Posted By: Brian McQueen I've always had a soft spot for a large group of cards from tough sets. I picked up lot #89, the group of 56 t209-2s. <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1233811098.JPG" alt="[linked image]">

Posted By: BobThanks Paul. As an E94 fanatic I always watch the prices on E94s and was rather stunned at the high prices fetched by the violet Byrne and the blue Lobert. I know violets are sought after because of their color and perceived scarcity and that Lobert is a tougher common in the set but I was surprised by the hammer prices. It appears that maybe E94s are not being affected as much by the economy, etc. than other cards, who knows? TBob

Posted By: Jason Lthanks for sharing, guys. these threads are always so dangerous as they get me interested in things I have no business playing with! Ted, really like those premiums - never seen those before. And all of a sudden I am getting an itch to collect CJs in SGC holders. shoot! <img src="/images/happy.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="happy.gif">

Posted By: Ted ShermanThey will be crossing over to the DARK SIDE, unless I get all the money on ebay for the Wood. Though I love the card and it hardly ever comes for sale, the last SGC 40 was $676, that would pay for the bulk of the lot

Posted By: Anthony S.Congrats, Brian. I've always found the outdoor photographed T209's to be some of the coolest cards around.

Posted By: Rhett YeakleySorry, just need to vent a little... but why in an auction that has resetting clocks after a bid is placed do people place a bid on an item with only a few seconds left on the 30 minute reset? Are they too stupid to realize this isn't ebay or is it a strategy that is completely over my head? -Rhett

Posted By: JKSpeaking from experience, I'd say its because the ticking time clock causes people to talk themselves into going one more bid than they planned, but not until the last seconds when they realize that its now or never.

Posted By: MattI want to apologize to any lawyers for any part I may have had in bidding up a 1920s Canadian issued Ty Cobb card. <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/mwieder" rel="nofollow">My Trade/Sale Page</a>

Posted By: Jeff LichtmanThat's ok, Matt, some lawyers bill out at $850 an hour or more and a couple extra hours of work probably won't impact their year all that much to make up for the cost of the card.

Posted By: MattCongrats Jeff! I actually bowed out before the very end, so you owe the final hammer to someone else <img src="/images/happy.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="happy.gif"> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/mwieder" rel="nofollow">My Trade/Sale Page</a>

Posted By: Glen VI picked up the lot of 20 SGC 30 '15 Cracker Jacks, including Gandil, Evers, Clarke, and Plank. Came in second on the 20 SGC 40 lot (sorry for the late bid Ted, but nice win!) I'll have some duplicates if anyone wants to trade - also have a few extra SGC 40/50s available.

Posted By: Larry OAnybody here beat me out on the '14 Alexander?

Posted By: JasonI was dog sick otherwise I would have snatched that up. That card was a steal at $2400, even with tilt. I sold my SGC 60 for $8,500 the last 1915 Alexander I had in SGC 30 I got $2k. Someone stole that one and the Cobb SGC 40 at $4,800. I hope a board member got those. Tony Andrea.....please tell me you won those. Jason

Posted By: JayRhett--IMO they do it to annoy the people they are bidding against in the hope those people will give up because of the time involved
