Round 2 (2017) - https://onlineonly.christies.com/s/g...categories/374

Round 1 referenced a National Pastime Museum. I guess when you have a $5B net worth father, you can call your collection a museum if you want. The collection still sold for $10s of millions. I overpaid for a few items in both rounds, but there were certainly bargains in each.

Me too... overpaid and underpaid... i guess that it just the general law of averages when all is said and done... but I do think that, in general, most of the items in Christie's went for lower pricing that one would expect in the future... that is just my intuition. I would also tend to agree with Leon that it only takes a couple of people in this market to rocket the prices up significantly... I think that the floors are pretty well set at least on the cards. Given the dearth of cards and the fact that most HOF collectors out there have holes for the negro leaguers, it is hard to see any of the 1920's HOFers going for much less than $5k even in PSA 1 / A shape. I still know that most of the cards in this space trade privately... at the very least most of the "very good / ex" cards tend to (especially for the 1920s cuban issues).
