REA's fall auction is underway - very nice stuff!

REA Fall auction

[h2oya311]

Very underwhelming IMHO. But I'm sure bidding will be spirited (as always).

Some incredible t206 print freaks!

[kmac32]

Some really nice T207 rarities. Noticed the back side of the T207 Broadleaf Saier appears to have a cracked slab on the back side.

Overall, I agree. However, I think REA's auctions have taken on AAPL earnings report status....they have produced at such a high level for so long, that it's impossible to sustain. This auction would be a blockbuster for any other AH out there.

I hope I win the T206 Doyle. Should go cheap

I'm hoping VERY spirited since 3 lots are mine! 😁😁

The auction has a ton of cool stuff, just nothing on my "Must Have" list. Maybe I'll get off cheap! I'll place a couple of dozen bids and get blown out by Friday.

[iowadoc77]

Similar scenario for me. Place a few bids and wait for emails saying no dice.

Preparing my nose even as I type. "I love the smell of REA catalogs in the morning".

[Bored5000]

Looks like collectors are flooding in to place bids on the modern Helmars. So far, only five of the 15 lots of modern Helmars have attracted an opening bid. I don't "hate" those cards for what they are, but I don't really understand why they have been in REA the past couple auctions.

Agreed. Beginning of the end for the auction houses. Either gonna be major consolidation in next few years or moving platforms to e-bay. The forrest killed with those catalogs...

I saw one, that's right, just one PSA 9 from 71-76. I guess if you like buying jackets worn by Hans Solo, this is your auction.

Ughhh just a couple of points...not to nitpick.

#1 Folks/sellers are fleeing from eBay due to the fees and nonsense so if anything more auction houses are coming and have been. To many if you ask me. Damn near impossible to keep track of them all....

#2 I'm sure if you look hard enough you can find plenty of PSA 9 cards from the 70s not exactly REA's thing, try Mile High.

#3 LMAO, Marlon Brando didn't play Han Solo.....the jacket is from a "slightly" different movie that didn't star Harrison Ford.

That's your criteria for a good auction?

Sure. Isn't that everyone's? And I like to come onto this PreWWII Baseball card chat board and blast anyone who doesn't hold the same opinion.

[rocarroll]

Man you have definitely come to the right place then! Plenty of that here for your enjoyment. See next post for example

Yes...as a matter of fact...yes it is. I would of posted in the PW-80 group, but there's only 1 viewer over there.

REA has a great auction, but I think a lot of people are waiting for the upcoming Heritage Auction in 2 weeks.

Looking at their preview online, the auction is absolutely amazing!! Incredible selection of high $$ cards.

You're in luck. I have some very sharp scissors and a black magic marker.

Scissors? You heathen. That's the reason the razor used to shave Babe Ruth is in the current REA auction.

Some great T206 errors and rarebacks.
