So what do you think is most undervalued at REA right now?

[GregMitch34]

Thought I'd try this as an experiment--maybe it is the third rail here, given competition for items... But perhaps some community-minded folks (who maybe never bid at REA or only go for a select few lot) would like to point to some cards at REA, with one day to go, that seem like they may end up as real bargains. Might be a fun exercise, or perhaps I am dreaming.... I will contribute that at least some of the great Rose PCs may go for nice prices...

..I expect a real dramatic frenzy bidding war over the '34 Exhibit card , autographed by Gehrig, Ruth, Etc. One of a kind......I'm glad I'm not into autographs.

I think you're dreaming. This kind of thread might make sense after the auction.

Agreed. Anyone who thinks there is a bargain to be had is probably planning to bid today or tomorrow. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to discuss them on Sunday.

[GregMitch34]

On the one hand, I don't care and didn't expect much. On the other hand, it amazes me that people are protective of their self-interest--when there is literally a thousand lots that they are NOT bidding on that they might comment on. Gee, if anything, direct people AWAY from some lots you are interested in.

Secondly, while it's true that it's hard to say what final prices might be the day before there are also many cases where bidding on certain lots lag--right up until the end. It's not a waste to ID some of those. I've won many bargains that I assumed would take off and never did--with so much competition, as at REA.

Bargains are typically not available at REA. See page 8753 of catalog under magnification. It is all spelled out perfectly

Biggest bargain I could find was the T207 Weaver SGC 80

I put in some pretty healthy bids not even considering the 20% BP. Actually over market value. The last time I checked......well let's just say, I'm glad there is still the BST.

(Im not into the extended bidding stuff. Enter my best bid at the start and hope for good news Sunday morning.)

I hope the bidders I'm competing against follow your philosophy!

You may have a possibly lucrative business opportunity:

Introducing Acme Western Auction Knapper Enterprises - We'll bid to the knap, while you take a nap; all for a small NP (Napper's Premium).

I doubt I'll win anything tonight. Prices are insane!!

The Cameo Pepsin lots. I guess these are rare/obscure enough that no one collects them.

[mechanicalman]

I think lot 1202, the 1989 Topps Wall Street IPO uncut sheet, could be had for a song. I mean, it features a Sandra Horbach rookie card. I'm sorry, but I don't know who would bid on this other than the people in the cards.

If there was anything undervalued there isn't anymore .

[atx840]

Some very strong prices tonight.

Unless you have the only bid on an item you haven't spent anything yet . I just spoke to a friend who said he is about to start bidding.....from his marker bids. I called another friend at 930pm and he was sleeping so he could get up at 2am. Who knows when it ends but a lot of bids are coming in...

If I recall, maybe 4-5 AM EST, as for ending...but it's their call.

The "Fair Warning" email hasn't even gone out yet, and that usually goes out an hour ago...!!!


....ah, there it is! Home stretch now!

The appeal in those is not so much with the people on the cards, but with the fact that it's rare and made by Topps. Some collectors go nuts for this esoteric Topps stuff, and it's a cool collecting niche, in my opinion (even if those that collect it are a bit "out there" ).

Good idea to find those sheets and maybe offer a few up.

[glynparson]

I have found 3 of them, positive i have a couple more. need to get them up on the bst.

[bobbyw8469]

The Sawchuck went cheap, but not surprising. SGC just doesn't seem to get the bids PSA does. Maybe the Mile High one went too high??
