Won the only card I went after. Finally, Mr. Wright!

That's a wonderful baseball. They should give 10% discounts if you bid with an interesting backstory about why or how you are bidding on the item.

A bunch of beaters!
 

I got 50 new cards, including a bunch of T202s that I needed (two Cobbs) - $30/card + juice, so I'm happy with that! I'll also have a few T3, T200, T201, and T207 gems to put on the wall of the Man Cave. My tax return was burning a hole in my pocket!

Ken - great cabinet! I like it so much I flirted with that one briefly.

7 W600 Hall of Famers, plus a cool ad flier:

'Carumba, no wonder you live on Happy Street. That's an amazing collection in one lot.

cat--fyi, that's not even young's rookie card...SO THERE!!!!!!!:mad:


rob--was watching that lot, love those w600s...way better than t3s.

Thanks, Matt! Been working on acquiring Harry Wright for sometime now. Pretty happy to nab this one.

Tried for the n142 Davis but ended up settling for this Nash.

Nothing exciting but I grabed these and will sell my extras now :-)

Congratulations, Ken! That was a spectacular image of Harry, and one of the lots I was bidding a few times upon. Great pickup!

This is my first year [in many] that I did not pick up any winnings from REA. As I won a special piece from Legendary earlier this week, I was not too disappointed.

Dave,
I was right behind you on that Texas Tommy! Great card, great price, congrats. 2 wins for me last night:

No prewar for myself. I did win a complete 54 Bowman set.

Great cards everyone.
My first OJ cabinet.

Nice pickup Tyler - I have the N172 and was bidding on that one as well. Great image clarity!

Thanks Marty. Looking back to when I first got the insane idea to do an E94 master set (6 colors of each player), I didn't really realize the time, money and effort it was going to take. I am down to a handful of commons now plus some color variations of the big boys (Cobb, Wagner and Young). Realistically I am going to have some tough decisions to make before long, like do I sell some pre-war sets to complete this task or do I just sit back and take a breath and realize that it may never be finished at today's prices. :(

Bob - you can wait for a recession and then buy them all up on the cheap.

Oh, wait.

Mazel Tov to everyone !!!

LOT 4: 1909-1911 T206 White Border Near-Complete PSA-Graded Set: #7 PSA Registry

Wow Marty! Is the plan to reveal one spectacular lot each day? Incredible stuff!

hi matt- seems that way...i dont post all of my winnings but i was happy to get this one, kind of a cop out not doing it card by card, but i would have never had the patience to do it that way....so i decided to share this one, not sure if i am going to register it or not. at the moment probably not.. with the extras i have i have the set up to 6.00 ex/mt...i have wanted 3 sets in my life..this one, a 1915 cracjer jack (did not even sart it yet) and a 1938 horrors of war wich i own and is on the registry.....the one last year in rea went for the same but was a g.p.a of 5.11- this is 5.70...glad i waited..

as a wise man who is considering selling me his N162 Anson told me last night, "Good things come to those who wait."

Congratulations!

very true matt, but you know what, who knows where true value lies? in this hobby value is all over the place....it's only worth what someones willing to pay regardless of guide , auction, etc.. if i ever thought of resale before i bought i probably wouldnt buy a thing:)

Marty,

Very nice pick-up. And to add to your thought about true value, I've always found it ironic that true value is set by the underbidder, not necessarily by the winner.

So Barry-

I'm assuming your winnings arrived Sunday evening? :D

That's an amazing pickup, congratulations!!

Lot of PSA 5's / PSA 4's and 55 Bowman collection.

114 4'S

And a great group of 55's. Always liked that set. One of those love or hate sets.

Great looking Weaver to be a 40....that is my kind of card!! Congrats!!

Thanks Leon, I loved the presentation on this card. I still have the PSA 4 MK that you sold me in Cleveland about 5 years ago. :)

Forgot one......
 

Scott-

I think the definition of being "too successful" is to win a SGC 70 Cobb green and to "forget it". :D

Scott, that's a great pickup at a great price.

Hi Michael,

Congrats on the Sullivan - I got the other REA lot of E97 Sullivans (the B&W and the Chicago)!

I was also bidding on those W600 Red Sox, but it went past my budget.

Cheers,
Blair

congrats everyone!
 

MY lone pickup...my first group purchase...and my first REA pickup was this e94 murray...now I just need the violet one to complete the color run...anyone?

Oh yeah - here's the lot I won:

Guys like me make me sick.

Blair- congrats on the Black and White and Color E97 Sullivans. I was the underbidder and you got a steal. If you ever decide to sell the B&W one, give me a shout.
tbob

David, that is a serious haul; I love all of those cards (esp the Voskamp).

congrats to all, great pick-ups...

Jamie- great ball, i was bidding early on it, nice piece!

MS

Won a few more e94s which leaves me nine short of completing an all purple set:

Thanks tbob!

I thought the price was really great as well (so thanks for not pushing me harder :))

About a dozen years ago, I obtained a nice specimen of the color E97 Sullivan (Boston). So the addition of this lot now gives me all 3 variations. I'm very happy about that!

Attached is a scan of my Boston color - I guess now I have to send it to SGC so all 3 are in matching holders...


All the best,

Blair

Hi Blair,

Nice Sullivan pickups. I also had my eye on your lot and almost jumped into the fray but went with the Color Boston version instead. Congrats on getting all 3. The B&W Boston version is indeed intriguing.

Regards,
Michael

Hey Michael,

Good deal on the color that you got. Nice avatar you got going there too :)

(I bet if Dennis Sullivan was alive today he would be quite flattered by all this attention.)

Cheers,
Blair

Sent my check in Monday, just got an email that my winnings are on their way and will be here tomorrow!

Received my cards via Next Day Air after I placed my initial bids. Thanks, Rob. Nah nah, jus' keedin'.
Mailed my check yesterday and got the FedEx heads-up this morning. Nice to be trusted.

I have already received my winnings from REA as they were delivered yesterday afternoon. Another great auction and lighting quick delivery service from Rob!!!
