My only REA pickup this year. I've never seen another example and with a pair of future Hall Of Famers in Dizzy and Ducky I couldn't pass it up. Condition is rough but when an item is unique I am not so concerned about that.

It was eight years and hundreds of bids between wins so I am happy this AM!

Nice EJ!

Sean,

Great lot at a pretty good price. I noticed the abundance of modern game used bat cards. You may have enough to piece together the original bat they all came from! :rolleyes: That would be cool! Congrats!

Peace, Mike

[Donscards]

I won the Willie Mays Rookie--Jim Brown Rookie and the Ted Williams lot---Very happy to get the Mays card which is really in demand.

[pencil1974]

Picked up the two Anson photos. Since I have two if anyone is interested in one let me know.

Thanks, Mike. I really thought this lot went at a low price. There are some incredible rare and low population pieces and at $40 per piece /w premium and shipping I had to pounce on it.

I was high bidder on the comprehensive Reds collection, but that went incredibly high (I felt) and tapped out at around Midnight.

[Mountaineer1999]

Where did my old friend Phillippe end up? Still kicking myself over this one nine months later.

Won both t210 Series 7 and the Series 5 groups. Very happy with the prices on all 3. A couple really neat handcut examples with oversized borders are included in these which I'm anxious to be able to have a look at in person.

That's a nice one Jay. There are only 5-10 examples of Goldsmiths autographs known and that one is more detailed than the others I have ever seen. You got a great deal!

Brian, Scott, nice wins. Good to see a few board members pick those up. Brian those two cards are very interesting please do post single scans of those once you have them if you dont mind. I was a underbidder on 3 of the lots. Just not enough funds to make a winning play. Congrats everyone.

[packs]

I went after the Bobby Mathews KBatz but someone slipped one by me while I was sleeping. Congrats to the winner.

Sean,

Agreed $40 per was a steal. Speaking of "Reds" did you notice:
LOT 691: Extremely Rare 1971 Topps All-Star Rookie Artist's Proofs Bernie Carbo that went for $12,000!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Holy Cow!
A world record also for a PSA 8 Mikan 1948 Bowman Rookie in at $16,800 with commission! Incredible auction as always. Take care,

Mike

[griffon512]

Whoever won this lot, if you want to break up the partial set I have an interest in buying a few cards in it. Please send me a private message. If anyone on the board knows who won the lot it would be appreciated if you could pass along their contact info if appropriate. Thanks and congrats to all the winning bidders.

[glynparson]

and only walked away with a lot of two Turkey reds. Probably threw out close to 100k in early bids and only spent $700 plus bp. I was outbid before yesterday on all but two lots than lost one of those early yesterday. i had alll my top bids in so I did not have to wait up. Prices seemed pretty good to strong on what i bid on have not looked at the auction as a whole yet. anyone else have thoughts on strength of prices overall.

I was floored by the 70s proofs

[Bored5000]

I was floored by the 70s proofs

Those Carbo and Bowa proof cards going for $14K and $12K with the juice were two of the items that shocked me as well.

[bobfreedman]

Not baseball cards but two pick ups of mine. I dont know the reasoning why the Feller was slabbed???? The Barnum and Bailey Poster is large and I was fortunate to be the only bidder

[Stonepony]

Happy to win the Cobb Oxford Confectionery and the Orange Border Mathewson.

The Uzit and Lenox Cobbs did well

[mybuddyinc]

The Uzit and Lenox Cobbs did well


I don't know enough about the big time backs and high 1/1 T206. However, the "basic" T206's seemed to go above market. The near set of 519, to me, went notably high.

[mansco]

I've been distracted by "the Monster" and have been dormant with my press pins. A late last minute bid paid off!!!!!!!!!! :):):):):)

188034

[Bigb13]

Ty Cobb with the Ty Cobb back did well also I figured that Wagner would go higher go figure

[ullmandds]

I thought the Wags...Cobb/Cobb...Plank...sold where they should have. The Fred Photo Ruth is hot these days...tremendous returns on that one the last few years. My consignments did ok...no windfalls...but made a little.

