It is the JR Sport Brief Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. It's real recent. Just in in the past hour, we learned that Shohei Otani has now won his fourth MVP Award We just learned that Aaron Judge has now picked up his third, and we're certainly living in a golden era when it comes to some of the talent on the baseball field. And just speaking of a golden hour, it seems that sports memorabilia and collectibles have also jumped up in interest over the past several years. We just saw an epic performance by Shohei in the World Series, in the National League Championship Series.
We see the Dodgers are rolling, and Judges rolling, Otani is rolling. And so, right now, joining us on the line. Is someone very familiar with the world of sports memorabilia and collectibles? As a matter of fact, his auction house, SCP Auctions. They have Shohail Tanny's ball.
One of the balls from his three-home run, ten-strikeout game in the National League Championship Series. They have the World Series game seven home run balls from Miguel Rojas and Will Smith. Right now, we're being joined by the CEO of SCP Auctions, David Kohler. David, welcome to the show. Oh, thank you so much.
Yes, I just heard the news on Shoe Hatani, that's amazing. And yes, we're very excited about all this.
Well, we know that these home run balls and pieces that you're able to collect, they're already worth millions of dollars. How fast does the value of these baseballs and some of these items go up when Otani and we knew this was going to happen, but how fast does the value go up the minute that he's named MVP?
Well, it certainly increases value of all his memorabilia, whether it's his uh authenticated autographs or his game use. Jerseys and bats and all that, including these milestone homerum balls that we have collected we've been very busy the last three weeks or so.
So Yeah, they're all up for auction. We've got a whole trio here. We got Otani's. Home run that he hit out of the Dodger Stadium, that majestic shot that everybody remembers. when he pitched and had the three home runs, we have that one.
that's currently at two hundred thousand just getting started. And then we were able to secure Game seven. Uh Miguel Rojas. Pop of the knife home run. And also the top of the eleventh, of course, the Will Smith home run for the Dodgers to grow up five, four and go on to win the World Series of back to back.
Wow, we're being joined by the CEO of SCP Auctions, David Kohler. It's kind of crazy, David. You talk about those home runs hit by Miguel Rojas and Will Smith. Correct me if I'm wrong. Those balls were caught by both a father and a son.
What is the typical process when you get a hold of the balls and authenticating them and seeing if you can get them from s the individuals? How does that process work? Yeah.
Well, we've been in business 45 years, so we do have a track record of handling a lot of these milestone baseballs. But yeah. It's a lot of work. We're reaching out to the guys that caught these if we can.
Sometimes they contact us directly because they look on the internet or they know our resume and the business. from doing a lot of these uh Long time. Last year we auctioned off. Freddie Freeman's game tie in walk off home run from game one that a ten year old kid caught in Reichfield at Dodger Stadium with his parents. that brought one point five six million in our auction.
So they see that, they know we know how to do this. And we go out and we reach out to them. We do a lot of things. Obviously, sometimes Major League Baseball may help us with the authentication if it's been. Marked in holograms, sometimes they're not.
Uh Other things like affidavits, videos, pictures. and including like on these home runs, we did a a polygraph on both the father and son that caught these these balls from game seven.
Now you guys uh spare no expense to make sure that you guys uh got the goods. We're being joined by David Kohler, CEO of SCP Auctions. I encourage you to go to scpauctions dot com. What got you involved in the the memorabilia collectible space? Just growing up as a kid in Southern California, loving sports, started collecting baseball cards like a lot of us started and I opened a store when I was 21, and going to shows and conventions and doing mail order back then.
This is all before. you know, iPhones and computers, right? But The industry grew and our market grew and people just love sports and memorabilia. And of course, the Internet and the access to People around the world now where they can bid in auctions all over. Anybody can go to our site, scpauctions.com.

And so we end on the twenty second, november twenty second, coming up in about ten days. And yeah, you know, the industry is grown, people love it. Authenticity is obviously a huge factor in the companies that you deal with. Absolutely.
Well, David, I know over the past several years, especially and unfortunately, coming out of COVID, it seems like the the business picked up as I guess more people went into their garage, they had more time at home in the attic. How how has the business changed over the past several years coming out of that COVID era? I think a lot of people just got nostalgic and started thinking about going back to their collections when they were And missing sports too. I think a lot of that really kickstarted this again. Because, you know, remember there was a time there On the lockdown, there was just no sports on TV, there was no games, and then gradually came back.
So I think a lot of people were saying, Hey, I want to start. to collect again whether they It's their favorite teams, their favorite players, or maybe they would collect, you know, game one jerseys, um baths. Championship ring, Super Bowl, World Series, NBA, whatever it may be, they love Kobe Bryant.
Okay. all the grapes. And you can put together great collections of those over time. And, you know, if you really have your mindset on how to go about doing it and have a passion and buying the right things. years from now, usually that stuff's worth a lot more.
Don't buy it today to sell it tomorrow. Don't buy it today to sell it in six months. But Come with a plan. Have fun with it. And you can really build a great collection that again, It's about having fun with your collection and And if it's worth more later, hey, that's great.
The CEO of SCP Auctions, David Kohler, is here with us on the JR Sport Brief Show. What advice that's on the buying side. What advice would you share with anyone who wants to kind of go dig around in the garage, maybe go into a couple of bends and boxes that they haven't been through in about twenty years?

Yeah, same thing, you know, look and see what you have. I'm certainly contact a company like us, SEP Auctions, they can tell you, hey, Here's some of the things that you have that might be valuable.
Some of the things might have to go through You know, if we're talking about cards, you have to go through grading. the grading services like PSA and that, it's kind of how this all works. Or let's say you have an old, you know, Mickey Mattel Seinball or Babe Ruth that your family handed down to you.
Well, that has to get authenticated. But you get the proper paperwork. There's a process there and then you've got something whether you want to sell it or not.

That's how it rolls there. David, we're in an. It seems like we're moving into another era, or maybe we're right in the middle. Of the next era of greatness. You know, we just learned, of course, we mentioned Otani getting another MVP is fourth.
Aaron Judge gets his third. People are enamored in the NBA with a guy like Victor Wembanyama as LeBron James and Steph Curry are on their way out. What are your thoughts on this new era? And when it comes to goods by some of these current stars and rising athletes, just what does that mean for the business, if anything at all? You know, I think It adds to all of it where people just stay interested in your teams and your players and watching all these greats.
And, you know, today, You know, access is what it's all about, right? People can watch these events and sporting events on their phone. on their computers. They don't have to be at the game the at the actual event.
So all that lends itself to in the collecting world and loving all this. And I think as it's the industry sports memorability we're talking about has grown, and matured and been more organized And the authentication companies are in place, that all comes together, and the puzzle just. You know, the landscape comes all together, and people then get it and they go, okay. I'm in. I want to do this.
It's great with your kids. All of that just comes together, and that's what's going on. It's not going to stop. There's been. predictions that the market is going to grow and grow in the next ten years.
