Default REA: What Did You Win?

The REA Auction is finally over.

I missed out on the N162 Kelly as part of my planned two-part upgrade, but did with the other half - N28 Ward and finally got my Satchel Bowman RC.

-feel like I got a good deal on the Ward, but paid too much (though it seems to be the current market) for the Paige.

Overall, in spite of the disappointment of not landing the Kelly card, it was okay. The seller's fee aka buyer's premium alone for the Kelly wound up being a grand! I'll be paying out $560 extra for my two cards.

Time to re-evaluate the wisdom of continuing to purchase any card through auction houses.

Edge to the 'bay, perhaps?