A whole lotta 3 stooges shit seemed to sell for beaucoup bucks!

[Sean]

The Uzit and Lenox Cobbs did well

The Cobb Lenox in particular did very well.

[vthobby]

Not baseball cards but two pick ups of mine. I dont know the reasoning why the Feller was slabbed???? The Barnum and Bailey Poster is large and I was fortunate to be the only bidder

Bob,

2 fold on the '53......it looks even better and more protected in the slab and it also authenticates the item (which is duplicated quite a bit unfortunately). It looks incredible!

The Circus Baseball poster is incredible as well. Very rare!

Thanks for sharing!

I was underbidder on the group of 78 Three Stooges one sheets. There is still some meat on the bone for whomever won them...just not enough for me to go one higher.

N310 Mayo uncut strip. I sold this last fall in Heritage, regretted it ever since, and bought it back last night:

http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibitman/rareboxingcards/websize/N310%20Uncut%201.jpg

The fact that I got it back for 28% less than I sold it for is icing on the cake.

[Bigb13]

I figured Wagner at 1.5 and Plank at 50 but I was wrong

Why because there is no name and team on the bottom ?

[lug-nut]

I won NOTHING!!!!

[atx840]

The Barnum and Bailey Poster is large and I was fortunate to be the only bidder

Beautiful item, congrats.

[tbob]

Glad to finally pick this color variation up, it has been very difficult to find in any condition. This makes 5 of the 6 Cobbs acquired, one more to go :D

[Sean]

Yes, because it's a no-name. :cool:

Great stuff, y'all. That n172 Kelly port is sharp. Tom C., I think I have the same photo of the 1931 Buffs. Great photo. Wasn't expecting it, but I managed the J Wood cabinet. Fun auction.

[Mountaineer1999]

Long story short. Card was on Ebay last July, I outed it and price exploded. I should have just kept quiet and bid on the card. Being new to Net54 and to T206 I knew no better. I thought the card was altered as it didn't make sense to me that the name was missing but all the other colors seemed right. :eek::eek::eek: Lesson learned, some people happy some people not. :p:p

[Bicem]

Love the Wood cabinet, one of my favorite things in the auction.

I was the under-bidder here at 10 .. went to 11 within 15 mins of my bid. Couldn't pull the trigger to go to 12. Nice set, lots of great cards. Good luck in finding the winner, I may be interested in a couple if they are will to break-up as well :-)

I did win the E94 Wagner, SGC60 and Evers (SGC50). Good buys IMO, not great .. but nice investment (I hope :-)

If the winner of the Series 6 T210 lot now has duplicates of the T210 Thoss card, I will be glad to pay a strong price to finish my run of catchers in the T210 set that wear chest protectors.

Looking for a VG+ or higher example without creases similar to the T210s I currently own.

Thanks,

I picked up this lot of 11 type cards, mainly to obtain a halfway decent T216 Va. Extra card - I'll be looking to sell/trade most of the other cards: http://bid.robertedwardauctions.com/bidplace.aspx?itemid=33748

I also won this E222 A.W.H. Caramel card, giving me 7 of this 12 card set, which I'm not likely to ever complete: http://bid.robertedwardauctions.com/bidplace.aspx?itemid=33593

If a Board member won REA lot #386, the 10-card lot of T217 Mono Cigarettes, and doesn't need the off-condition Roger Peckinpaugh card, I'd love to have it for my collection of cards of players on the 1924 Senators team. Willing to purchase or trade - I have a T217 of Wm. Stein that I am willing to part with and other cards to trade.

If someone won lot 494 in REA, (1925 to 1952 card collection) I'd be interested in a number of the R315's, I don't need the Ruth though. PM me if any available.

I was the direct underbidder in lot 494. I was definitely looking to flip everything - just didn't see the value in one more bid though. I'm sorry. :-(

Nice pickups everybody....congrats!!!

Good afternoon:

What are you asking?

