REA Just ended (almost 4AM EST)...get anything? - Page 3

Mrc32 · #**101** 05-09-2011, 06:18 AM

No Babe Ruth, but I did pick up my first REA win-- a lot of 10 e102 in nice shape. I think I got a nice deal.

Exhibitman · #**102** 05-09-2011, 06:25 AM

Great stuff! Me:

bijoem · #**103** 05-09-2011, 06:40 AM

Gary - great Ruth

really nice!

felada · #**104** 05-09-2011, 07:04 AM

On the off chance that the winner of the sepia ER Williams breaks up the set, I would be interested in acquiring one as type.

Leon · #**105** 05-09-2011, 07:06 AM

got a few...

vintagewhitesox · #**106** 05-09-2011, 07:13 AM

If anybody won the lot of 22 49 Leaf Short Prints, I am interested in a few of them.

THanks!

Great pickups guys.

Great Ruth rppc Gary, one of my favorite auction items as well!

glchen · #**109** 05-09-2011, 09:41 AM

Thanks, guys, appreciate it. Definitely the cornerstone of my collection right now.

DixieBaseball · #**110** 05-09-2011, 10:13 AM

Struck out swinging on the T210-8 Series lot after fouling several off.

I placed 4 straight bids late to push that sub-set up quite a bit... (Someone wanted the set really bad at $235 per card) Placed about a dozen bids overall, and came up empty this year.

E93 · #**111** 05-09-2011, 10:58 AM

John (Wonka),
Amazing pickups!!!!

It was a California night for me.

benchod · #**112** 05-09-2011, 11:10 AM

Great pickups everyone
Jim B. love the Hess!

sbfinley · #**113** 05-09-2011, 11:44 AM

Congratulations everyone on the great pickups. Cosmo, That n172 Delahanty is spectacular.

felada · #**114** 05-09-2011, 12:06 PM

Jim B
I think you got that SF Hess for a steal at that price. Great card and who knows when you will see another example from that set.

I totally agree and even said so the night of the auction. Great pickup for 60% of the real market value, imo.

E93 · #**116** 05-09-2011, 12:19 PM

Thanks guys. I am very excited about it. I was surprised to get it for that price too after chatting with Leon on auction night. Glad we were wrong.

mybuddyinc · #**117** 05-09-2011, 12:21 PM

Adam, great Ringside...... glad it has Leonard for you, but Marciano ain't bad n'either .......

Tbob, sorry to see your e90-1's go so low

....... someone got deal of the auction.

felada · #**118** 05-09-2011, 12:35 PM

I agree with Leon. Easily a 10k card. If I had any idea it would go that cheap i would have been more aggressive in pursuing it. I also think the 'common' Kbat Mets went cheap as well.

wolterse · #**119** 05-09-2011, 01:10 PM

I got this V61 Ruth...was up until Auction ending to make sure I got it...then woke up a couple hours later to run the Tough Mudder @ Mt. Snow, Vermont...that's dedication!!!

wonkaticket · #**120** 05-09-2011, 03:00 PM

Jim,

Wow that Hess is super you got a good deal! And the Chance well that aint shabby either!

As always I love seing your cards.

Cheers,

John

Congrats Gary - From now on I will try to vicariously get enjoyment from that awesome Ruth Postcard everytime I see your avatar. I was considering pulling the trigger but looks like it went to a good home. Congrats again.

Thanks Scott. I have no clue what happened. 14k and an SMR (which is nowhere near what they go for on ebay, they sell for more) of 22k or so. Darned if I know. Like I say, we live and learn. The E90-1 set has never been a "hot" set like some of the other sets but where else can you get two Wagners, Cobb, Matty, all the HOFers and all those scarce variation and horizontal cards? I'm just glad I didn't buy the Joe Jackson and added it to the set to make it complete. There's another E90-1 near set of 119/120 (minus Joe) in Mile High right now with a minimum bid of 25k. Maybe that didn't help. Oh well I'll take the 14k and plow it back in to more cards.

When I saw that sitting there at midnight at that price, I was so annoyed I had not put a place-holder bid on it earlier so I could bid.

Bicem · #**124** 05-09-2011, 04:29 PM

win anything Rob?

Matt · #**125** 05-09-2011, 04:59 PM

What? Nobody has their winnings in hand yet? Rob must have blown a tire on the delivery truck.

Peter_Spaeth · #**126** 05-09-2011, 05:15 PM

I just received next year's catalog.

Superb Ruth, EJW--congrats! It's almost as exciting to see what everyone else won as my own winning lot.

Larry

wonkaticket · #**134** 05-09-2011, 11:50 PM

Thanks guys.

Really fun auction, picked up my stuff from REA today (Thanks Dean, Tom & Rob) still sitting in my office it's 2am and I'm still pulling Obaks out of sheets and they are in unreal condition be dropping these sets off to SGC this week.

I feel like I'm 12 again, almost makes me sad to pull them from the sheets.

Maybe I should have a guess the grades game...LOL

Cheers,

John

teetwoohsix · #**135** 05-10-2011, 01:24 AM

Steve- congrats on Jude !!! An awesome pick up for sure!!

Sincerely, Clayton

lharri3600 · #**136** 05-10-2011, 02:54 AM

no doubt, steve had the best pick up of us all! congrats to you and the mrs, and welcome to net 54 jude michael

M's_Fan · #**137** 05-10-2011, 08:55 AM

Not sure if I overpaid or not on lot #423, but I'm sure excited about it! I'm definitely keeping the Wagner, but I may put a few of these up on eBay.

bobbyw8469 · #**138** 05-10-2011, 10:23 AM

While I like the Wagner, I am totally amazed it got a '2' with that big water stain across the front of the card. That makes the other '2'' in the same grouping look like a '4'......

e107collector · #**139** 05-10-2011, 10:36 AM

M's Fan - do you happen to know why the Lajoie got a 2? I don't see any any stains or creasing from the scan, maybe something on the back?

Nice group anyway, congrats.

Tony

The Lajoie has a tiny bit of paper loss on the back which explains the downgrade.

bobbyw8469 · #**141** 05-10-2011, 12:00 PM

That Wagner...I can't get over that oil slick on there. Is that going to be a prime candidate for a soaking?

I don't think it will come out but need to consult Dick Towle for correct answer but what a great looking group of cards, awesome pickup !

M's_Fan · #**143** 05-10-2011, 09:52 PM

It never occurred to me that a stain like that could be removed by soaking. Glue and tobacco can soak off, but I wouldn't guess stains like that would go away. But I've never soaked anything so I don't know much about this.

Orions father · #**144** 05-11-2011, 01:17 PM

With all the Seinfeld fans on here I am suprised that I didn't see the Monk's Diner menu mentioned. Anyone pick it up?

redmansam · #**145** 05-12-2011, 09:22 PM

1) Did anyone here win any of the Domino Discs (I need 7 Reds commons) ?
2) How about the Silks (I need 3) ?
3) Or the Reds (Red Belts) PC's ?

Thanks, Len

M's_Fan · #**146** 07-05-2011, 06:20 PM

this goes in the BST section.... Please do not bring back old threads on the front page to sell things. Thanks
