A bid will be placed on your behalf up to these amounts only as they are bid against competitively by other bidders.

Items will be sold to the highest bidder. Bids can be no lower than the opening bid (in US funds) listed on this website. The current high bid must be raised by a 10% increment.

By placing a bid in this auction, the bidder confirms the acceptance of all the rules and conditions of sale as mentioned here. GAMEWORNAUCTIONS.NET’s record of final sale shall be conclusive. Once a bid is placed, it may not be retracted for any reason.
V. Auction closing
The final day of bidding for this entire auction is
December 12, 2022
The auction will initially close at 10:00 PM (Eastern Time) on Monday December 12, 2022. After 10:00 PM, the auction will continue (extended time) until the bids stop coming in for 10 minutes. This rule applies for the entire auction and to all the lots together. In other words, all lots will remain opened for as long as a bid has been placed on any lot, and all the lots will close at the same time. It is not necessary to place a bid prior to 10:00 PM to be able to participate during the extended time. Please note that the auction is closed when no bid has been registered for 10 minutes after 10:00 PM on Monday December 12, 2022. Our auctions generally continue well into the night, absentee bidding is available for those who do not want to stay up to monitor their bids.
VI. Payment
All winning bidders will receive an e-mail showing them their items won at the close of the auction. Auction invoices will then follow within a few business days. Winning bidders will be able to view a copy of their invoice in the "My Account" area once it has been processed. Those who have not received their invoice within 5 business days of the auction should contact us. Payment is due within 14 days after notification. Failure to pay invoices promptly will result in the suspension of your auction privileges. Methods of payment accepted are certified checks, bank checks, money orders, cash and bank wires. Please contact us if you need bank wire transfer information. A wire transaction fee of $40.00 will be added if choosing this method. Please make all payments out to GAMEWORNAUCTIONS.NET and mail to 461 Cresta Circle, West Palm Beach, FL 33413 . NO PERSONAL CHECKS, BUSINESS CHECKS, PAYPAL OR CREDIT CARDS WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR AUCTION PAYMENTS. There will be no exceptions to this rule.
VII. Winning bids and shipping
A 20% buyer’s premium will be added to the total
of all items on your invoice.
Winning bidders are responsible for all shipping and handling costs which include shipping, insurance, packing and materials. All invoices will include a charge for shipping via UPS ground. Winning bidders are also responsible for any other costs related to shipping: customs, duties, taxes or brokerage. All Florida residents will have 7% added to their total invoice including shipping unless the purchaser has provided GAMEWORNAUCTIONS.NET with a valid sales tax exemption certificate issued by the State of Florida. Any winning bidder who want their items shipped using an expedited UPS method must request it when they receive their invoices. All expedited methods will require an additional charge. Shipping rates will vary according to the size and weight of the items shipped and according to the destination and method of shipping chosen by the customer. All items will be shipped within 5-7 business days of receipt of payment, or sooner, under ordinary circumstances. The cost of shipping sticks to any country other than the US and Canada is extremely expensive. Since the USPS will not accept an International package over 60 inches in length, these must be shipped by UPS. The cost of shipping (1) stick overseas through UPS costs more than $300. Please be sure to take this into consideration when bidding on sticks if you live anywhere other than in the US or Canada. Shipping sticks to the US or Canada is still fairly expensive. Please expect overall shipping/material costs of around $65.00 + insurance to any US location and $85.00 + insurance to any Canadian location.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL, please make sure you ask all relevant questions about any lot you are interested in prior to bidding. We recommend that you ask all questions on the item(s) before the final auction day to provide additional time if your questions are not answered to your satisfaction. Although we use extreme care in writing up all titles and descriptions in the auction, minor typos or inaccuracies may exist. All titles and descriptions in the auction are the opinion of GAMEWORNAUCTIONS.NET and are not considered “authenticity”. GAMEWORNAUCTIONS.NET will not accept any return for any reason of 3rd party authenticated cards and autographs.
VIII. Authenticity

GAMEWORNAUCTIONS.NET will not accept any returns, ALL SALES ARE FLINAL. A GAMEWORNAUCTIONS.NET letter of authenticity will be sent with each lot with the exception of authentics, graded cards, autographed card and photo groups and 3rd party authenticated autographs. Individual lots may also indicate outside LOA’s in their descriptions. This LOA will be in addition to the LOA from GAMEWORNAUCTIONS.NET. Letters of authenticity may be shipped with the merchandise or under separate cover after the merchandise has been shipped.

A standard $25.00 per lot fee will be charged in addition to the consignment rate on all consignments. Consignments will be returned at the conclusion of an auction, if agreed upon, if that item does not sell.
