On May 3, 2008 we will have a store relocation auction at our Portsmouth store.  (2560 East Main Rd. Portsmouth) A portion of the proceeds will be going to Cory Sousa (age 19, of Bristol, RI) who is battling a rare lung disease.

The entire contents of the store, over 250 lots will be auctioned off rather than moved to Newport.  Over 250 lots of sports memorabilia as well as the store display cases etc will be auctioned. There will be group lots available for dealers as well as individual lots for collectors.

Items will be available from every local team, including autographed items from Mantle, Brady, Bruschi, Pierce, Orr etc. A large collection of NASCAR, sports apparel, novelties autographs, sports cards, bats, baseballs, helmets, footballs, photos etc., will be available.  The preview starts at 9 AM while the auction starts at 10:30 AM.

Portion of the proceeds will be donated to help fray the costs of Cory Sousa medical bills related to NSIP.  Cory's dad, Rick and I were high school linemates for the Bristol High School hockey team in the mid 80's.
