December Meeting: Annual Holiday Party

The Northern New Jersey ASA December Chapter meeting will be held on Thursday, December 13, 2012 at 6:00 pm  at Pal's Cabin in West Orange, NJ. The meeting is the Annual Holiday Party, and will feature personal property appraiser, Robert J. Connelly, ASA talking about “Valuing Sports Memorabilia.”

Robert “Bob” Connelly is a popular speaker who shares his encyclopedic knowledge with wit and charm.  A past president of his Hudson Valley ASA Chapter, he’s enjoyed a long and storied career.  Bob has authenticated Babe Ruth's signature, appraised the world's oldest known soccer ball, and the original Heisman trophy sculpture.  He has also worked with major collections owned by Shaquille O'Neill, The Baseball Hall of Fame (Cooperstown, NY), and the Racing Hall of Fame (Saratoga, NY). Bob invites you to bring an item to be appraised “Antique Roadshow” style.

Also, in support of Hurricane Sandy Relief, please bring new or gently used sporting equipment for donation. (Do not gift wrap)
