REA - how'd ya make out?

[scooter729]

Discussion aside from the hard midnight close, there were some very impressive items up for grabs last night. Who ended up as high bidders when the clock struck 12?

One lot coming my way - I've been keeping an eye out for one of these for a while, and was happy to add this one!

[bobbyw8469]

Honestly...I forgot about them. I wish I hadn't as I lost a lot I really wanted to win. It went cheap too.

[Bicem]

That was a steal Scott, nice pickup!

[CobbSpikedMe]

Love K-Bats. Nice pick up.

[bobfreedman]

The photo was very under-priced IMO and the composite piece fits nicely with my other A's pieces

[paul]

I won this one. Just missed out on the beautiful Nadja World's Champions Eddie Plank.

Nice Joe...

That Browns Tri-fold is a beautiful piece at a pretty nice price. I love the Jackets they're sporting... especially displayed in panoramic style.

Speaking of the Brownies... did anyone here win Lot 1914 (the 1888 Browns Celluloid piece?) I thought that item was stunning as well, but it exceeded my budget with a late-night flurry.

Did anyone look at the Harwood Trade Card? Sold for $2500 less than consignor purchased it in 2005. I saw a similar card on Ebay over the weekend, though he Seller (who would appear to have sold a significant number of items on Ebay) specifically stated that it (the Ebay one) may be a reproduction. Just wondered about people's thoughts. Could just be that the consignor way over paid way back when.

[rats60]

Not prewar, but I have been looking for a high grade copy of this and finally got it last night.

Nice job David. The best two of the Brown’s Champs.

I have two other Browns Champs, and once I have these two in hand, I figure I might as well go for the whole subset.

one of the nice things about t206s is that they can always be found in affordable grades. nice job.

I picked up a couple 1914 CJs for my set.

Marquard and Packard.

Had high bid on one card for about 4 hours Sunday, wasn't sure if I made a mistake. Eventually I was outbid in the overtime, and the next 8% I needed was too much IMO. "It" happens, as Forrest Gump says on TBS.

[toppcat]

Just this one, but it's the one I wanted the most:

Two great pickups Richard! That Winthrop is too rare for it's own good. I was hoping to pick that one off late. That is one of the rarest postcard sets ever made and most folks don't talk about them.

[RCMcKenzie]

Great cards, all. That K-Bats team card is really cool.

If the winner of the OJ lots 78 and 84 wants to sell a Fogarty, let me know. Thanks.

I had the Sporting Times Keefe on my bidder card and was ready to take it if no one else wanted it, but it ended up selling over 10K. Was languishing below 2k for a long time. Congrats to the winner of it.

Here are 2 T216's of Evers...

Jay, was it you who tried to snipe it at away from me at 11:59? I agree about the Winthrop being too rare. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a couple more, but I've only been able to find of 3 McGinnity, 1 Brown, 2 Mathewson, and 1 Dixon (Boxer).

For anyone not familiar with these, here is a animation of the Brown from the old cardboard website

I unfortunately struck out in REA for the first time in awhile. Luckily they were nothing to get too upset over:D

Great pickups everyone!

[mark evans]

OT: I won a Bob Dylan handbill for a concert in my home town (Norfolk) during my senior year in high school (1966). Unfortunately, I didn't attend the show.

As to baseball, Chuck Stobbs and Hank Foiles were the battery for my high school (Granby) but long before my time ('46 I believe).

[IMAXMAX]

Is the image reversed on that Gibson?

good eye Sean,yes it is...kind of:::

from the listing---
On the offered card, Gibson is shown in a left-handed pitching follow-through pose, the result of a prank played by Gibson on the Topps photographer tasked with compiling images for use in the upcoming set. The prank was ultimately discovered by editors at Topps and corrected with the portrait image before the final run...

[Exhibitman]

That Winthrop is great!

I knocked off two cards I wanted, a 1962 Pittsburgh Exhibit Mays and a 1985 Star Jordan Slam Dunk.

