Collectors and local sports and entertainment fans will have the chance to land items from a private collection of Cincinnati Gardens memorabilia.

Cincinnati-based online estate sale company Everything But The House launched an auction of more than 500 items from the 67-year-old venue. The sale, hosted on ebth.com, began Monday and runs through Aug. 21.

Cincinnati Gardens' memorabilia will go up for sale

The sale includes team jerseys from the Cincinnati Mohawks, Cincinnati Mighty Ducks and Cincinnati Cyclones, a 1953 Mohawks Governor’s Championship Trophy from the International Hockey League, a 1950s Mohawks hockey puck, vintage sports equipment, and original ticket stubs and programs. Many of the auction items have been on display at the Gardens’ “Legends Museum.” All items start at a $1 bid.

Private collector Dave Greene decided to auction the items because the Gardens’ new owner, the Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority, plans to demolish the facility.
