Posted By: <b>Max Weder</b><p>Here are two auctions of the same 1858 Baseball and Cricket book, one on REA, one on Ebay. The ebay one is in arguably better condition (not ex-library on front but with what appears non-original tape on binding: tough to tell for sure without looking in person at both books), and fetched less money ($1435 versus $1900, not including the buyer's premium)<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6958114659" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6958114659</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/site/bid/bidplace.asp?itemid=3535&getauctionid=10" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/site/bid/bidplace.asp?itemid=3535&getauctionid=10</a><br /><br />Any other ebay auctions that have recently ended that can be similarly compared?<br /><br />Max<br /><br />ebay:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1115240683.JPG"> <br /><br />REA:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1115240704.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Adam B</b><p>Stretching it a bit but 1913 Tom Barker game at REA and 1913 National Game on ebay. The REA set was generally graded as VG-EX to EX and the ebay set was all PSA graded at 6.18 (with a Cobb 7 and Jackson 6). The REA set went for $2,000....<br /><br /><a href="http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/site/bid/bidplace.asp?itemid=2625&getauctionid=10" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/site/bid/bidplace.asp?itemid=2625&getauctionid=10</a><br /><br />and the ebay set went for $2200....<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=26362&item=5190038971&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=26362&item=5190038971&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW</a>
