 Luxury Collectibles: With baseball season beginning, March Madness just
behind us and the NBA and NHL playoffs upcoming, it is
the perfect time to show off some of Grey Flannel's
high-end sports collectibles. This is the kind of
stuff that makes sports lovers salivate. Autographed
baseballs from Babe Ruth, Lou Gehring or Ty Cobb are
up for sale. A pinstripe Yankee jersey worn in the
1950s by Mickey Mantle is available. You can bid on a
baseball signed by Ted Williams or Stan Musial. Signed
memorabilia from all major sports is available that
dates back to the 1920s and earlier. Autographed balls

A current item up for auction belongs to legendary
basketball star Wilt Chamberlain. Wilt's custom-made,
street-legal racecar, the Chamberlain Searcher I is on
the block at an opening bid of $25,000. The chassis,
inspired by a Le Mans endurance car, weighs 3,000
pounds, has 476 horsepower at 6,750 rpms, and tops out
