What did you get in Heritage auction?
 

I got shutout.

But I did watch a PSA 3 Cobb Green sell for $14,400! :eek:

So what did the rest of you win?

It's a beaut for sure but :eek:!

The Topps 52 Mantle PSA 7 sure has come back down to earth at $132K, unfortunately I still can't afford it.:(

I was wondering where it, and the other 52's finished? I did see the Pafko and Mathews fetching some pretty decent money earlier but I have no idea if those were above or below previous sales?
(P.S. thanks for the link)

Shut out in pre-war, but thanks to the hobby's centering fetish I was able to pick up these post-war rookie cards.

Picked up a great looking 79 opee-Chee Gretzky rookie in a PSA 8. Definitely an unusual get for me, but always wanted one of the Great One, and now I have one. I thought the t206s brought some very healthy prices, and some of the early 1950's were a steal (see 51 bowman Mays 6 and 52 topps Jackie 4.5, etc).

I won a trio of Sovereign's

I also won a lot with a very rare Mordecai Brown! Who else was watching this and knows what it is?

Aaron PSA 9 rookie came down to earth in heritage too selling for $192k. Last august Aaron PSA 9 rookie sold for $358k in heritage. Price dropped about in half in less than a year.
Also Aaron PSA 8 rookie sold for $19k last night.

:Some got a heck of a deal on the 510 lot of T206.............. ton of tough, tough backs and combos.....................

................. and it wasn't me :(


BTW, if someone here won it, let me know, I could help unload a few for you .............:)

I got outbid in the wee hours on two steals (what I thought were steals)....

I would imagine there are quite a few collectors out there buried into their 2s-6s. Yikes:eek:

I won that 51 Bowman Mays. Couldn't believe it. I went to bed early and never thought my high bid would hold. I'm happy though!!

Anyone surprised? Still way too high for how plentiful they are.

Oh I am quite certain there are many people who are surprised. Some of them posted constantly telling all of us how it was a new era in collecting. :confused:

Some of those collectors are playing musical chairs, and unfortunately, now realize their chair is missing.

The new era looks like this.

You stole that Mays 6. I was the underbidder and went back and forth on whether to re-up, but I didn't, so it's yours! Great card and great buy, congrats

Reggie! Reggie! Reggie!

And almost Lajoie! Lajoie! Lajoie!

Aaron psa 8 rookie sold for $19k is a new low.

I picked up the exmt '33 Goudey Vance, a card for which I had been questing for a long time, and a Fatima T200 vg of the Cubs. Still amazed at the volume and price levels of dollars thrown at the Willies, Micks, Hanks, Roses, Sandys etc. and the market's ability to absorb the seemingly endless supply on offer by the auction houses. Must be a happy time for consignors of these cards. A brave new world? If so, my target market segment has definitely shrunk.

And yet still too high.

It will be interesting to see where the PSA 8 Mantle in Hunts' upcoming auction ends up.

Lone pickup. It had great eye appeal. I don't even collect hockey cards or even know who the player was.

This guys rookie card??

Nice job on the Lajoie. I was bidding on it, but decided to put my money elsewhere. You got a great buy.

I was going to post that I couldn't remember a 33G Lajoie in a 2 holder selling for that much. Within the last year heritage sold a very comparable 2, it was centered better than this one and had a staple hole (this example has a tear). That one went for less than 24K.

I think the "almost" in his comment means he missed on the Lajoie.

factory 25? What's the rarity?

You scored big on that Mantle!!

I won the 56 mantle psa 8, thought I got a nice deal on that card

Also won the 59 Gibson psa 8, it might have been a touch high but I felt it was still the better looking card compared to the 9 and the high grade sgc

David - you got a great deal on that card. Nice looking 56 Mantle, and price was great as a buyer. Probably the best price I have seen on one in a while and some have gone as high as $12-13k in recent months.

KC

thanks KC

i felt like centering was pretty good, it's not perfect but not noticeably off especially for this set. the corners are nice, right side looks a little rough cut and bottom right corner is touched, again not perfect but not noticeable. great color on this card i thought.

i just felt like the card was in the right holder, and it was a perfect card for my set. i was surprised my bid held up but not complaining!

and at $1750 LESS than the last one in PWCC a month ago, well that almost paid for the Gibson!

It makes me smile realizing that if it were a T206 people would be stoked about the uniqueness and would actually be worth far more than a comparable condition card.

This hobby.....

Another low was mays 51 bowman psa 8 selling for $50k.

Right? How many of you have a Mickey Mantle/Jackie Jensen rookie card?