Glad to see the Mack find a good home, I traded that off several years ago and was very tempted to buy it back in the auction, but decided to let it find another home as bidding on other items escalated.

I've also wanted a Connor Old Judge. I remember a beat to death raw '86 OJ came up. I threw a couple grand on it ... yeah ... it went for over 13k LOL. May upgrade at some point, but happy to have an authentic Connor for now.

This card has ALWAYS mesmerized me, and may be my favorite looking 19th century card, ever. I think it captures the game magnificently - bare hands and all. But ... where is he playing, on the beach? It looks like he is in the middle of a beach/park day playing a game.

Last, but not least - drool. It has a spot of paper loss on the back which is my favorite kind of damage. I have the M116 Wags, but this is just that much closer to a T206. I like to think of it as the exact opposite of a T206. Candy, blue, reversed image ... just perfection.

What a fantastic E90-2 Wagner - an incredible 1! There were 3 E90-2 Wagners in the auction in various grades - I bet if there hadn't been 3 running at the same time, any of those three would've sold higher. I think you got a decent deal on a card with such fantastic eye appeal!

It's a great piece. I have one framed. I have all of the 19th century Harper's Weeklies and almost all of the Leslie's Illustrated from the 19th century that contain wood cuts etc depicting baseball. All Leslie's are also full newspapers other than this one -- although my print is in a bit better condition. I thought this would go to about $600 or so, so I didn't bid. You got a good price. Congrats.

I thought it was surprising how few bids it got. I got knocked out of another lot I wanted more, saw this one was still there, and put in a bid that held. Of course you have to factor in 20% vig and 10% sales tax (in CA).

On the issue of prices, I watch Exhibits and the Ruth single subject cards performed very well. They are getting quite pricey even in lower grades.

[Hankphenom]

Great card. I think you got a pretty good deal on it.

Here is one I got.

That has to be one of the real deals in the auction, Leon, haven't seen many of those over the years--and a great card! The Johnson Birthplace postcard also went way low, I thought. I picked up the WaJo 20th Anniversary letter and silk ribbon, a great combo to get framed, and a funny story of how they came about. With all the commotion, still a great hobby, isn't it?

My collection is mostly post war, but I have started dabbling in some pre war. Would like a Ruth card in the collection one day. Had the 21 Ruth Exhibit on the list with a placeholder bid -too busy swimming in all the Bazooka boxes to get back to it this auction though.

I consigned the WaJo 20th Anniversary letter and ribbon. They are very nice - the letter is in great shape for its age and the ribbon is practically flawless. I thought they would go for much more. I kept waiting for the bidding to pick up, but it never did. I think you got a great deal and they'll look great framed!

[Snapolit1]

When people say that "went too cheap", are they factoring in the the 30% upchage (commission, taxes, shipping, insurance) many of us would have to pay?

[Leon]

When people say that "went too cheap", are they factoring in the the 30% upchage (commission, taxes, shipping, insurance) many of us would have to pay?

Yes. I won 4 lots (total around 5k AFTER BP) and the total shipping was $20. That comes out to $5 bucks a lot for the incidentals, not including tax, which as of the moment I don't think REA charges for Texas.
When I bid in Heritage I factor in 30% over my max bid. I can't imagine a lot of people don't think about the BP and/or shipping/tax, though I know a few have mentioned they have forgotten.
That is like buying a car for 40k and forgetting about the sales tax. It makes little sense.

[MVSNYC]

I'd be shocked if there's bidders out there who don't factor in BP/tax, etc. If they aren't, I feel bad for them. When I note/remember prices I paid for things, it's always including BP...that's what I had to lay out for the item!

I actually put my landed cost as the price I paid. Not sure if that is correct but it feels like that is what I paid. :)
Not factoring BP and other costs in, is called a learning lesson. If someone does it too often they won't have to worry about it because they will be broke. :cool:

[honus94566]

I have kind of avoided bidding in REA for the last few years, amazing items but prices usually end up quite high.

