Trying to find any information on 'Premier Sports' or 'Premier Sports Collectibles & Memorabilia' and I can't find anything about the company online other then a store in Marlborough Mall.
Grabbed this photo from last game:
Want to buy or order an autographed Kipper print they has previously and view what other prints they might have but its as if they don't exist as a company.... seems really weird.
I put the 2nd (last) bid on an item a few years ago, watched them take all of the clipboards away after the 2nd intermission, and never got a call for winning the bid...
Pretty sure the bid didn't meet what they were hoping to make on it so they just assumed whoever had the winning bid would assume they didn't win (or one of the employees outbid me after the fact).
Fair question... I did (probably could have mentioned that).
Its some cell #, goes to a personal voicemail for 'Derek' no reference to any business or Premier Sports or anything. No call back yet.

Still peeved... =/
It all seems very bush league. Wonder if anyone has ever bought anything from them successfully?
I talked to one of the girls selling items. At the end of the night, if there weren’t bids, the items are just for sale at the starting price. I thought about buying something... but didn’t.
The whole "auction" aspect is a bit of a sham... everything has a set minimum price. Often they have multiple copies of something. I have been outbid by 3 or 4 people before and the next day it's a call saying I "won"
Last week during intermission I walked by and noticed that the basketball pieces offered for sale were twice as large (dual pictures, or wider, more signatures) starting at $150 "bid", while the cheapest small hockey piece was $200 or usually $250 "bid".
They have to make a markup to support their business and they pay to be there so they must make sales.
Look in the CP buy and sell from a week ago, two pieces were offered for free which were the same quality, they had the framing and the plaques, one I think was Iggy and the other Kipper. Good pieces for free
Signatures are generally worthless without actual personal validation. Agents ask players for 1000's of signed cards, and the player has their brother sign them for a buck a piece. It does happen. It gets to the point that the signature of the relative or friend becomes official among collectors.

Clearly you missed the best print. One of the 90's Flames players standing in front of a CP Locomotive which is now on it's way to bc-chris in Kelowna
