What did you win in Heritage?

[paul]

I was very happy to pick up the Tango Eggs Eddie Collins.

What did you think of the prices on the other cards? I was really surprised to see how low the Toleteros cards of Hilton Smith and Leon Day have dropped. Those used to be $3000 cards. But lots of other cards were through the roof in my opinion.

I wildly overpaid for a T206 Speaker, which I didn't need, and was not on the list of 3 cards I was targeting tonight. Oh well. It happens.

nice card, congrats. I bowed out one or two bids below your bid. It's a beauty!

I didn't even bid this time. Believe it or not. Though there were some nice items in the auction, there was nothing there I really had to have, that I even thought might stay in my budget. I was right. Your Eddie Collins Tango Eggs seemed like you got a good deal, but I was most surprised that the Zimmerman nearly doubled the Weaver (even though it is really Tinker) in that issue.

Thanks for this comment, and thanks to Chuck above. Helps ease the buyer's remorse. I've convinced myself I'm going on a Sweet Caporal Factory # back run, if that's even a thing.

I was happy to get outbid on a 1952 Topps almost set lot. Thanks whoever outbid me by 1 bid, I regretted being the high bid and waiting awhile to a point i was sweating it out to get outbid!

Been there, done that! Paid $150-$200 too much for a '59 Bazooka Banks in an auction about a year ago--hoped I would be outbid, but wasn't. It is, however, my favorite Ernie Banks card, I needed it, and it is one of his tougher issues, being a short print.

Those were my consignments and yes, I was disappointed.

I was underbidder for D304 Cobb. Just couldn't pull trigger one more time. I am sad I missed it.

Thank you for not pulling that trigger. I had a long day and was getting tired.

Just looked at you Cobb collection. I don't think I had a chance against you. Beautiful cards.

I know that feeling...**ckin Jeff...

[Rhotchkiss]

Speaking of Cobbs, did any board member get the T206 red Cobb blank back? I was on that and the t206 cy young tolstoi 7, which I passed on once it cleared $15k all in. I ended up staying away from extended bidding and I am now pissed at myself for not re-upping on the blank back. Whoever won that, stole it!

Thank you. I had a good week at work and for once a nice auction immediately followed.

[puckpaul]

Heritage said the w600 Plank was the only one ever graded?! If so that isnt a crazy price. I dropped out quite a bit lower than that though! The wagner w600 went for only a little more but has 10 graded specimens.

[puckpaul]

I got the A17 album and the schlei T3 plus two hockey card lots. One mistake though, they said the A17 was an N43 album but the A17 is N29...no inside pictures to tell. Is there an N43 album?

[clydepepper]

Very Nice Rube Waddell, Greg- Congrats!

Not to my knowledge, at least specific to N43. I believe N29 and N43 are the same checklist. In reality, N43s are a larger format of N29s superimposed on a larger neato background. So, the A17 album, it could be argued, represents both issues. I think Heritage got the description wrong - it was misleading. I did an auction search on N43, saw the item, read the description and decided to pass. I think you got a great deal!

[puckpaul]

yeah, it was a good price for the A17 album (though i was hoping it was really an N43 one), i guess these are around enough for all who want them so don't get too expensive? the albums are beautiful and really don't go for much money for what they offer. i really enjoy them!

I picked up the Day, which went cheaper than I thought it would. Made up for the absurd price I paid for my other lot. Is the '49-'50 Hilton Smith that was in the auction a 2nd-year issue?
