Posted By: <b>David Seaborn</b><p>Personally, I thought the run on Mayos was amazing. Hoping for several lots (even late into each evening), I ended up with only one card - the Ewing (Cin). I thought for sure I would get more. If someone won those and wants to part with a few of the commons (esp. Glasscock-Pit), please contact me.<br /><br />Hope most N54ers fared better than I did. Still, I'm thankful I got something.

Posted By: <b>Tom Hines</b><p>I won the Mayo lot of 14. I was a little surprised with how far I had to go to get them but I have been holding out long enough on a couple of those cards. What a rush it is though (seems odd to get excited about spending money!!!).<br /><br />Tom

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>My top bid on the Weiser Wonder cabinet wasn't even close to the final price. Not a good time of year for the card budget. <img src="/images/sad.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Tony Andrea</b><p>Was lucky enough to grab the Sgc-50 E90-1 Bill Sweeney (Boston), lot #2230 at what I thought was a great price. Was just nipped on some of the other American Caramel lots though. If anyone on the board won some of the other E90-1 card lots and has dupes, let me know. Thanks, Tony<br /><br /><img src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a95/andreatny/sgc50e90-1sweeney.jpg">

Posted By: <b>dan mckee</b><p>I am with you brother! I needed that one so I went for it. But I had to ignore the rest of the catalog. I think I will go through it now to see all of the neat stuff I missed out on. Happy Holidays. Dan.

Posted By: <b>Brian McQueen</b><p>Score one for the Net 54 Secret Cabal! I guess it's not so secret anymore though.....<br /><br />Alan, I've certainly lost my share of auctions to you in the past. I'm glad I didn't have to compete with you this time (for once) <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Take care,<br />Brian

Posted By: <b>ockday</b><p>13K !!!! <br />I really thought the set would do at least 10K..oh well things even out as I never dreamt that the e90-3 set would sell for over 3 times what I paid for it about a year ago.<br />I won't really be bidding much on caramels as I have now sold off most of my sets except for my e103's, e94's and e97's so prices should be coming down a bit <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br />Good luck guys.<br />Alan

Posted By: <b>Joe Tocco</b><p>Was anyone else surprised that a football set realized the highest price for a card item in the auction? Over $90k for an N302 set... granted it has one of the nicest Dunlap's you'd expect to see, but wow.

Posted By: <b>MVSNYC</b><p>i was outbid on the T200 Cleveland card...<br /><br />and i was the underbidder on the 1913 WS stub...<br /><br /><br />no biggie, that frees up more money for T206 cards. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br /><br />Dan- just curious, why you would crack out the B-News card? if it didn't have the writing on it, and maybe were graded a 5, would you still crack it out?

Posted By: <b>dan mckee</b><p>I would crack it out if it were graded a 10. Grading is a complete joke in my eyes and I have no use for it except when selling. Since my News cards are getting buried with me, I am going to race them to the fastest decomposition.

Posted By: <b>Rhys</b><p>Paul<br /><br />I too was praying for a winning bid on the Weiser Wonder cabinet photo. I only live about 30 miles from Weiser Idaho and have been there many times so it seemed this item was meant to be with me forever. I figured about 5K would take it, but appearantly I was way low. That piece is one of those things that I will remember and possibly regret not buying for years to come. <br /><br />Rhys Yeakley

Posted By: <b>Rhys</b><p>I have not been to the fiddle festival but we will probably check it out this year. Weiser is a cool little town because all of the original old turn of the century brick buildings are still there even though it is a largely rural area. The telephone building that Johnson worked in while he payed baseball is still there and the town still has a really cool old feel to it. <br /><br />I saw that postcard from Mile High at the Sun Times Show and examined it in person. I will probably go for it but the Weiser postcards are a bit of an anomoly to me. I think the photo in Mastro is from when Johnson played for Weiser because it from a Weiser studio and a period mount, but all the postcards I have seen are from much later, almost like a commemorative issue or something. The one in Mile High is postmarked from 1918 and that is fairly consistant with the others I have seen as far as age. <br /><br />
