any great buys (good value) or items that went waaaay above expectations that stick out?

I was surprised that the 1914 CJ Grover PSA 7 is a $20k card.

Perhaps not so much in context of other ones that have sold recently, but I was surprised to see that hammer price, for sure

Wow. That Ruth went for a good deal! 384k is a lot but same card sold for 552k a little over a year ago. I guess there is some digestion towards this meteoric rise of his cards, in particular this card. Over the long term the buyer is going to be really happy with his purchase!

Curious if a price premium emerges between the ad backs and blank backs. Seems all of the issues seems to be the blank backs.

Only exponentially, otherwise not that much.

The 1925 Exhibit Gehrig Rookie SGC 4 went for $78k which was double the estimate price. Just last August a higher grade SGC 5 went for about $80k.

I imagine Heritage was surprised the Old Judge Frank Dwyer went so high. Their estimate was $400 and up and it sold for over $10K. Obviously Heritage missed (but some bidders didn't) that this card was a Players League card.

From looking at the Old Judge big book, this card seems to be the first one known.
