Your wins from LOTG auction last night/this morning?

[Belfast1933]

Would love to see what members won in the Love if the Game auction last night… not sure there is another thread on this yet.

I had my first ever AH “win” adding this Mickey Cochran Delong that I have been looking for for quite awhile!

Love to see what others won, your observations, etc. I have never met Al but he has responded to help me as an auction neophyte and I found the process last night to be great (uh oh… may be hooked now)

My first win is below - I am VERY excited about this one!

shut out...prices on ruth exhibits continue to rocket north. a few head scratchers as per usual lately.

Yeah… I wanted the 21 exhibit to go along with my photo as a companion piece. I can’t spent 20plus k on a companion piece haha. Glad to see gehrig salutations finally getting the respect it deserves

That one looked pretty overgraded to me!

[walker066]

I won the 1954 Wilson Franks Roy Campanella PSA 2 at a much better price than I thought.

Also was about to grab the 1953 Canadian Exhibits Ted Williams Red tint. Just missed the rare green tint though.

[x2drich2000]

I added the black croft Young to my run. Anyone have a T216 for sale or trade?

[wolf441]

Happy to add these last night...

[3-2-count]

I chased 1 item until the very end, but tapped out and came up empty handed.

Great auction Al.

[Arazi4442]

I added nothing, again. Was chasing about three items and got beat on all.

My typical auction experience lately: Gee, should I bid $X on that? It’s a little high but I really want this item. Fast forward to sale price of 5 times what I was debating.

Great auction, Al!

[53toppscollector]

only 1 card for me. One of the tougher to find SLers. inching closer to having the 48 card OMSL set. I was the underbidder on the lot of 9 SLers, had a few more I needed, but the price was just a touch too high for me

Shut out as well, was interested in a couple of the Ruth/Gehrig exhibits but they went a bit higher than I wanted to go. I'll probably regret it.

[Mark17]

I won these. Fortunately, those of us bidding on these, including me, put all of our bids in early enough so these lots could close "early" at 1:00 AM EST.

[pawpawdiv9]

I had inital bids on the UNC BIG-Heads COBB....i bowed out early & was pretty much a spectator. But, WOWZERS!!! must of been a bidding war for it to end at 5700.
Just think what-if a Ruth come up? I seen the one on Ebay's stratosphere for 65K.
I know a few members that might of needed a Cobb, hopefully someone here got it.

[JimC]

I got the Butter Krust Cy Young, the Standard Biscuit Lefty Tyler and the Boston Store 3 card lot. Lefty Williams got a little too high for me. I would love to have gotten that great Briggs Meat Mays but somebody wanted it more.

[chadeast]

Congrats to the OP, and to all. I was watching bidding late and saw those Standard Biscuits go up, up, and away. I thought about jumping in on them earlier but I would've been crushed. Glad to see a member got one! I noticed that a lot of the late bidding was on Exhibits, they continue to just explode in value!

I focused on one card that I really wanted, and was lucky enough to get it for what I consider a reasonable price, among a few other lots.

[Casey2296]

Props to Al and his team on another great auction and congrats on your 1st AH win Jeff, great pick ups all around. I love Al's auctions, the material is so varied and interesting, you can spend $100 or $100,000.

For me it's always the same, preview the auction, put 20 cards on my watch list along with placeholder bids, over the next couple of weeks think about those 20 cards and why I want them in my collection and mentally rank them 1-20 from "if I could only pick one" to "meh, it'd be nice to have". Some expensive, some under a few hundred bucks. I also keep a few cards on that list to check if they're under market on auction night. On auction night it always comes down to a balance between my list and finances.

Fortunately, and thanks to my consignments, I was able to hit items 1-4 on my list. Doesn't happen often.

[mrreality68]

lot's of great Stuff. Looks like Jim and Steve were the big winners for Quantity and Quality

and Congrats Jeff on your first Auction House Pickep

Congrats

[mrreality68]

missed out on the Ruth Card/Cards I wanted but I was able to get this instead

[JimC]

Thanks, Chad. What a great Chief Bender you picked up. I noticed that card even though it wasn't on my list. Super sharp. Jeff, that Delong Cochrane is not a bad way to start your auction house pickups.

Gehrig exhibits did well also, as others have noted the exhibits continue to explode

That is an awesome piece.

[jp1216]

Happy to add this toughie.

[DPassner1]

Goldin and not LOTG, but I won the Bruguera Ruth PSA 6. Felt it was a great price.

[MR RAREBACK]

Picked up the e93 Cobb

[doug.goodman]

I picked up these Conlon glass plate and acetate negatives.

I'm honestly not really sure exactly what either of them are but I like Dodgers stuff, and I like Conlon stuff, and they were cheap by my definition ($33 each), so what the hell.

Doug

[mordecaibrown1]

Been looking for this one

[charlietheexterminator]

Added a Ruth & Cobb

[paul]

I'm having trouble copying pictures from the LOTG website. But I had a "premium" night. I picked up the M101-1 John McGraw, the W601 NL Managers and the W601 AL Managers.

I wish I could have picked up one of the Exhibit Jim Thorpes, but was outbid.

Love that Sporting Life Jeff!!! That’s the best one to own. I’ll take all the Sporting Life, Police Gazettes, and MidWeek Pictorials all day long! Since I lost out on some of the Ruth Exhibits I settled for a pretty Cobb in color and these 1928 exhibits which have the super rare postcard back compared to the blank backs. Problem is they are too rare for their own good!

That is a really nice Cobb, and way under graded IMO.

[Cmount76]

Great pickups everyone. I tapped out of all of the cards I was looking for, but was able to grab these N172 glass plate negatives.

[Oscar_Stanage]

grabbed a few low grade HoFers in the eternal pursuit...

Thank you Andy

Hey Mikey, that’s a beautiful Goudey Green Ruth

[jayshum]

I won the 1953 Canadian Exhibit red Hank Lowery which is one of two cards I need to complete the master set, and the first time I have seen this card available for sale. Usually it's the green tints that are the hardest to find, but the red Lowery is also tough. Unfortunately, with all the 1953 Canadian Exhibits in this auction, the other one I needed was not there so the search goes on.

So, don't leave us hanging...

[Yoda]

Picked up the D304 Eddie Collins. Also, as a consignor was very happy. LOTG rocks.

[Carter08]

Picked up 41 Play Ball Gehringer. My second card from the set. Sigh.

[oldjudge]

Great pickup Michael.Those Old Judge glass plate negatives are really historic pieces.

[Lucas00]

Won this Wilmer Fields Snap. I love the kicked up dirt and the maze of scaffolding in the background. Oh and It looks like there's a car on the outfield. Puerto Rican Ball seemed Kinda crazy haha.

Nice! Great card, loved that Type II Weaver...glad someone on here got it.
Congrats!

I was hoping to snag the Goudey Ruth 144 PSA but it went a little higher than I wanted to spend with the two pinholes in it.

[Griffins]

I picked up a framed Harpers Woodcut of Ewing, a couple of '53 Canadian Exhibits (the first series is incredibly tough, congrats on almost finishing Jayshun), a '62 Salada set with almost all the variations, a '63 Fleer Clemente and a '71 Bazooka box with Clemente. Either finished or came close to finishing a few sets.

[mrreality68]

Thanks everyone

and it looks like the forum members did real well at this LOTG auction. Looking forward to seeing what everyone does with the next upcoming auctions.

I will be watching from the sidelines
