Default Wow!

Awesome pickups everyone!

I was after a bunch of postwar stuff as that is what I have collected.

To involve my kids in the hobby, we started collecting Pirates team sets from 1952-1973. Been at that for a few years - it's been awesome and fun (Stupid - 1952 Tony Bartirome! - probably never get that one)- my 11 year old has been really into it. He loves going to shows and perusing auction catalogs. He mentioned to me recently that he would like to start collecting some of the "older" cards - like the T206, etc. Then I read the post about the T3's REA was offering. Then I looked at them. Then I got attached! Then I won 3 of them. Looking forward to surprising my son with them. Not being familiar with the nuances of the issue - Is what REA posted about the "no offer back" thing accurate?

I also got a couple of postwar goodies - 59 Bazooka box (Mantle) - thought I got a great deal on that one - crease not withstanding, 59 salesman sample panel (Mantle) - someone else was fighting hard for that one, and the Exhibit advertising posters.


Any thoughts on the Heritage PSA 9 Mantle going for a record almost 3 million a week ago and then the REA 8 "only" selling for 300k, an 84K drop from what Heritage sold the same flip for last August??

Of course it depends on what you want, but as someone who just bargain hunts for resale I loved the two lots I won.

Great Bazooka Mantle. I have seen only one other one that had the tab although I am sure there are others. Speaking of the tab, I wonder why it says the complete set is 9 players when it's something like 23?

I have had my eye on these for a long time. I have been an under bidder in the past. I am aware of 3 other 1959 complete boxes with Mantle - could there be another 1 or 2 or 3 - maybe. Regarding the "9 players". Bazooka first issued the set with just 9 Superstar players. Not sure why (presumably because it sold well) they later added 14 more - These are the super tough short prints.

That is tough losing a card like the D350-1 Standard Biscuit Ruth at the last minute, but at least you still got a nice consolation prize. I honestly was expecting the Ruth to sell for another bid or two as it was a very nice looking card and so, so rare with that back. I always thought that this specific back (along with D329 Weils, D352 Morehouses and H801-9 Globes) was cool since Burdick saw fit to give it is own ACC designation, while most of the rest are all lumped into the M101-5/4 number.

That Goudey advertising sheet is beautiful. I am surprised that REA did not offer more information regarding the restoration that they mentioned in their write up. It sounds like they are the ones who help facilitate the restoration. It would have been nice to have seen before and after pictures along with the "treatment report" that should have been supplied by the restorer.

Gorgeous box Howard. It's such a stunning card that I can only imagine what it looks like in person in full box form.

Ah, I get it, thanks. One of my favorite cards in the world, and in the scheme of things they cost very little.

I can confirm that Peter is a very reasonable buyer on the BST board and will pay strong if the card warrants it. However, using a Spaceballs analogy, he will not go up to "ludicrous speed!" I can not say the same for whoever spent $50k more on a Mantle Dice Game card than a decent Ruth rookie, but maybe I just don't get it.

Nice card! The portrait 7.5 went for over $10k - a high for that card.

The glove in air, throwing, and leaping no scoreboard cards were steals imo.

Some very nice items on the board here guys! Wow. I really liked several cards like the blank back Wagners that started the thread and the Mantle Bazooka complete box. Was that a Magie error I saw too? Nice.

Such a cool box. I have always wondered the story behind someone saving the entire box all of these years.

Love that Red Sun! Studying them, getting to know them, and beginning to appreciate how tough that card is!

Right click on the picture on the website and click "Copy link address". Then come to Net54, start a post and click the Picture button (mountain with a yellow background icon), then right-click and paste the address into the box. That will create the image.

Default The only card I bid on:

I'm in trouble if the card is the same size as the image below.

IMO, I overpaid, but I can't seem to resist them...its not like I going to collect the entire set especially since one of our members is not willing to part will his Frank Seele. Oh, well, this is number eight...let the 'set builders' come to me!

Have you ever sold a card and later wish you hadn't. Well, finally got it back now years later as my only win - and of course at a much higher price. It was the 1939 PB Joe Dimaggio PSA 5. Not a rare card I know, but looks nice - and now back in my collection.

IMHO, a very, very good purchase, Chris. That is one very tough card in ANY condition. Twenty K well-spent! Congrats,

These guys are incredible. I literally emailed Brian to ask for wire instructions and I got a tracking number 30 minutes later.

+1 there, Pete. I was the under-bidder on the '54-56 PSA 9 Spic & Span Aaron, at $8400 (it went for $9k with the BP) and was amazed. One of the 3 9's went for $3600 with BP at a Heritage auction less than one week earlier (probably the worst of the 3, though, with the ink too dark) and one changed hands on ebay for quite likely in the $6K range just a day or so before REA ended (opening bid: $7,000; auction didn't go forward because card "no longer available," so I'm guessing $6K and change).

May we fare better in the future and highest regards,

Larry

Hundreds of Ruth rookies (with different backs, of course), and ONE Topps Dice Game Mantle graded. And Mantle has been keeping close company with Ruth, a phenomena which those of us who also study sabermetric analysis (primarily under Professor Bill James, though not excluding other authors) will not disagree with.

Highest regards,

I don’t think there are hundreds of Ruth’s rookies. 71 graded by PSA and 41 graded by SGC. There are probably as much if not more resubmission than there are raw. Not exactly hundreds. There are 1235 52 Topps mantles graded by PSA alone, which is 10x the amount of total graded Ruth rookies (all backs).

Wow, super nice proof, Michael. I didn't even see that one in the auction.

Larry-Time to recount. If you ignore Sporting News ad backs(they are not broken out from blank backs), there have been 35 Ruth rookies graded, across all ad backs.

Default Came away with this

I won the 1923-24 Thomas Gutierrez album and could not be happier! These usually got for quite a bit more. Condition is not the best, but who really cares when you have something this awesome.
