opus.jpgAbout two years ago I started hearing about this book and I still have never seen one in person.

Premier Auctions is offering a Super Bowl XL Opus (MVP Edition, No. 140 of 400) limited-edition autographed book available from the publisher, KrakenOpus, in its latest auction that ends May 29.

The retail price was $40,000. The lot carries a minimum bid of $25,000.

The Opus also includes an in-depth analysis and story of every Super Bowl played, illustrated with more than 1,200 astonishing images. The 20-by-20-inch book weighs more than 80 pounds.
The MVP Opus also contains a page that is personally signed by the 34 of the 35 Super Bowl MVPs.

All I wanna know is, how the heck is a book 80 pounds?!!

Are the pages made out of lead? No question that’s a hefty minimum bid for a killer modern-day football piece, but I would compare it to the NBA 50 Greatest players lithograph and those go for up near $70k.

I just got off the phone with Walter Cerini from Premier auctions and he said that this was the last example of the Opus book available and they will now be all sold out.

0508081montana1.jpgAccording to a report from the website thesmokinggun.com and a chat that Gavel Chat had with auction officials, former NFL quarterback Joe Montana is suing Heritage Auction Galleries for the sale of assorted items including love letters to his former wife Kim Moses. Montana is also suing Moses, who consigned the pieces to Heritage’s May 2008 Signature sale. Montana, 51, claims that the sale of the assorted items violated his copyright and privacy rights.

Chris Ivy, Heritage sports division auction director said he hasn’t seen a copy of the complaint yet.

“We’re kind of stuck in the middle of this,” said Ivy. “It’s just a question of ownership and title. We’re just kind of stepping back and letting their attorneys hash it out.

The total of the nine lots that Heritage sold for Moses tallied $20,972.
