Hidden Gems Surface - Mishawaka Trust Sale

The Uncommon Collection — A Three-Day Event You Won't Want to Miss

Some sales offer the ordinary. This is not one of those sales.

What surfaces here over three days is the kind of collection that serious collectors spend years chasing and rarely find under one roof. We are pleased to present an extraordinary gathering of American pop culture, musical history, military hardware, and regional treasure — much of it seldom seen at open sale.

Leading the way is a rare cache of Ball Band Red Ball Jets sneakers — many in their original boxes — along with original point-of-sale advertising pieces from one of Indiana's most beloved brands. Born right here in Mishawaka, Ball Band's Red Ball Jets were America's first true performance sneaker, predating Nike by two decades. What you'll find here is museum-worthy material from your own backyard.

From there, the surprises keep coming: early Beatles Parlophone LPs that serious vinyl collectors will recognize on sight, an extensive GI Joe collection and a compelling array of military edged weapons including bayonets and daggers representing multiple eras and nations.

Rounding it all out is a carefully assembled selection of paper ephemera and autographed photographs — the kind of signed, storied pieces that simply don't appear at ordinary sales.

Three days. One chance. Don't wait for day two ! Items to include : Rockne Era Notre Dame Year Books and football programs, Beatles Butcher Cover 3rd state ,
