David, John, and Adam from Graham Budd Auctioneers, the leading European auction house for sporting memorabilia, join Harry and Simon to discuss the world of sporting collectibles. They highlight the nostalgia and passion that drives the market, with football being the most popular sport due to its global appeal. They also discuss the emergence of niche markets within football, such as vintage shirts and match-worn items. In addition, they touch on the F1 market and the high value of race-worn suits and helmets. The experts advise collectors to do their research, buy quality items, and buy from reputable sources. They explore the challenges of verifying the authenticity and provenance of items, as well as the importance of the story behind the piece. They also talk about the resurgence of vinyl records as collectible items and the crossover between sports memorabilia and music collecting.

ABOUT THE PODCAST

The Gavel and The Gabble is a podcast hosted by Harry and Simon who, together, are lucky enough to run two provincial Auction Houses in Windsor, Berkshire and Seaton, Devon.

Now we know there are lots of TV shows about buying and selling antiques and collectables but we thought followers of this podcast would like to hear about what goes on behind the scenes of an actual working auction house as we go about our daily business, the characters we meet, the things we find, and the things we wished we had never found.

Famed for our slightly different auctioneering style, constant chatting on the rostrum, awful jokes. Stick with us as we bunk off to record anecdotes, interview others in the industry and basically gabble on. If you enjoy the podcast, please leave us a rating.

Harry and Simon chat about the challenges of staffing during the summer holidays and the importance of providing provenance to buyers, as it appears not all auction houses do so. The pair also discuss the potential of internet-free auctions and if such a think is a viable business strategy in 2024. Could this be the solution to all those unsellable bulky items found in house clearances?
