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?

Thanks
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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

If anyone here won the lot of 6 Pirate E125's I'd be interested in at least one of them.

and a price to match. It seems my translation of John's directions had a flaw...

I won a M116 Plank. I was outbid on the M116 Wagner and a Sports Kings Ruth. I really wanted the Ruth, maybe next time.

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.

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.
