REA Results

How'd you do?

I was very happy to pick up these three rarities.

[Brian Van Horn]

Paul,

Congrats on the pickups, particularly the Hartnett. I got the counterpart in Hack (sic as Hoch):

[LEHR]

I won the one item I wanted the most, the 1909 Pittsburgh Pirates National League Champions pocket mirror.

I was going back and forth with someone for the N173 Elmer Foster when the auction closed, but I was the underbidder unfortunately.

[doug.goodman]

Quite happy to win the supplements that I was bidding on. I'll probably put some duplicates on the BST after the holidays.

Back to my norm of getting outbid by someone willing to pay a world record price.

[edjs]

Got these. The Rapps will go great with my orange type 2. The others, while great, will be on the b/s/t.

Good work Ed, you sniped me well. By the time I confirmed my bid the auction had closed. I came on to see if the person who won that lot might be breaking it up. Unfortunately you are keeping the wrong card.

This. I went to bed around 10 with pretty aggressive max bids in, winning 6 lots, wasn't willing to go higher than history... woke up this morning, won zero. Oh well

[Snapolit1]

Same. On to the next one.

[Rhotchkiss]

The card pictured below received the 7th most bids of all lots in the auction. Is this a major non-sport set, or a particularly tough card, or a pure registry play (in which non-sports is ripe for, if not already riddled with, card doctors), or what? I love that a non-sports card got this many bids in REA - what’s good for cards generally is good for baseball cards - but still a head scratcher.

Regarding pick ups, I finally did well in an REA auction under the new, all lots close at once, format. I picked up 6 cards: e92 Wagner, e103 Wagner, e104-2 wagner, t216 Cobb, t206 Merkle Brown lenox, and 1914 CJ Plank. I thought it was a very even auction, with some cards going for surprisingly high prices (other than my Merkle brown Lenox, which I paid out the ass for, I will not name which ones for risk of retribution), and some definite deals.

Based on Heritage, where I struck out aside from a great looking t215-1 Tinker, and last night, I would say the “hobby” is alive and well. The economy is good. Interested to see how things in pwcc turn out — I am still not bidding in a wallet protest.

So thrilled to add Lot # 146: 1888 Des Moines Team Cabinet to my collection.

[oldjudge]

Nice job Craig. I used to own that one.

[slightlyrounded]

Congrats to all. Your wins are making my $120k banana-taped-to-a-wall purchase seem like a bad idea in retrospect.

[Bicem]

Ha! Nice.

[Vintagecatcher]

With my first REA win ever: Art Wilson, E125 American Caramel Diecut, I now have 3 of the 4 catchers in the E125 set!

I thought you did. If my memory is correct you had two DM cabinets. Do you still have the other one?

[bbeck]

Lot 1490 was described with a possible slight trim to the bottom edge and indentations. It still went for $5,500 plus. That number is $1,000 more than 2 PSA 8 Mantle's have finished on eBay in the last couple months. I guess even with all that has transpired over the past months, it truly proves that people just don't care as long as it is in the holder. Even when it is pointed out in black and white. Insane. I went to REA's office and black lighted every card I was interested in and also asked the head grader his opinion. I ended up with the Delong 2.5 Gehrig.

[obcmac]

My two big wins...set killer Lewis and my first Gypsy Queen

[sb1]

If anyone here won lot 628 the Sporting Life envelopes, I would be a buyer on the Philadelphia No. 50. Will pay outright or have dupes of other series to trade.

[robkas68]

Got one of the pictures of Abner Doubleday...he invented baseball you know...well sort of...ok, not really...but he was in the Civil War, and he probably won it all by himself.

nice pickup on the Lewis! and man, the no emblem went for a huge price.nice to see for the t207 set....

[MVSNYC]

Great stuff everyone!

I was thrilled to get back a very sentimental piece in REA.

As some of you may remember, I had a T206 Nodgrass variation in the 90's. I submitted it to PSA, it was the first one they ever graded. I later sold it in Lelands circa 2000. It's been floating around/MIA for 2 decades. Well, I was delighted to see it last night, and I won it back for a fraction of what I sold it for. Has a lot of sentimental value to me (acquired when my dad & I collected together). Here's the old (fuzzy scan, with extra marks on case, not card) with the new scan. You can see the cert # is the same, as well as the imperfections.

PS- Doesn't PSA put variation notes on the flip anymore? I want to add that back.

[scooter729]

My only pickups were two Red Sox E125's - Harry Hooper and Harry Niles.

I thought the prices on these were very reasonable, and much lower than E125 prices in the past. Would've liked to have bought a few more, but other recent purchases kept me somewhat on the sidelines for this weekend's big auctions...

Hi Mike, I'm glad that you got your card back. I've been selling off many of my cards, including this one. If I decide to sell that Street/ Drum I'll let you know. But that one I won't be selling to you at a loss.

I was able to pick up the N172 Browns Champs team set.

12/8/2019 - I won a 68 3D Maloney from REA
12/9/2019 - I mailed bank check at 4:30 PM
12/11/2019 - I received email from USPS that my item has shipped at 4:00 PM
12/13/2019 - Card arrived 10:30 AM

Hopefully other auction houses take note,(Wacky Aunt's, Insane Granny's or whatever Crazy name).
This is how you run an auction my friends.

[brob28]

I agree Jim, sent a wire on the 10th, received notice of shipping the same day.

[Exhibitman]

Beautiful stuff everyone. I picked up the W560 Jimmie Foxx. That was the last possible Foxx RC I needed.

[bgar3]

Just taking a very wild chance that someone here won the 1866 Nationals/Excelsiors cabinet card. It sold with only the initial bid and it is possible someone placed an early bid but won enough other items they wished someone else had bid. I know, a big long shot, but if the owner wants to see if we can work out a mutually agreeable arrangement, please pm me. I also have some 19th century things that might be of interest in any deal. Thanks
Worth a shot

I was quite taken with LOT # 1602, the 1962 Post Cereal Alpha-Bits single serving box with Sandy Koufax on the back. With the juice, that little gem took in $11,400. Both the box itself and the Koufax card alone were in exceptional condition (translation.... Near Mint / Mint). I'm neither the consignor nor the buyer, just an admirer! --- Brian Powell
