Just curious - how did you determine that the following two lots were period pieces?

The listing for this one (John Ward) describes it as Ca. 1890s

http://www.hugginsandscott.com/cgi-b...l?itemid=67017


This one (Ewing and Mascot) is listed as an 1887 cabinet:

Thanks

Chris,
they were showed to SGC and deemed "authentic" and "period", however, they were too large for any of their holders and therefore they were not encapsulated. They told us they could trim them down and put them into a holder with an AUTH grade, but we opted to not have them trim them and leave them in the state that we received them from the consignor.

Good call not allowing a trim job just to fit a slab.

So SGC offered to trim the card down? That is the first time I have ever heard of a card grader offering to alter a card to make it gradable.

not "make it gradable". Make it fit in one of their holders. It wasn't going to get a numerical grade, just a slab indicating "AUTHENTIC"

Rats. Once again I saw the time ending and didn't realize that it was 2 hours after initial bids had to be placed. Oh well.

Well I won the item I wanted from H&S so I am off to bed. I will just have to see how the other auction ending tonight does for me in the morning.

WOW, watched the group of 3 Baltimore Negro League photos last night go from $650 as extended bidding began to a final price of $6K + juice, that's quite a bump up on the final night. Must have been one happy consignor there.....

Having a little buyers remorse this morning after winning the 1927 WS program. It's the largest purchase I've made on my collection to date, but will be well worth it when I place it next to my cards of the 1927 Murderers Row.

I really enjoyed writing that lot and figured there would be interest in it. I think a Holiday Inn Express stands now where the old ballpark was. However, my favorite Negro League piece of the auction was undoubtedly Lot 278.

I was happy to win the one lot I went after for less than my max bid. Got a good deal on an item I'd been looking to add to my collection for a while now.

I thought the majority of lots went rather high for what was there. To the point, that I am thinking of consigning with Huggins & Scott if they get those kinds of results all the time!

To me that's probably the holy grail of programs. Generally you can't go wrong with something like that - if you paid too much, it will catch up soon enough.

I wanted the live-action 1890's Baltimore cabinet, and was prepared to bid...at 7:02, which was 2 minutes late. I saw '1:58 remaining' and thought I was safe for that amount of time. A message that gives the amount of time for initial bids would be far more effective, but that's not picking on this particular auction house - this is the way almost all of them handle it.

Scott,
I certainly apologize for any confusion, however it is on every item page, in big bold letters on our home page, in every blast I sent out and even in the top two postings on this thread:

Very happy with my single win of the Sun Pictures Ruth negative. Now just waiting for the invoice so that I can get my grubby hands on it sooner!

I completely understand that the information is there. The message was received correctly (by me) several times, early in the day when you send out your 'final day of bidding' and '5 hours left to place initial bids' messages, but as I'm generally fairly busy and not fixated on any particular auction, when it comes right down to it, as the day progresses I forget those email deadline times and what I end up noticing as bid time approaches, is that message that says '3 hours left' that really means, '1 hour left', so I screw off for a little over an hour - given that it's feeding time at my home, and I'm the cook..... I went in 2 minutes late to begin bidding.

I simply made a suggestion, but I do understand that most people are getting the message and processing it at the appropriate time, as your high bids would indicate. It just doesn't work well for me personally - if it's working for most people, then please ignore me.

Won my fist T206 Lenox. Not a good looking front, but the back is intact. Pretty excited.

Neither the consignor nor the auction house seemed to realize that Pete Hill, Jud Wilson, John Beckwith, Heavy Johnson, and others were in those photos. I'm guessing the bidders did.

Yep, there are a lot of eagle eyes in this hobby

And that's why (and I know Barry S has trumpeted this many times) but while we all enjoy very las tminute bidding be it in an catalog auction or EBay, sometimes putting in your bids in advance ensures you of a chance for the item, i can't tell you how many times I've read on message boards about just missing making a bid or forgot about it.

And while the cards on Rbay are not what they used to be, again if you have a good item and a seller without that much card experience, they might panic if they do not see any bids early. Yes, I know we're all afraid of being shilled but if you put in a bid you are comfortable with, what is the difference?

Nice pick up Brendan! I was the under bidder and was debating another bid right through the very end. I just couldn't pull the trigger. Tough back and you got it for a really decent price.

I actually discovered that card in a pile of about 55-60 T206 cards (the rest were Piedmont backs). I thought it would be a neat little addition to our catalog and I pulled it....fully aware that is would grade a SGC 10. Can't go wrong with a Lenox in your catalog, right?

If anyone here won lot #324- (2) Kid Nichols cabinet cards, I'd be interested in either one of them. Thanks & sorry if this should be in the BST thread… wasn't sure. Jeremy

That would be Hunt. I know because I didn't try quite hard enough to win that lot.
