How has no one has opened bidding on the Calling All Chiefs Fans auction item? We priced the official NFL licensed KELCE and MAHOMES jerseys and authentic Riddell youth helmet and confirmed that this basket is a steal! Even so, we have dropped the opening bid to make it more enticing to bidders. Check it out at https://caps-atascadero.betterworld.org/auctions/auction-education-2026-2/items/calling-all-chiefs-fans
