RMY winnings

[Lordstan]

Another well run auction from Rhys. Great job.

Show off what you won. The biggest surprise of the auction has to be the Max Carey photo going for over $2400 with BP!:eek:

So my last Christmas present from the wife was won tonight. I really love her.

Which one did you end up with?

[Lordstan]

Andy,
Nice Haul.

I guess by your post that you can't see the photo I posted.
Can you see this one?

Why would that Carey have sold for such a high price?

[prewarsports]

I was as shocked as anyone with the Carey image. My thinking is that it is a rare image of him from a particular year (rare uniform style) etc. There are some passionate collectors out there with very specific tastes!

I appreciate all the bids and think the Sunday format worked fine for a first go-around. The Auction ended at midnight and nobody had to lose any sleep.

I was hoping to see a response to this also. I was wondering if it had to do with him being with Booklyn.

I just bought a 1912 photo of him in the RMY in November for minimum bid. There seems to be a huge difference considering one is his Sophmore Season and the other is his last. The one I bought does have more condition issues, but again it is quite a leap.

There always seems to be an inconsistency in image prices still. For instance I was trying to research AAGPBL photo prices when I bought some and found this image sold for $51.79 in Sept, 2013.

Then in June, 2014 (10 months later) this image sold for $286.12

1915 Paddy Bauman NY Yankee

1914 George Bain photo of Hank Robinson Cardinals and also 1918 NY Yankees.

I quit bidding long before final selling price but believe this 1961 Mantle sold rather strong at $1k. Tremendous action shot however.

I will admit that RMY has turned me into a photo collector. :)

Picked up a couple of the cheaper items. Seems every auction I pick up one or two. RMY is the only place I've ever bought a picture from!

I almost bid on the Robinson but decided against it.

I feel the same way. I have always been a card guy. But I am starting to like photos more the past few months. I love the displayability of them.

I won the Jack Fourneir photo:
