Default REA Memorabilia Pickups

The card guys have a rather steady stream of card pickups on the other side so let's see some memorabilia wins. Solid example of this baseball bank was my only win.

Nice win!

There were certainly plenty of highs, and lows, but I thought generally speaking the prices on the Memorabilia were relatively soft.

I collect T206 player game used bats. A simple Wildfire Schulte was at $7200 last time I looked! I dropped out at $2200. That is utterly absurd. It is a $500 bat, tops. Some crazy prices.

Completely agree with Joe... however there were a few exceptions. This example being perhaps the most notable. $48K might be a record price for a pennant...

I was happy to score this 19th Century Figural Batsman at a much more reasonable price!

i thought pennant prices across the board were strong. that seems to be an area of the hobby that has sprung back in a big way (at least prewar examples or ones that picture a specific player)

The price on that Boston pennant is crazy. I'd hate to have to try to recoup money a few years from now on that one.

Gary and Mark, awesome pick ups! I thought that prices on the 19th century memorabilia side were very strong in general with a few exceptions. I had a strong bid on one of the lithographs but went beyond my budget at some point last night.

Default Three pick ups

I was thrilled to add two baseball card advertising pieces and the pennant was a cherry to top it off as the condition was too good to pass up

Gary, I was the first bidder on the polka music sheet and up until the last hour before extended bidding there was only two people bidding on it and I thought I had a really good shot at it. It is a fantastic piece and congrats.

Mark, great add as always.

I was able to pick up the c1910 Springfield Blue Labels Team Cabinet w/ Rabbit Maranville.

Here's a question though, why is Rabbit wearing a fielder's glove in his right hand????

If you have been buying t206 bats with any regularity, you would know far better than me. But I would have thought that it is worth much more than $500. 1) It's got a rare JF Hillerich and Son center brand---doesn't that alone raise the asking price to about $400 or more? 2) The bat has a prominent player's name on it, making it more expensive. No? 3) Then it has legible side-writing connecting it to Schulte. And it has the vault marks to show that it is the Schulte bat used for model S47. It is hard to find evidence that puts a bat in the hands of real dead ball player--especially one we've heard of. Wouldn't that bring the asking price to the upper hundreds, at least? 4) Beyond that, Schulte was a big deal with the Cubs when they were champions. I would think that bat would sell to a Cubs fan for a couple of thousand any day. Yes, of course, the 5 figures seems more appropriate to a minor Hall of Famer. Or am I way off about the market?

Correct glove, but on wrong hand. Odd. The Glove is a right handed glove he is wearing on his right hand - should be on his left hand. He was probably just screwing around.

All it takes are 2-3 guys bidding against each other. I mean I can possibly see $1000, maybe $1500 if a couple of guys are going at it. Absolutely no more than that. I dropped out at $2200 and that was insane itself. I probably have 25-30 bats. Some (Dolly Stark and Roy Brashear) I got at auction for $100-$150 3 years ago. But $13,200 for an average player is absurd.

I believe the photographer probably instructed him to do that to make a better photo composition. Just my guess.

Very rare shot of Ruth and Gehrig Barnstorming.Type 1 Images of just the two of them are damn near impossible...no coaches, no agents, no randoms.. no F N chickens etc. If anyone has shots of only these two barnstorming in uniform..I'm a buyer! Happy to add it.

Average player! Wildfire Schulte is much more famous that Dolly Starke. Best evidence: he has 2 poses in the t206 set. And he had a 23.7 lifetime WAR. Besides that, he was the with the Cubs from 04 until 15---and he was a top outfielder when the Cubs were awesome. I thought about bidding on it, but I figured it would cost 3-5K because the center brand, side writing, and the vault number put the bat in his hands during the prime of his MLB career. Yes, 13K seems way too high. But as I learned from the Christie's auction, that won't get you a Fred Merkle bat. Anyway, I think there is also insanity in selling the Stark and Brashear bats so cheaply. I'm glad that you benefited from that.

He was a lifetime .270 hitter who hit OVER .300 once in his life (.301). Had over 70 RBI's once in his life. Had over 160 hits twice in his life. Fairly average numbers I think. Certainly not worthy of a $13,200 bat. hahahahha

I agree that $13K for a Schulte is flukey. But a side written Eddie Collins with the same center brand (1905-1910) recently went for $52K. Collins bats w/o side writing and with a later center brand usually go for about $15K to $17K. Ergo, I think that the features of this Wildfire bat, along with Cub mania, make it a special bat for a number of people.

That was my thought. Old studio photos often show people with props that aren't theirs.

Thanks guys...that makes perfect sense. I was getting worried there for a minute, but nothing screams "Rabbit Maranville" more than those ears!

I won the 1945 KC Monarchs photo. AFAIK, it is the only photo of that team with both Jackie Robinson (bottom right) and Satchel Paige (top row, fourth from left) in it. It was Robinson's first year of professional baseball and his only year in the Negro Leagues. I may have overpaid, but who knows when I would have had a chance to pick up another. The periphery is rough, but I think that it will frame up nicely.

Default Monarchs Photo

Kevin: I don't think you overpaid. The combination of Paige and Robinson is iconic. Vintage Monarchs memorabilia is nearly impossible to find, even hear in KC. Great pickup!

Great price..GREAT PHOTO. Congrats!

I think you got a bargain. Another auction, another time, I could see it going for double or triple what you paid, which is relative chump change in our hobby. That money could have bought you any number of pretty common pieces in this auction and others. Look what you got instead.

Guys, thanks for all of the comments on my photo pickup. That is the beauty about collecting photos - their value is very subjective. What is worth $5K to me may be worth either $1K or $10K to a fellow collector and vice-versa. I know that I have been able to pick up photos in auction for 50% of what I was willing to pay and other photos that I really wanted have gone for 5X what I was expecting. They are a very emotional collectible and what appeals to each of us is usually very personal.

Yes, and in the case of this one in particular, considering both its incredible historical significance and apparent singularity, I don't see how it could be considered overpriced almost no matter what it went for. As I said before, it struck me as a serious bargain.

Default Bowman ad...

Bob:

though we've never met - in person or electronically, I was the consignor to REA of this Bowman piece and happy that it fit into your - as seen over the years when posted on Net54 - personal collection! thrilled to see that it went to an appreciative - and advanced - collector! I've personally loved this piece for 20-30 years and happy that i found a new home! many props to your as-posted and much-admired pick-ups!

Gary, I was the first bidder on the polka music sheet and up until the last hour before extended bidding there was only two people bidding on it and I thought I had a really good shot at it. It is a fantastic piece and congrats.

Mark, great add as always.
