Default Worst REA ever

From a memorabilia (non-paper) perspective, this is the most disappointing REA auction by far. I'm amazed at the lack of figural and display pieces. Clearly you can't blame Rob or the house, it simply reflects the current state of affairs. Folks are hanging on to what they have til a sellers market emerges perhaps?

It's possible that Rob turned down some memorabilia and accepted more cards to keep the auction manageable. Clearly the failings of Mastro have benefited REA when it comes to cards...the offerings of Prewar cards is unreal.

Rob's auctions have clearly shifted and have less memorabilia and more cards than in the past.

Barry, do you think it has anything to do with consignors switching from Mastro/Legendary to REA? Also it's much easier to photograph, describe, store and ship cards than it is memorabilia.
