This went for a lot less than I thought

Posted By: <b>Max Weder</b><p>This item went for less than I thought (but more than I sniped <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> ). I have seen a number of these; O'Toole is replaced by Walter Johnson in a variant. Very cool item

Posted By: <b>Harry Wallace (HW)</b><p>That is a pretty nice S110. It would easily bring $5,000 in a major auction. <br /><br />Good buy for someone.

Posted By: <b>dstudeba</b><p>My snipe was beaten also, but not by much. However $5,000 at a major auction house is very optimistic in my opinion.<br /><br />In the December 2005 Sotheby's auction, one sold for $3300.<br /><br />In the November 2006 Hunt auctions, <a href=http://www.huntauctions.com/online/imageviewer.cfm?auction_num=29&lot_num=904&lot_qual=&url_referer=view_lots_items_list.cfm>one went unsold</a> with an estimate at $3,500 - $4,500<br /><br />Please let me know where I am wrong in my valuation of $3,000 - $3,500<br /><br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Richard</b><p>Dan - I don't think your valuation is out of line. There were enough people who saw it, including me, that could have run it up if we had wanted to.

Posted By: <b>joe</b><p>I bought one of these in Mastro auction in 1998 for just under $3000.00 with juice. It is in better condition than the one on ebay I think.<br /><br />Joe<br><br>Ty Cobb, Spikes flying!

Posted By: <b>Harry Wallace (HW)</b><p>The last one in Mastros December auction went for $6,500.<br /><br />It looks like it is in real nice condition in their catalog, so I was just using that number and discounting the one on ebay since it was not as nice.<br /><br />No matter, the one on ebay was definitely a good deal at $2,300.