Thank you,

[RCMcKenzie]

Thanks, Jeff. Tom, I didn't mind seeing another 31 Buffs photo surface because now it is a scarce item instead of a unique item. Now they become a commodity.- Rob

[ls7plus]

Won the 1909-16 PC758 Max Stein Honus Wagner at a price I was well pleased with. I've wanted this card since seeing one for the first time at the 2009 National in Cleveland--great actual action photo, showing that virtual log of a bat most used during the dead-ball era. My first Honus, too, and a very tough one!

Happy collecting, guys,

Here's a write-up I found on the internet back when I bought the photo. You might find it interesting.

The Great 1931 Houston Buffs!

The Houston Buffs won 108 games in 1931 on their way to capturing first place by 14 games over runner-up Beaumont. Only the 1922 and 1924 Fort Worth Cats ever won more games in a single Texas League season. The Cats did it by posting 109 wins in each year of those two championship seasons.

Popularly selected as #42 on the list of Minor League Baseball’s 1oo Greatest Teams, the ’31 Buffs were the cradle of several players who would soon after go star as the backbone of the 1934 World Champion St. Louis Cardinals, the club that becamebetter known to entire baseball world as The Gashouse Gang. Few have forgotten the names and major league feats of pitcher Dizzy Dean and outfielder Joe Medwick – and only a handful more need to be reimnded all these years later of the pitching star that was Tex Carleton. It still doen’t hurt, every now then, to recall all the major parts of the whole that went into the making of a champion, so today, we bring you a brief look at the 1,starting lineup and star pitchers of the 1931 Buffs:

Starting Lineup

Ed Hock, 3b (age 32, BL/TL, .299, 0 HR, 42 RBI): The speedy Hock was an anomaly, a rule-breaker that few of us have seen in our lifetime, a lefthanded throwing third baseman. I even have trouble simulating a vision of Hock making routine plays in my mind. Oh, I can see him diving toward the line pretty well to stop balls headed down the line, allright; I just can’t see him getting up and making a throw to first. Hock made 31 errors for Houston in’31 and he had a .936 fielding average. When he first switched from outfield to shortstop at Oklahoma City in 1925-26, Hock made 74 and 68 errors consecutively, so, I guess his fielding record at Buff Stadium in 1931 marks improvement.

Carey Selph, 2b (age 29, BR/TR, .322, 3 HR, 88 RBI): Selph posted the Buffs’ second highest average. His ability to hit for average and in the clutch with men on base was a key to the ’31 championhsip season. He also had good range on defense and showed a native ability for knowing what to do in the field. In other words, Selph was “baseball smart.”

Homer Peel, lf (age 28, BR/TR, .326, 7 HR, 95 RBI): Peel finished with the highest team batting average. His ability as a contact hitter paired with Selph in producing baserunners and clutch hitting with other ducks on the pond.

Joe Medwick, cf (age 19, BR/TR. .305, 19 HR, 126 RBI): This guy was ripped long before anyone ever heard of LA Fitness and, in 1931, he had the glow of future stardom written all over him. Medwick led the Texas League in both homers and runs batted in during the ’31 season. He almost got stuck with the nickname “Muscles” until a female fan wrote Houston Post sportswriter Lloyd Gregory that she loved Medwick, even if he did walk like a duck. She even admitted to thinking of him as “Ducky” Medwick. Gregory agreed with the lady and published the story of Medwick’s new name.. He also started describing the young phenom as Ducky Medwick in his game stories. – It stuck. The rest is history.

Guy Sturdy, 1b (age 32, BL/TL, .295, 3 HR, 49 RBI): Sturdy was “Old Reliable” on defense at the most-outs bag and a steady bat in the lineup.

Earl L. Smith, rf (age 40, BB/TR, .272, 1 hr, 19 RBI): Only played 67 games before moving up to Columbus. He was replaced by Jim Sanders, who also subbed for Medwick in center on rare occasion.

Jim Sanders, rf-cf (age 29, BL/TL, .278, 1 HR, 40 RBI): Taking over for Smith, Sanders was a veteran minor leaguer who hit pretty well and did no harm in the field.

Hal Funk, c (age 31, BR/TR, .254, 1 HR, 50 RBI): Funk’s major contribution was his ability to handle and get the most out of a very young Dizzy Dean, but the other pitchers liked him as well. How many times do we see a championship club that doesn’t have a catcher who holds the confidence of a talented, but sometimes temperamental pitching staff? I can’t think of too many.

