auctions see items sell for as much as six times that amount.
Starting Bid Guidance
We recommend a starting bid of about 20% above our wholesale price. This helps drive momentum while protecting your return.
