What did you win in the Mastro Auction?

I got lucky on a couple of cards, the highest graded 1911 Zeenut Rapps and a nicely priced T200 Fatima New York Giants. Based on past auctions I thought both cards were big bargains.

Absolutely nothing.

Seems like prices were a bit low. In a better market, I'd have probably bid a couple more times on the items I was going after. Guess a lot of bidders were in similar places.

Bob - I almost bid you up on that T200 - presents much nicer then the technical grade; nice pickup.

Picked up the lot of 54 E121s - keeping a few and the rest will be available.

glad that I got most of my Phillies rare backs before some of the whales stepped in.

I remember the "good ole days" when it was only the red Hindus that were really tough. Now that mid-grade Brown Hindus are consistently seeing $400+ bids, I think there may be some changes to the back multiplier paradigm, unless someone starts unloading.

Hi Marc- yeah, you just don't see mid-high grade rare backs all that often. when you do, prices always seem strong.

hope you're well, talk soon.

All other bids were underbids.

At least with boxing cards the pricing was steady given the grades of the cards in question. The 2 card Tolstoi lot (T218 Johnson, T220 Sullivan) went for a lot ($850 plus vig).

I forgot to bid. Rats. With the Canadian dollar sinking to eighty cents US, perhaps that is a blessing.