Tom Carey, SS (age 24, BR/TR, .240, 2 HR, 36 RBI): “Good Field/Mediocre Hit.” Yuong Carey got the job done in the field, anchoring the middle infield defense well in tandem with the more veteran Selph.

Pitchers:

DeanDizzy300 Dizzy Dean (age 21, BR/TR, 26-10, 1.53 ERA): Dizzy was brilliant and Houston loved him. His 26 wins and 303 strikeouts led the Texas League in 1931 and his 1.53 ERA tied him with Whitlow Wyatt of Beaumont for the lowest mark in the league.

George Payne (age 42, BR/TR, 23-13M 2.75).

Tex Carleton (age 25, BB/TR, 20-7, 1.90 ERA).

Elmer Hanson (age 36, B?/T?, age 36, 16-7, 1.81): I seem to remember a newspaper article that described Fowler as a righthander, but I cannot be sure.

Jesse “Pete” Fowler (age 32, 15-8, 2.40).

The above five pitchers accounted for exactly 100 of the Buffs’ 108 wins in 1931. Eight Buffs were subsequently named to the 13-man end-of-season Texas League All Star Team. These included: pitchers Dean, Payne, and Carleton, plus position players Self, Hock, Peel, Medwick and Funk.

In the end, the pitching, hitting, and defense was certainly good enough to carry the ’31 Buffs to complete victory under manager Joe Schultz, but the club fell a game short, losing the seventh game of the Dixie Series to the Birmingham Barons after sailing through the Texas League straight away championship and then winning the Shaughnessy Playoffs for their well-deserved pennant.

Sometimes the best of teams can’t win ‘em all because some other club happens to be better at a given moment in time. And when that moment in time happens to be Game Seven of the last series in the season, for better or worse, destiny takes a hand.

We’ve a long history of surviving this kind of disappointment in Houston and we will never give up the belief that is always inspired by a great team like the 1931 Houston Buffs: Our day will come!

I know how Heritage is after an auction with their shipping speed (or lack thereof). Anyone with REA experience?
I have already paid for my winnings so curious as to how many days it takes to ship and if they send tracking or not. VERY high value item. Thanks.

Peace, Mike

[mansco]

In the past, I've generally received my items within a couple of weeks. I check my bank to see when check was cashed and generally receive notification last than a week later that the item is being shipped. I think they use FedEx Ground with tracking.

They will send tracking, and yes they use Fed EX.

Jay, I love the Goldsmith signed card w/ amazing story that covers his significant contribution to the game. Very nice.

Lots of great items. I managed to win lot 45 (http://bid.robertedwardauctions.com/bidplace.aspx?itemid=33496), collection of five items for which I was only interested in the Syracuse Herald News Boy cabinet.

If whoever won the T210-4 Virginia Valley League lot doesn't happen to need the Carter, Davis, O'Connor, or Spicer cards - please pm me. Thanks.

[oldjudge]

I got my winnings today--lightning fast shipping! Thanks guys!

[Howe’s Hunter]

If the winner of lot 232 happens to be a board member, and they aren't that interested in the cards with the numbers 48, 51 and 349 written on the back in pencil, I would be interested in those cards. There may be something else on the back also, but I'm O.K. with that.

[Jay Wolt]

Those Stooges pieces are cool
Was watching the Stooges movie posters, lobby cards & Fleer cards get constant bids
Seems like a healthy market

[DixieBaseball]

I won NOTHING!!!!

I am with you Mark! Goose Egg me!!

Congrats Brian and Scott on the T210 lots. Be sure to eye ball those series on the back... You never know... May be a wrong back stuck in there!

Anyone win the Series 8 lots ? Would love to help you pay for it by purchasing several cards. :D

I received a Fed Ex tracking number today for tomorrow's delivery. No one is faster than REA in shipping or customer service.

I echo your sentiment. Any well managed, properly staffed operation should be able to ship packages within 1 business day of payment. I haven't received my tracking # yet, but sent payment this morning.

