6) Return Policy - ALL LEGITIMATE RETURNS OR
CREDIT REQUESTS MUST BE BROUGHT TO OUR
ATTENTION WITHIN 30 DAYS OF RECEIPT OF
YOUR ITEMS! AFTER 30 DAYS, THERE ARE NO
REFUNDS, EXCHANGES OR CREDITS! ALSO, THE
ENTIRE LOT MUST BE INTACT AND IN THE SAME
FORM AS WHEN IT WAS SOLD IN ORDER TO
RECEIVE ANY CREDIT OR REFUND CONSIDERA-
TIONS - NO EXCEPTIONS!!
We have conservatively graded most items, however we
strongly encourage you to ask specific questions or better yet,
come view the items you are interested in. If you are unsure
of anything, ask, then bid. We reserve the right to make any
changes from the print catalog on our website. Any changes
that are made, we will notify all who have placed bids on that
item by email.
7) Bidding Privileges - Huggins and Scott LLC reserves the
right to revoke any bidder privileges for what we deem as
unethical behavior.
PLEASE NOTE: Once a bid is placed, we CANNOT
retract it. We have two safeguards to make sure that you are
aware of the bid that you are placing, and which lot you are
bidding on. Bid retraction will result in cancellation of all
bids in the auction and bidding privileges revoked. WE
CANNOT COMPROMISE THE INTEGRITY OF THE
AUCTION BY CANCELING BIDS.
8) Previewing Items Before the Auction - All items are available
for viewing at our auction offices: 900 Silver Spring Ave,
Silver Spring, MD 20910. Calling in advance for an appointment
is strongly SUGGESTED. We ask that you provide a
list of the items that you want to examine, so we may have
them ready for you.
9) All bids are in US Dollars!
10) When we refer to a population report about graded
cards, we only reference the population of that card's grading
company. For example, if we say an SGC card has three
equals and none better, we are only referring to that card's
population among all SGC graded cards, unless otherwise
stated. All population counts are valid as of the time of writing
and are subject to change.
About Our Autographs:
All autographs sold thru Huggins & Scott Auctions come
with either a JSA- James Spence Authentication (our most
used), PSA/DNA, Upper Deck Authenticated (UDA), Stacks
of Plaques, Kevin Keating or Steiner COA's. Some even have
more than one. At Huggins & Scott, we take great pride in
only offering "IRONCLAD", "LEAD PIPE", "NO QUES-
TIONS ASKED" autographs. In today's world of autopens,
secretarial, clubhouse and ghost signers, you can rest assured
that your autographed items from H&S have passed the most
stringent examination.
Note: For those that do not know, a "clubhouse" signature
was a common practice among teams where the key players
would not actually sign the item, but a clubhouse attendant
would sign for the player. We note any signature that is a
clubhouse signature.
Multiple Autographed Item Lot LOA's:
For the more valuable autographs, we are obtaining full photograph
LOA's from one of the respected third party authentication
companies. For the lesser valued items, we are having
those items authenticated and noted with a unique
sticker/certificate combination for each item. In the remaining
cases, on lots with more than one autographed item, we
will issue one blanket auction letter of authenticity for the
entire lot (although we are trying to do away with this altogether,
but sometimes it is the only cost effective method).
This is the original letter that we receive from the authentication
company describing the offered lot. You may use this
"auction" LOA to obtain individual LOA's should you chose
to do that, however the auction LOA’s are only valid for 45
days from the end of the auction. Please see the item's
description for specific authentication on each individual lot.
Please call if you have any questions regarding these auction
lot LOA's.
Framed Items:
Frames included with lots: while we make every effort to protect
the frames included in these lots during pre auction storage
and post auction shipping, we are not responsible for any
damage to the frames themselves, and no refunds will be
given due to frame damage.
About Our Grading:
Many lots, throughout the auction have been Professionally
graded and encapsulated by independent grading companies.
Many other lots have been graded by our highly educated
writers. For the most part, these are conservative grades, but
we are human and sometimes we may miss something. We
are not responsible for a third party grading company agreeing
or disagreeing with our assessment and we cannot issue
refunds or credits if cards do not receive a numerical grade or
the exact grade that we describe. We strongly recommend
that you come look at any items that you are bidding on, and
make your own determination about it's grade.

our thousands of current bidders and possible new bidders,
who can then plan ahead to bid on your items. Believe me, it

little dust, or needs the right exposure!
