Memory Lane prices last night

[GregMitch34]

Wonder what anyone thought. Certainly the PSA 8 t206s commons went through the roof ($3000 in many cases). Didn't follow everything. A PSA 8 Cronin U.S. Caramel topped $3000, a record.

[Leon]

e121 psa 6 Ruth for approx 115k seemed strong...

[rats60]

The 33 Goudey Lajoie went for a lot more than the last PSA 6. I was watching and bidding on quite a few lot. Most went higher than I thought they would.

[Republicaninmass]

Signed 52 mantle close to 100k...amazing

Still a far cry from the "275K PRIVATE" sale

[BeanTown]

1925 Exhibit Lou Gehrig 60k. I guess the secret is out on these cards

1907 Dietsche Cobb batting close to 5K.

[Snapolit1]

Gehrig Caramel also very strong. There's one I should have bought a few years ago. Small population relative to Goudeys. Don't love the Gehrig card but it's a hell of a lot better than Ruth with his clown hat on.

[sb1]

Several of the nicer T204's brought more than recent sales, showing signs of previous levels again.

[Snapolit1]

Reports of the death of the high end market for rare vintage cards once again wildly exaggerated.

[irv]

Wow, this was a huge auction!

Some very nice prices realized! I'd say the hobby is pretty healthy yet.

[Jersey City Giants]

I got outbid on one and won the other and my max auto bid was higher. Happy on my end!

[Rhotchkiss]

I too was high bid on one and got outbid on the other I was gunning for. I was actually quite pleased with the affordability of some of the rare back t206. Think that was because there were just too many Tinker, Evers, Chance cards for one auction?

[Jersey City Giants]

LOL - I actually won the Evers Hindu! I was surprised it did not go higher. I was just happy to get a Hindu back for my set of an HOF I needed.

[iowadoc77]

One bid. One win. Below my auto bid. Satisfied with that.
When catalog came out I was thinking that was a LOT of T206 tinker Evers chance.

[Jersey City Giants]

Yeah far too many of those guys. But that served me well I guess. Hopefully the next auction overloads on someone else I need!

[Luke]

Yeah sure looked like a Cubs fan's collection got liquidated. I thought a few T206 went for steals (Hindu Evers port, Tinker BB, Chance Lenox). Some others that have been historically under-valued went for strong prices that reflect their scarcity.

And I got the Tinker Lenox.

[Rhotchkiss]

Jersey City, you get the Evers portrait Hindu? Congrats! I got the Evers red Hindu! Regarding the Lenox, wasn't it a chance and not tinker? I chased the Chance up to about $2500 but bowed out to focus on the Evers RH. Looks like there may be a lack of Cubs rare backs for a while (unless people throw them up on eBay for 3x what they went for at auction-- don't you love that??!!)

[Jersey City Giants]

I nabbed the Evers cubs on front Hindu PSA 4.5. Did not have a Hindu and Needed the card for the set!

[bswhiten]

I picked up a couple of low pop beauties for my Master Set.

[GregMitch34]

I got the Gandil red Hindu PSA 4.

[Rhotchkiss]

The Gandil is phat, congrats.

There was a Chance PSA 4 and a Tinker PSA 1. Both had Lenox backs.

[MVSNYC]

Rhotchkiss, looks like I just outbid you on the Chance Lenox. I'm thrilled to own it at that price.

[Rhotchkiss]

Yup, seems like it was you and I. I had a feeling we were in for a bidding war (we could have fought each other up another few thousand $$$). I am glad you got it. And I agree, great price

[ls7plus]

Looks like strong COLLECTOR-BASED prices realized, indicating a healthy market. A nice departure from the speculative investor-crazed market for gem mint 10's we'd been seeing. That 1907 Dietsche Cobb batting in VG-EX that went for $4700 looked like a clone of mine in the same grade I got for $1200 just a few years back (mine would be ExMT+ but for a light water mark on the reverse).

Best wishes,

Larry

[oldjudge]

Based on the $3000+ price on the PSA 5 Billy Sunday I'd say the Old Judge market is moving higher.

[MVSNYC]

Thanks, Rhotch. Congrats on the Evers RH.

[PiratesWS1979]

Congrats on the RH. I won the EPDG Chance batting and yellow portrait and Tinker bat off. I was out bid on the EPDG Chance portrait, any body here win it?

Agreed Jay, nearly $4k for Sunday OJ and more than that for a Brouthers Scrapp! Not much 19th century material but some strong prices.