It's astonishing to me that so many people over the years don't seem to understand this. I still hear things like I won't bid in that auction because I don't want to pay a 20 percent premium.

I kept waiting for the bidding to pick up, but it never did. I think you got a great deal and they'll look great framed!

Thank you, together they make a great WaJo item and it found the best home possible. I do have a question: did you get them together, and as far as you know, have they always been together? They were mailed out that way in 1927, and one of the things I liked about this lot was the possibility that they've come down through the years still together as issued. As for the price, the final tally including premium is exactly on target as I've tracked these over the years. The letter in good shape goes for about a grand, and the ribbon separately for $200-300. My bid--and it did hit my maximum--is what I would have paid for these at a show. Your problem is that once the consignor's fee is taken out, your take ends up below market. It does look like I had one other bidder testing my maximum for the last several bids, though, so it could have been worse! Looks like overall this was a soft auction, and who ever knows why that happens? Summertime, disgust with events in the hobby, softening economy, a combination of those? Those of us who have consigned to a lot of auctions over the years are used to frequent disappointment and an occasional "shoot the moon," but the one constant that keeps them going is that you send them your item and you get a check, done and done. And at least with REA you can never argue that whatever your items ended up at, that didn't reflect the true market at that time. If they didn't do well, nobody would have done better. Thanks again for the wonderful stuff, Nate, and know that they will be well taken care of and appreciated.

Yes, I can see that happening ONCE to a bidder, a learning experience as others had said! I always ask myself what I would pay for it at a show, then figure in the BP to calculate my maximum bid.

[Scott L.]

Agreed, although I get the sales tax thing since that creates an uneven playing field.

It certainly does suck that I have to factor in a 26% premium (20% + 6% PA sales tax) and folks in other states just pay the straight 20% When you try and stick to a budget and your bidding on items that are 2 and 3k that extra $150-$200 can make a difference. And I'm small time. What about the people that are playing in the upper ends. That's a huge hit. I assume every state will be collecting their tax in the near future though if they aren't already.

I bought a card off ebay today and I was checking out and I looked at the tax and did the math in my head and said that's not 6% it's 8%. Why am I paying 8%? Then I looked where the seller was from and they happened to be in Philly where there's an additional 2% tax so they are collecting that too!

I would love a running list of the email addresses of guys who sell on ebay to make it easier to try and buy off of it.

[barrysloate]

What sucks is having to pay nearly 9% tax, as we do in NY, and going head to head against someone who doesn't have to pay it. That leaves you at a full increment disadvantage on what becomes an unlevel playing field. But there is nothing you can do.

[perezfan]

Could be worse... WA is 10%

As for the inequity vs. bidders in other states... Is there a projected time-frame in which ALL states will be required to pay sales tax? This "staggered" start is killing us in Washington (first with eBay, then HA, now REA).

[Exhibitman]

Agreed, although I get the sales tax thing since that creates an uneven playing field.

Not for long; nearly all of the states have enacted rules that require AHs to collect the tax from the bidders. I had it added to my invoice from REA. Which is fine since I have to pay the use tax anyway if I am not charged for sales tax.

From what I read on eBay, each state passed its own law with its own trigger dates. I got a circular recently from the sales tax people here in Cali. Our state does everything on the basis of its fiscal year (7/1-6/30), so taxes and fees adjust or kick in usually in July or October (Q1). In our case, the state is requiring 'marketplace facilitator' sales tax collection starting October 1, 2019. REA might have jumped the gun but I don't care since I have to remit use tax regardless, so whether they collect and remit or I do, it is the same damned thing.

If you are a reseller and you are buying inventory you should be able to provide a resale permit and certificate to eBay and any AH and that should exempt you from paying sales tax up front. I've filed with eBay already.

[Jcfowler6]

Congrats on all of the winnings guys. I was the underbidder on many items listed.

Here’s mine.

My point was actually not whether people who buy something forget to factor in the 30%, but whether folks are looking at an item they didn't bid on at an auction and comment it "went cheap" are always appreciating the actual sale price vs. the hammer price. I assume they guy who bought it remembers the 30% or whatever it is.

