Default REA: What Did You Win?

The REA Auction is finally over.

I missed out on the N162 Kelly as part of my planned two-part upgrade, but did with the other half - N28 Ward and finally got my Satchel Bowman RC.

-feel like I got a good deal on the Ward, but paid too much (though it seems to be the current market) for the Paige.

Overall, in spite of the disappointment of not landing the Kelly card, it was okay. The seller's fee aka buyer's premium alone for the Kelly wound up being a grand! I'll be paying out $560 extra for my two cards.

Time to re-evaluate the wisdom of continuing to purchase any card through auction houses.

Edge to the 'bay, perhaps?

I won my first ever lots last night......well early this morning would be more accurate. Woke up at 2:45 to see I was outbid on the Schmelz OJ (kind of disappointed) so I threw in another bid on the N28 Glasscock. The late bid was successful. Very happy to add the N28 to go along with my Glasscock OJ. Now if I can only find a decent priced N162 .

I also was the winner of the 1890s base ball trophy. Its a pretty neat piece and will be a great addition to my collection.

The third lot I was the winner of is for my wife. The 1910s E45 American Caramel "Easter Subjects" Complete Set will be a welcome addition to her animal card collection.

There were some really good deals especially some of the larger groups. Lot of 30 T207 for $1000, lot of 30 1914 CJs for $3250 just to name a few.

Congrats to all the winners. I'm very happy to be in the club now with my wins and the tears to come from the 20% bp and shipping costs .

Sorry for the silly question but this is my first time bidding in an REA auction. When does one receive confirmation that they were the high bidder on a lot?

Default Tango

I was interested in the two Tango egg cards but ended up not bidding. One, I really had no idea how to properly value the cards and two, I have a hard time starting another set when I have yet to finish the 1954 Red Heart set.

I was interested in hearing if $720 (comm included) is a good deal for the two cards?

Thanks.

No idea what your green Cobb looks like but you can take the one last night out of the equation for relative sales. No other 5 or 6 will come close to that one for a long, long time if ever. Congrats on the Matty, a superb card.

Same $1,000 charge for shipping to UK. I imagine that it is a placeholder -- as even if there are customs / other issues to solve for, it likely is not $1,000 precisely

Probably cheaper to fly down, pick it up in person and pay the duty/tax.

Have no fear, Chris. I've been buying from REA auctions for 10 years. For buyers outside the US, they put a fixed huge $ number in for shipping to get you to call them and make arrangements. They will treat you right when you call them!

Cheers,
Blair

Finally got my Cicotte E125...and a real nice one at that!

Also won a '52 home uniform worn by Harry Taylor. From what I can gather, he would have worn this uniform when he pitched a complete game win over Philly in April of '52. Shortly after that he was out of the bigs. I have no idea about uniform collecting, but this one is my size, and I plan to wear it when the time is right! And the price seemed fair to me too.

Was one of those nights where was into 9 and ended up only with choice #9. Still a gorgeous card, with the dark uniform setting it off and, as they say, 'highest graded."

I won this one. It's always been my favorite Cobb image. Also, my invoice still doesn't show any shipping charges?
