Default Hunt Auctions

How does Hunt work?

I see that the auction closed tonight at 10pm but opens again tmrw at 11am for the Live Auction!! How long does that last??

Can anyone bid in any lots tmrw if they didn’t bid in regular time??

I’m still new to the auction house game and this one seems a little different.

Online bidding is prebidding only. So anyone can bid during the live portion assuming they are registered to bid.
They will open each lot in order one at a time to live bidding

Live bidding occurs online, over the phone, or in person usually and the lots sell very quickly during that part.

I'd call their customer service early today before bidding starts if you need any assistance. I have always found them very helpful.

I absolutely love how they do their auctions live w prebidding. Fair way to run an auction.

Heresy I'm sure.

You would think that they would offer pictures of the backs of the cards, especially on those where they note that there is some back damage.

This has always bugged me as well. A written description is never enough. You need a visual, to determine the extent of the damage (and whether you can live with it).

And when you auction off multi-signed Team Balls, show ALL of the panels, instead of just one.

Let us know if it holds up...

My experience is that no matter how strong the ceiling bid, you'll be overtaken as soon as the Live Bidding begins. Rarely (if ever) do the Internet Bids seem to hold on.

It is a pain to flip over a card on the scanner. If you were thinking what to give Hunt Auctions for Christmas, I would suggest a teflon coated spatula.

Indeed, you would. Long standing knock on them. And valid, of course.

As predicted, my bid failed. I really don't enjoy this kind of bidding but I did really want the item. Oh well.

A quick "Thank you!" for turning me on to Hunt Auctions. As I perused through the auction, I saw one of my 10 Most Wanted staring back at me! Sadly, it was not to be--as I missed the bidding. If anyone on here purchased the T207 Weaver, congratulations and you're fortunate I didn't know of it sooner, Lol. If you ever get sick of looking at it, please let me know. I am now registered with Hunt and will look forward to their next offering.
Best,

I was outbid on all the other T207s but did win the Weaver. While it wasn't cheap, I thought it might go for more.

Their site and lack of pictures is horrid, but their closing format is A LOT of fun. Great material too.

That Waddell photo is 1903 btw and not 1898.

Otis, I was certainly prepared to bid higher, but I take solace in the fact it was aggressively sought after. With me around, your investment is safe...you did not overpay.

Any other news on the Waddell photo, Jeff (hopefully of a positive nature?)

Unfortunately no, I didn't win it Mark, decided not to bid against people who were led to believe it was 1898.

Picked up the Boston Red Sox cabinets though, these so rarely come up and are beautiful cards/photos.

How'd you do?

Another reason to include pics of the backs of cards is that some cards have different printing variations on the backs. I asked Hunt to send me pics of the backs of 3 lots of WaJo cards, which they did very promptly. Unfortunately (for me), none of the cards had the scarce back variations.

Val that's another odd thing. When someone asks me for more information I assume more people might want the same info so I post it to the auction, not just send it to the person who asked.

Missed out on Hunt. Not sure how I managed to not look at their auction. DOH!! Question, do they the prices they show include the buyers premium? Looks like there were some decent deals to be had. Bummer on my end.

Jeff - nice grab! I was interested, especially with the Speaker in that lot. Now you just need to add this one of Hooper to (help?) complete the "set":

I didn't win this one of Dizzy Dean (c1931), but it REALLY caught my eye! Congrats to the winner!

How'd you do?
Yes, that would definitely put you at a disadvantage on the Waddell Photo. Couldn't they make a correction, or an addendum stating the correct year? That's a shame, but not surprised.

On the flipside, those Red Sox Cabinets are awesome... glad it worked out so well, and was an excellent trade-off!

As for me, I picked up just one photo in Hunt... a nice and rather poignant shot of John McGraw (Paul Thompson/Baseball Magazine). He doesn't look quite as mean/angry/intimidating as normal. Thompson must've caught him on a good day.

https://www.huntauctions.com/live/im...=439&lot_qual=

If anyone has a good trick for removing that little circle of residue, please PM me. I think I can probably remove or lessen it, but am open to ideas if anyone here has had success in doing so. Thanks!

There were many Conlon photos that didn't seem to have Henry Yee COAs. Dicey, particularly without being able to see the actual stamps.

I went after that Dean but it jumped way past my bids quickly. I did win this Dean for what I thought was a very reasonable price given the grade..

Some of them, and some of them weren't. I consigned about 25 of them to an auction and they were run by Henry. As l recall about 10 of what were submitted for review were fakes. These were the end of the collection Christies was selling.

I have a file copy of that Dean and went after the original yesterday. Came up short. I was in a rush after just signing up to bid as I was unaware of Hunts auction. I'm halfway through a painting of that image--not sure I'll ever finish it.
On subject of makeup, It was quite common for folks to wear some eye &/or cheek enhancements for studio portraits in 1950 and earlier. Dean does have some liner applied to his lower eyelid and some powder on his face for glare reduction.

Pretty happy to pick up this 1939 Play Ball wrapper. Fairly hard to come by and should go well with the Williams RC I recently picked up.

Hunt charged me $26 shipping and insurance on a $2000 purchase. That’s very reasonable and much appreciated. Hat tip to Hunt.

This is finalized postcard on the easel in the case. I finished the Koufax and Petty over the summer. The wax really makes it pop!

..by any chance , when you were just a little kid practicing your 'drawerings' , did you do this one ? It would have been around 1931 or so ....anyway , congrats , you sure fooled the guys at Beckett......ps they kept my $18 grading fee , I guess to cover the costs of a week of trying to look it up ...

Nope. I did not do that one. I don't understand the congratulations regarding Beckett? Was that meant for me?

I completely forgot about this auction and there were a few lots I was interested in. If a member won the 1916 Indianapolis Brewing lot and is interested in selling/trading the Tinker, let me know!

Hi Phil......long story short : I had sent that "some-kid's-coloring-project" 1931 Metropolitan Studios St. Louis Cardinals (W574) Dizzy Dean in to Beckett Grading expecting only an "Authentic" , no number grade , but at least slabbed for eternal preservation , but it was returned to me raw , just as sent , along with the graders' fact sheet noting that they were "unable to identify".....which I guess I could understand , because even to a vintage grader it's a rarely-seen card , and the skill of the artist who added the coloring is dang good (look at Ole Diz's shoes).....so I'm out $18 but I've had a good story to tell at the Beckett table at the national these past 15 years...

..your work is exquisite by the way , thanks for sharing it with us...