[BeanTown]

Maybe we will see AHs absorb some of the cost soon. Buyers now have to factor in TAX. I thnk they should reflect that to the hammer price to see for future sales. Lets bring the BP (buyers premium) back down to 10-15 percent. And while we are at it, all AHs should use a private insurance company to pass on to the buyers. Instead of passing on actual Fedex or UPS insurance cost which is another 3-5 percent of the declared value.

[oldjudge]

This is an REA thread and REA charges $20 all in for shipping. Hooray for them.

No chance AH's start reducing their BP's to offset tax, why should/would they take on that burden? Guessing they all already have private insurance, the shipping costs they charge you help offset the policy costs, not just the actual shipping expense.

Maybe not REA though, shipping costs were extremely fair, looks like they are just covering actual shipping costs.

one of the nice things about t206s is that they can always be found in affordable grades. nice job.

This from a moron that knows squat about T206s.....

I’ve been selling off a good portion of my collection for the past couple years. Just recently, tides are turning, and I’ve made my first few purchases in a very long time. I’m starting slowly, but got one pick-up in REA. It wasn’t much, may have slightly overpaid, but I’m excited to actually be on the collecting side again.

Grabbed this Cobb for my growing Cobb collection... missed out on the 1926 World Series ticket which I wanted... oh well, next time!

[cubman1941]

I got the two 1907 Grignon Chicago Cubs Postcard John Kling and Frank Schulte which will go nicely with my others.

And they ship quickly. Great customer experience.

Yes they do. I received my winnings today.

[Rhotchkiss]

I got my card today. REA is super awesome, especially when it comes to shipping. Thanks Brian!

[Mark]

Congrats on all of the winnings guys. I was the underbidder on many items listed.

Here’s mine.

[Republicaninmass]

Now who bought thise ruth patent and proof cards?

Some serious rarities there!

One hit: N43 A&G Getzin.

Got the e90-1 adie joss pitching, totally going on my son's wall. Would love to get a willie keeler throwing someday, another great horizontal pose... probably the best pose esthetically

and e106 psa 4 Evers tie for highest graded...pumped about that card because it is a huge upgrade for my collection and same card sold on heritage a couple years ago for 1.2k. Great condition for such a tough set. I got it for much less thank goodness.

I was able to pickup a couple more T213 Type 2 Coupon Red Cobbs. Love these and think they are undervalued.

[PSACJ]

I won this Zach Wheat Conlon Type 1 for my collection!

I'll have one in my upcoming Prewar Auction. I agree with you, even the type 2 is tougher than any T206 Cobb.

[kdixon]

Love the Wheat .

[PSACJ]

KDixon,

Thank you. I’m super happy I was able to add it to my Conlon photo collection!

[eliotdeutsch]

So who won the raw T205 lot?

[LOUCARDFAN]

I picked up this one-of-a-kind gem.

[Bicem]

Love it Todd!

[GregZakwin]

I won this Zach Wheat Conlon Type 1 for my collection!

Absolutely beautiful!

I snagged these, very pleased with every one of them. Ended up being a super auction for me.

Working on a card for each HOFer, and just think these are super cool. They're actually a little bigger than I expected.

Thought this lot went a bit cheap, especially considering the Bender trees was an EPDG and its one of 6 at the grade with none higher.

Laj looks WAY better than a 2, couple spots of glue residue I think are what does it (mostly on the back, just a bit on the front bottom right). Sovereign back is somewhat uncommon, thought this was a really good value considering the eye appeal.

I feel like this is a very underrated card of Matty, I bid on all three but someone wanted that other one just a bit more than I did. I was pleased being underneath that one on these, though - great consolation prizes.

Finally, this was the highlight of my auction. I don't think I've seen another Young portrait with this rich of a green background. Sovereign back again is relatively uncommon. Was really happy to win it, and just as happy if not more now that it's in hand.