[Prince Hal]

If anyone on the board won Lot #159 and would like to sell the Austin, please let me know!

[vthobby]

I echo your sentiment. Any well managed, properly staffed operation should be able to ship packages within 1 business day of payment. I haven't received my tracking # yet, but sent payment this morning.

Sean,
I paid via wire transfer on Monday and got a FEDEX tracking # on Tue night.

Needed this for my baseball photo 'type' collection. He's been moving around too much.

Great image Scott. I bet that pitcher was pretty hard to hit from that distance.

[Runscott]

I bet these guys also had a tough time finding a catcher. Probably had to get a new one every couple of pitches.

[JeremyW]

Great image Scott. I bet that pitcher was pretty hard to hit from that distance.

Depending on what his follow-through looked like, I imagine he wasn't that hard to hit it all. With the bat, that is.

[sb1]

And FedEx has arrived!

[gnaz01]

They received my cashiers check today and my items are already tendered at FedEx :)

[mrvster]

everyone! absolutely great pieces:eek:

[vthobby]

REA winnings in hand and would have been sooner if I had been home yesterday when FEDEX arrived.
Incredible customer service just like Sterling Auctions.
REA even covered the FedEx at no charge!

Thanks!

Mike

[uffda51]

REA shipment arrived yesterday Thanks, guys!

[LKeeler]

Mine arrived as well. Top notch service from Brian and the gang at REA.

[timn1]

I could use some of the R315s from the lot- PM me if any available.

[Leon]

Mine arrived as well. Top notch service from Brian and the gang at REA.

REA has always given exceptional service. I struck out this year but they have always shipped immediately in past years.

[gnaz01]

This came today

Great pickup, Greg. I was the underbidder on the letter.

[bcbgcbrcb]

Why so much secrecy here, everyone is quick to post how fast their items arrived, now let's see them.........

[Chesbro41]

Arrived yesterday. Missed this one a couple times as it came up over the years. As a Gehrig guy it gets no better.

[geor952]

Congratulations Chesbro, that is a beautiful card!

[Leon]

They Don't get much better than that. Awesome pickup.

[LKeeler]

Why so much secrecy here, everyone is quick to post how fast their items arrived, now let's see them.........

I think it is because some of us are afraid of being teased for paying too much :) What the heck, here is my newest Matty. Always wanted a Carolina Brights back.

[Sean]

Luke, I've always heard that when it comes to high value cards, "you can never pay too much, you can only pay it too soon." Meaning that you may have overpaid for that card today, but it will increase in value. The good cards like that one always do, and will soon be worth more than you paid for it.

I use that theory to justify my purchases, and even if it doesn't always work, it does always make me feel better. :D

And that's a great Matty. :cool:

[LKeeler]

Thanks, Sean. Good words to live by! :D

[Howe’s Hunter]

What does the other side say, since it says "over" in the lower left hand corner

[familytoad]

:eek::eek:

I wanted to know who ended up with this beauty! Major congrats on such an awesome card.

I wanted to add to my horde. I actually have two of the amazing Type 2 Gehrigs but in low grade. There just aren't many of those, and as others have commented, yours is terrific!

I would have struggled to get momma to agree to a third and the associated cost of it...I guess she is probably right.

BUT once again, this is a great pickup! Congrats !!

[gnaz01]

What does the other side say, since it says "over" in the lower left hand corner

It is blank, not sure why Matty wrote "over" :confused:

[earlywynnfan]

I got one pink peanut. Seriously!! Thousands of white peanuts and one pink one. Who does this? I think someone at REA is F-in' with me.

Ken

PS: The group of signed baseballs that came with this is awesome.

[champaigneappetite]

Been a while since I took something home from REA! Been trying to score a cabinet with Uncle Paul on it for quite some time. I am very pleased with this pick up!

Been waiting for this for a looong time. Honored to have one of Jim B's cards in my collection.

Another monster card Pete!!! What I find most interesting about your pickups this month is that the Violet Murray is more scarce than both of your bigger acquisitions!!

[kkkkandp]

Damn, Pete! You are on a serious roll!
