REA - I won!!!
I was the only bid on a lot, so I think that means I’m the winner - very excited! In the 25+ years of bidding with REA that has never happened to me. This either makes me terribly astute or ignorant of the market.

Congrats. What did you win?
And I love how we use the term “win”. In your case, as the solo bidder, you probably are a winner. But I feel “winner” is a back-handed compliment after I have paid beyond top dollar to get that title.

That is always nice as you can call it an early night if that was the only card you had interest in. I really like REA's closing method. Very to the point with no late night or should I say early morning disappointment

And you are correct. I should have titled it, “I won the right to purchase the card for a higher price than thousands of seasoned, well-informed collectors decided to.” It’s amazing how this cardboard stuff turns grown men (in my case old man) into giddy children. Hope I didn’t screw this up. Last edited by wondo; 03-24-2019 at 05:16 PM. Reason: Don’t know English

Just after 7pm and I’m biting my nails because I’m still ahead on more lots then I anticipated at this point. Would be happy winning three of the ten....of course I’ve been through enough of these I may still lose all ten.

"THE AUCTION IS EXTENDED! All lots close at once. The auction will remain open until 5 minutes pass without a bid. We reserve the right to close the auction at any time after 10 PM EST. We recommend using our Honest Auto-Bid system to place max bids!"
Yes, any one with a single bid is still eligible to be bid on. See this card: https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...e?itemid=55043 There are still live bidding buttons available on it.

From REA terms: “All lots remain open for bidding until the close of the entire auction. All lots are closed simultaneously. REA does not employ a lot-by-lot closing method. Technically items that have received only a single bid will be closed for bidding during the extended period since only one bidder would have qualified to participate in extended bidding (and cannot outbid himself); however, ll lots remain open for bidding until the close of the entire auction. All lots are closed simultaneously. REA does not employ a lot-by-lot closing method. Technically items that have received only a single bid will be closed for bidding during the extended period since only one bidder would have qualified to participate in extended bidding (and cannot outbid himself); however, items without a bid entering extended bidding will remain open for interested bidders to bid during the extended bidding period. In the event an item without a bid entering the extended bidding period receives a bid during extended bidding, it will be closed to new bidders immediately as is the case with all lots having received a single bid. without a bid entering extended bidding will remain open for interested bidders to bid during the extended bidding period. In the event an item without a bid entering the extended bidding period receives a bid during extended bidding, it will be closed to new bidders immediately as is the case with all lots having received a single bid.”

I don't think so: "IF YOU HAVE NOT BID ON AN ITEM BEFORE 6:00 PM EDT, YOU CANNOT BID ON IT AFTER 6:00 PM EDT. Based on past auctions, it is expected that the bidding may continue for several hours utilizing this method. If the auction continues beyond 10:00 PM EDT on Sunday, March 24, 2019" So if there is just the 1 bid, the person who placed it is the winner. Just have to wait for the rest of the auction to end.

Ah, cool. They should mark those items closed then. Sorry for the confusion.

It's open, but nobody can bid on it.

Perhaps...... The proud under bidder!
Some solace - knowing that I pushed someone to pay (over pay?) just a bit more than I or anyone else was willing to.
Some regret thinking just to be willing to pay a bit more and.........nah - I reached my limit. Under bidder on about a half dozen lots and I'm done! Congrats to the ultimate winners (auction still open) - price aside, you got some GREAT cards!

Hooray! I won something too. The T227 lot of Baker and Bender. This completes my "set" of four baseball players.
I really wanted the Diaz Ruffing. I'm jealous of whoever won that. And what was the deal with the E107 Phillipi? $14K, far more than many HOFers.

All of the pre war card lots I was participating in sold for just the right amount. Nothing went crazy except for the Cicotte hand grip study photo by Conlon. Photo's seem to be the wildcard when it comes to prices. So i tread lightly because there seem to be some heavy hitters who compete for these.

I scored one of the Gypsy Queens, but I think I've never been a bridesmaid on so many lots. This one in particular blew my mind:

I was impressed by the 14 CJ 4.5 Cobb (with a crease, no less) for 54K. Wow.

On the other hand an M116 Wagner in an 8 went for only 9K. A card (set) that gets no love.

Duke Talk of Diamond
I save 19th century trade cards that depict the game or are baseball themed. Probably paid too much for them but I got the N135 set. I have several others and this will get me a near complete set. Several duplicates which I would be open to selling.
Under bidder on the Red Stocking Sheet Music. Have several others but always liked that one. Too much in the end.

Not sure many of my American brethren will care too much (or even many of my Canadian friends either), but I "won" this item last night. Not sure, but likely my first REA item ever.
https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...e?itemid=56955 As an avid CFL collector, this is a toughie.

Wowzers Don! Great pickups and welcome to the Ty Cobb postcard club! Ha
I lucked out on this Ty Cobb Mendelsohn as it was one of my white whales I got to cross off the list.

I won these:
#1059 - 1948 Leaf Ted Williams PSA 8 - one of my favorite cards, I've probably had a dozen or so over the years now and just decided it was time to upgrade once and for all #1298 - 1956 Topps Harmon Killebrew PSA 8 - working on an all PSA 8 set, this is one that has continued to elude me until now #1677 - 1933 Goudey Ted Lyons auto - only Baylor University alum in the HOF, had to have this one #1754 - 1954 Topps Hank Aaron auto - this was a late bid for me, but just felt it was underpriced considering the HR and Hits inscriptions; you see his RCs signed pretty regularly, but not with the inscriptions; the "9" auto grade is pretty laughable, so may have to cross this over to PSA I was underbidder on #885 Mathewson Dark Cap Sovereign PSA 6.5, so once that gave way I switched over to the Aaron. I bid on many of the T206 HOFers but most got a couple bids or more away from where I was comfortable. I think the Breisch Plank was maybe a little cheap, almost went for it but decided I like another of his cards more. I almost chased the 52 Mantle PSA 3 as well, felt it sold at a really fair price - just decided that wasn't the one for me. Overall good auction I thought, especially for those who consigned some of the T206 portraits. Once again, those prices were really strong.
