Graham Budd Auctions has partnered with Liverpool FC for two auctions, the most recent of which being a collection of items from their famous Melwood Training Ground. We generated over 74,000 hits to the online catalogue, with the total sale revenue just shy of £500,000.
You can browse the collection from this auction and each item’s final sale price here. Such was the success of our marketing campaign to engage interest beyond the traditional auction audience, that many of the hammer prices exceeded the estimated auction values.
