All proceeds will support non-profit organizations on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19.

* PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY PRIOR TO SUBMITTING A BID IN THE AUCTION. PLACING A BID CONSTITUTES ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BELOW. *

Am I required to have a CollectibleXchange.com account to submit a bid?

  • Yes, in order to bid, a customer must first have an account with CollectibleXchange.com. Click the small "person” image in the top right corner of the header to create an account. Once you are logged in to your account, you can enter a bid on an item. There is no registration fee associated with creating an account, and you do not need to enter any credit card information to register. Only those bidders who win the auction must provide their credit card information.

When does bidding open?

  • Assuming that you have created an account and are logged in to CollectibleXchange.com, you may begin bidding as soon as the auction goes live at 8:00PM EST on May 22, 2020. Once a bid is placed, it may not be retracted for any reason.

How does the bidding process work?

  • All bids must be submitted online through the CollectibleXchange.com bidding system. There is no other method of placing a bid. Each auction item will have a starting bid as posted in the listing. All bids must be expressed in United States Dollars. The incremental amount between bids is Fifty US Dollars ($50.00), meaning that any subsequent bid placed must be Fifty US Dollars ($50.00) more than the current winning bid.
  • The CollectibleXchange.com online auction system is a “specific bid” system. In this bidding system, when a customer enters a bid amount, that amount is the amount that he or she agrees to pay for the item. Once a customer submits a bid for the desired bid amount (in $50.00 increments), the bid cannot be retracted for any reason. If another customer bids on the same item, then that newly placed bid is now the top bid. Any customer may enter a bid at any time during the auction’s duration, and a customer may place a higher bid on top of their own current winning bid if he or she desires. The auction will close promptly at 11:59PM EST on May 24, 2020. At the time the auction closes, the customer with the final highest bid will win the auction item. There is no extended bidding period. We reserve the right to accept or refuse any and all bids. Title shall not pass to the successful bidder until all invoices are paid in full. It is the responsibility of the buyer to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they have been delivered to a common carrier or third-party shipper.

What am I responsible for if I have the winning bid?

  • By submitting a bid, the customer acknowledges and agrees to enter a legally binding contract to purchase the auction item from CollectibleXchange.com. The customer is responsible for reading the full item listing, bidding instructions, accepted payment methods, and for paying the full bid amount as well as any applicable shipping, handling, and tax charges associated with the purchase. The customer with the winning bid is bound by this contract to pay for the auction item at the final winning bid price.
  • Immediately upon the close of the auction, the winning bidder will be sent an email with an invoice in the amount of the winning bid expressed in United Stated Dollars. THE WINNING BIDDER MUST SUBMIT THEIR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION WITHIN FIVE (5) DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THE INVOICE IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE WINNING BID. If the winning bidders fails to submit payment through the invoice within five (5) days following receipt of the invoice, we will contact the second-place bidder. At that time, the second-place bidder will be considered the winner of the auction, and the above steps will be followed with the second-place bidder.
  • The customer that wins the auction must submit their credit card information online after receiving an electronic invoice by email. By entering his or her credit card information, the winning customer is authorizing CollectibleXchange.com and its designees to charge his or her credit/debit card in accordance with the payment terms outlined in these terms and conditions, or as otherwise agreed upon by the parties hereto, for the item(s) reflected on the auction item invoice.

How much will I be charged for shipping?

  • Shipping and tax charges will be calculated based on the winning bidder's shipping address, unless otherwise specified. Receiving time will vary based on shipping address.

How can I ensure the item’s authenticity?

  • Each piece of memorabilia available for auction is collected, authenticated, and officially licensed by the IMS/INDYCAR, and comes with a certificate of authenticity. CollectibleXchange.com will be the final judge of the authenticity of each and every piece it sells. We are not bound by the opinion of outside authenticators and so-called experts.

Can I return an auction item?
