“It’s very exciting and forward-looking for me and the Auction team to take the honor to present such rare pieces to worldwide collectors,” says Jeff Schwartz, AKA, “The Liquidator”, an international reality TV star and auctioneer.

BURNABY, BC, November 02, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ — What makes this baseball so rare? The answer is that the baseball was signed by Babe Ruth, America’s baseball hero. For baseball fans, this ball is the equivalent of the Holy Grail, and indeed it was exactly what Ralph felt when he got this invaluable piece. Ralph was born and raised in Erie Penn’a and as a youngster had the wonderful pleasure to see Babe Ruth play there. As Ralph recalled, “It was on August 11, the year was 1932 or 1933, I retrieved a ball when he (Babe Ruth) hit a home run and after the game, he was kind enough to sign it for me.”

The ball was purchased for an undisclosed amount at auction by the late Rick More (without Sandra his wife knowing of the purchase). She only discovered that he owned it from when he passed away. Rick only told his best friend and his brother of the purchase. He did not tell them where he had hidden it, although they only knew it was in Rick’s Canadian home. Fortunately, Sandra was able to find the ball and now we have the opportunity to auction off this once-in-a-lifetime signed ball of the famous 1936 Hall of Famer Babe Ruth!

This Babe Ruth baseball is the top item in a stunning private collection amassed over 30 years by Rick More and it will all be offered by Direct Liquidation’s Auctions, one of the biggest auction houses based in Canada.

A signed Mats Sundin Jersey is also considered highly and expected to be a very exciting first bid of the session on November 6th. Ernie Banks signature series signed or Cal Ripken’s Limited Edition Framed Set are all great items that potentially get crazy during the live bidding rounds.

The story about Rick and his amazing collection will be auctioned off Nov 6 & 13, 2021, through Direct Liquidation:
Rick was born in Toronto, Ontario Canada. He was born a collector. His lifelong passion for sports led to this elaborate collection. During his life as a printer & publisher, he has relocated from Toronto to Denver Colorado, and Dallas Texas. His passion for golf and hockey expanded into Football, baseball, and NASCAR.

He also loved antiques and saw the value. Traveling allowed Rick to expand his search for collecting. His wife Sandra and 3 children, Leanne, Ryan, and Melissa were involved in facilitating his passion or as they often thought enabling him to pursue this passion. Rick’s personality was larger than life. He had a vast interest in EVERYTHING!

He was active from an early age in hockey and golf and enjoyed athletics right up until the end of his life. He never lost that passion throughout his life and could turn his hand to anything. During retirement, he renovated a beautiful estate home for his family and the happiest moments were spent “at the lake” with his favorite people who called him Papa.

Rick was very concerned as to how his lifelong collection would be handled. Adding to someone’s collection or passions of interest would please Rick as he was a generous man who was dearly loved.

With worldwide shipping, anyone, anywhere can access this epic online auction, for free. This makes it possible for sports collectors and basketball fans to participate.

Babe Ruth is already an iconic athlete worldwide. His autograph memorabilia and trading cards have already been high, but it has gone up and up, and up with this recent period, more new collectors have joined the clan and the value of such items has gone up higher than ever.
