So what do you think is most undervalued at REA right now?

[GregMitch34]

Thought I'd try this as an experiment--maybe it is the third rail here, given competition for items... But perhaps some community-minded folks (who maybe never bid at REA or only go for a select few lot) would like to point to some cards at REA, with one day to go, that seem like they may end up as real bargains. Might be a fun exercise, or perhaps I am dreaming.... I will contribute that at least some of the great Rose PCs may go for nice prices...

..I expect a real dramatic frenzy bidding war over the '34 Exhibit card , autographed by Gehrig, Ruth, Etc. One of a kind......I'm glad I'm not into autographs.

[deadballera]

I think you're dreaming. This kind of thread might make sense after the auction.

Agreed. Anyone who thinks there is a bargain to be had is probably planning to bid today or tomorrow. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to discuss them on Sunday.

[GregMitch34]

On the one hand, I don't care and didn't expect much. On the other hand, it amazes me that people are protective of their self-interest--when there is literally a thousand lots that they are NOT bidding on that they might comment on. Gee, if anything, direct people AWAY from some lots you are interested in.

Secondly, while it's true that it's hard to say what final prices might be the day before there are also many cases where bidding on certain lots lag--right up until the end. It's not a waste to ID some of those. I've won many bargains that I assumed would take off and never did--with so much competition, as at REA.

[iowadoc77]

Bargains are typically not available at REA. See page 8753 of catalog under magnification. It is all spelled out perfectly

[sb1]

Biggest bargain I could find was the T207 Weaver SGC 80

[shernan30]

I put in some pretty healthy bids not even considering the 20% BP. Actually over market value. The last time I checked......well let's just say, I'm glad there is still the BST.

(Im not into the extended bidding stuff. Enter my best bid at the start and hope for good news Sunday morning.)

I hope the bidders I'm competing against follow your philosophy! :D

[pokerplyr80]

An 09 Yankees world series ring for 10k seems like a bargain to me.

[MVSNYC]

T206 miscuts.

[Leon]

The free catalog is undervalued, not much else i can see :).

[mybuddyinc]

Certainly NOT the items I'm looking at !!!!!!!

[Bored5000]

I don't think the answer to the original question is the '77 Reggie Jackson Orioles proof card. The card started at $1,000 and is now at $40,000. :eek:

that makes sense this is 37k higher than my Mordecai Brown signed m101-2 :confused:

That is out of whack. But lots of crazy bidding often takes place at REA in the after-hours portion of the auction. With 16 bids so far, there seems to be a lot of interest in your Mordecai Brown supplement. it could still shoot through the roof late tonight/early Sunday morning.

[rjackson44]

have to agree with leon the free catalog priceless smile.

[William Todd]

I miss the free magnet that came with the catalog..

[ajjohnsonsoxfan]

I'm tracking approx 50 lots and all except a couple are at or above historical highs. We're looking at a major record price setting auction tonight

[shernan30]

I doubt I'll win anything tonight. Prices are insane!!

The Cameo Pepsin lots. I guess these are rare/obscure enough that no one collects them.

[mechanicalman]

I think lot 1202, the 1989 Topps Wall Street IPO uncut sheet, could be had for a song. I mean, it features a Sandra Horbach rookie card. I'm sorry, but I don't know who would bid on this other than the people in the cards.

[Leon]

If there was anything undervalued there isn't anymore :).

[atx840]

Some very strong prices tonight.

[Kingcobb]

What time has this ended in the past I am running out of money:)

Unless you have the only bid on an item you haven't spent anything yet :). I just spoke to a friend who said he is about to start bidding.....from his marker bids. I called another friend at 930pm and he was sleeping so he could get up at 2am. Who knows when it ends but a lot of bids are coming in...

If I recall, maybe 4-5 AM EST, as for ending...but it's their call.

[T206Collector]

The "Fair Warning" email hasn't even gone out yet, and that usually goes out an hour ago...!!! :eek:


....ah, there it is! Home stretch now!

[ajjohnsonsoxfan]

Leon how many items are still in play for you?

3-4 small ones out of 203 individual items bid on....

I can't remember the last time I stayed up this late.

[T206Collector]

East Coast here - last time I stayed up this late was for an REA about five years ago...

[Sean]

Still going as I write this. :rolleyes:

[clydepepper]

I checked about 45 minutes ago and it was still going.

My plan to do two upgrades went bye-bye when one of them when through what I thought was the roof...higher dollar card with the 20% added get way too high too quick for me.

I think I'll pass the next time...hope I can resist.

Leon - IM(very)HO,I think there are a lot of items that are Over Priced, not sure about Over-Valued...I guess that depends on eventual resell value, huh?

Looks like it's done! I beat the zzz's

[philliesphan]

Great auction, Brian!


What a fun finish. Some really surprising lots -- both on upside, and some at relatively bargains.

[bxb]

Closed 5:38 am EST.

I'm surprised how many bids were still going on between 4 am and the finish.

Yikes, no wonder I lose so much.

[philliesphan]

Easier to play in auctions like these since I moved to London!

[pherbener]

Mad I Missed this. I know it's not baseball... or pre-war but damn!! 52-53 Terry Sawchuck SGC 98 $1500

http://bid.robertedwardauctions.com/bids/bidplace?itemid=40669


Seems it went for a small fraction of what it should. Sold at Mile High last year for more than double and that seems way to low. Am I missing something??

[glynparson]

Looks like i have to go digging i have a few of those sheets somewhere, purchased from a topps executive, $500 holy cow.

[Sean]

I should try this! ;)

[glynparson]

I will gladly buy HOF T5's (cardboard mount) for what I payed for the Jennings.

[Bored5000]

I know bargains are hard to find at REA, but I thought the Eddie Plank E104-1 Nadja Caramels card went cheap. It sold for $900 + the BP. At Leon's Heritage Auction last year, a different SGC 30 of Plank went for over $2,000.

http://bid.robertedwardauctions.com/bids/bidplace?itemid=39259

[bobbvc]

I thought the Orange Borders complete box for 1,600 and the Wagner Rose PC for 7k were pretty good deals. (I didn't get either however).

Agreed! Great deal!

The one in HA had a Nadja back, much scarcer.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the clarification. :)

The appeal in those is not so much with the people on the cards, but with the fact that it's rare and made by Topps. Some collectors go nuts for this esoteric Topps stuff, and it's a cool collecting niche, in my opinion (even if those that collect it are a bit "out there" :cool: :p ).

Good idea to find those sheets and maybe offer a few up.

[glynparson]

I have found 3 of them, positive i have a couple more. need to get them up on the bst.

[bobbyw8469]

The Sawchuck went cheap, but not surprising. SGC just doesn't seem to get the bids PSA does. Maybe the Mile High one went too high??
