Kind of outside my collecting range, but the Morrisanias played about one mile from where I grew up, and less than a mile from current day Yankee Stadium. This game was the first time the boys from the Bronx beat this Brooklyn powerhouse (something that would happen quite often in the 20th century).

Great pickups everyone. I added information about invoices to the other thread, but I will also post here.

Invoices are now finalized and available online in your account. We will not send hard copy invoices so please check your account on our website. The free shipping is not a mistake! Shipping is free (with the exception of international shipments and unusually large or heavy items--charges for those will be invoiced in the coming days as we calculate costs based on location).

If you have special instructions about sending your items, please e-mail us AND include a note with your payment. If you need wiring instructions, please contact us and we'll send the information to you.

We start shipping tomorrow, so the sooner we receive payment, the sooner we can process your invoice for shipping. There were 649 different winning bidders, which means the shipping process takes a great deal of time (and not all of our items are single graded cards). We always do our best to ship shortly after receipt of payment.

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Thanks again for your participation!

great ball Jay
 

I'm still missing an early trophy ball, fingerless glove, and pillbox hat to round out my accumulation. I had long pockets and short arms based on my projected "win" of the Goodwin round album or I might have taken the dip - one day I'll find the one that speaks to me when I can actually afford it. Nice as well that you found a connection to it. Congratulations........

Great win Jay. That was one of my favorite lots in the auction. I had a few of the Union balls in my collecting days, but that one is the best of the bunch.

Thanks Barry and Henry. Not many times that I find a piece that talks to me.

Jay- the late Walter Handelman, who was a dear friend of mine and a big 19th century collector, grew up in Morrisania and loved anything he could find regarding the team. He had one of the lower condition Union balls as well as other Morrisania memorabilia.

Great items guys, Jay love the ball! Not much for me not unlike the Mighty Casey I sort of struck out this go round. :D

Jeff, Bill & Jim great items as usual that's one nice Cobb....

John--great poster. Zasu Pitts, who was in that movie, was in one of my favorite TV shows growing up, The Gale Storm Show (way before your time).

Jay I did not know that nor have I heard of the show...now I will have to find some old episodes on line....I grew up watching Ernie Kovacs reruns as kid so sort of an old soul love the older TV shows.

Speaking of which anyone know where to catch old episodes of Home Run Derby?

Zasu Pitts also made a movie with W.C. Fields: Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch.

I actually have an autograph of Kovacs from his earliest tv days locally in Philly. A membership card for the "Early Eyeball and Fraternal Marching Society" autgraphed by Mr. Kovacs himself. The man was a genius in the truest sense.

John, I can remember seeing episodes of Home Run Derby on ESPN a few years back, so I am guessing their are some of these floating around out there somewhere.

I don't know about episodes, but I was at a flea market today and picked this up, wrapper and all:

Brian that's cool!

If anyone wants to buy anything from me please make all checks payable to The Bazooka Dooka Hicka Hocka Hookah Company. :D

Cheers,

John

Decillion Million's daddy...
 

... Ten. Have wanted one for a little while and was happy to get this one for my auto-bid max, entered on about day 2.

After some last-minute scrambling (I got outbid on all my lots I was winning after 4:30AM EST), I happily came away with the fantastic 1896 Orioles (champions that year) cabinet featuring many eventual Hall-of-Famers:

Great stuff guys! I got 2 Piedmont 42 T206's, and these two stubs:

No Soup for me
 

Struck out on everything.

If the winner of teh W572 lot is selling the 5 card strip, let me know.

Cheers,
Patrick

Like for a million years?

Congrats Ian.

Jim, I was admiring that one just before the auction closed. That's a striking card. The color is phenomenal. One of my favorite cards in the whole auction.

Congratulations on your win!

Very cool! It was a great auction as usual. I won the N300 Mayo near set, a bunch of T206's, and misc other cards. For my collection, I was blown out of the water by the 1873 Rutgers Football program which sold for $7,700 but I won lot #1889, the 1915 Red Sox Scorecard w/ Babe Ruth and lot #870, the Eddie Cicotte signed lot (I'm going to keep the photo and sell the 1st day cover). I can't wait for the next auction!

Thanks Bill.

What's going on...all week Jim was telling me the card was trimmed and I should stay away. :)

lol

I wouldn't be concerned unless Jim starts a new thread,

Croft's Candy cards, shouldn't they sell for much more?


:D:D:D

Continuing the Cobb Theme
 

Picked up hobby classic I have always wanted.Attachment 142614

John,

Apparently, MGM released the show on a series of DVDs back in 2007. I snagged Volume 3 (the 1959 season) from a used video store a few miles down the road from my house a while back and enjoyed it.

If you can't track it down, let me know. I would be happy to send this one your way.

Best regards,

Eric

MAJOR second thoughts Tuck 1400+ die-cuts
 

If the winner of the salesman sample book with the die-cuts want to make a quick 350.00 PROFIT - I'm interested. hmoses2@comcast.net or message. If anyone knows WHOM it was that won it - please relay my desire to them.

One of my faves, congrats. Looks like our board members came away with quite a few items. Great looking antiquities.

Jim- Love the Croft's Cobb.

Thanks
 

Thanks, Leon.

I agree that the Croft's Cobb is the bomb. Congrats, Jim.

Love seeing all the great cards of fellow board members.

Big Loser as Consignor
 

The values I received as a consignor for my items ranged from mediocre to awful.

I consigned a 1951 Bowman Red Menace complete set (Lot 1722) that I bought for $1300 in the 2010 REA auction, then spent about $300 in grading fees, only to see it go for $700, which means only $630 back to me after REA fees, so I lost almost $670 on this set. :(:(:(

I lost money on all of the other items I was consigning too, all purchased from past REA auctions, after accounting for the 10% consignment fees (a T205 Tris Speaker SGC 70, a 1954 Topps Ted Williams, a 1941 Goudy Sky Birds complete set).

Because my consignment auctions were going so poorly, I hardly bid on anything, as I was not feeling like I had any coin to spare.

I was in the running for the Cincinnati Peck & Snyder, but it got a little too steep for me.

I'm also a fan of Zasu Pitts!

Thanks for bowing out.

I was a big winner this year, because I just got my catalog today (4-28-2014). I saved a ton of money. :)

I really love the card I won... Lot 78! I had a lot of fun watching the incredible run in the final 8 hours. I cant imagine NOT drinking during that. :D

I sold this card in a similar grade a few months ago and regretted it (of course my wife reminded me she told me not to sell it). I was happy to see in REA and thrilled that the team "card" was included.

Boston Store Lot
 

I got outbid on the Boston Store lot of common sat like 4am...

If anyone won them or knows where they went PLMK as I need about 10 of the cards for my set. Thanks

James G

Nice Dan, really liked that piece.

Only one
 

I won the Carl Furillo satin jersey which I thought was a great buy.

I was outbid on the Barnum and Bailey elephants playing baseball and the Tuxedo John McGraw (which I wanted very badly to go along with my Mathewson).

The 19th century photos went for strong prices IMO.

Nice pick ups all.

Cool piece, Bob.

Well that sucks, Bob. However, if want to get rid of the Matty now..... :rolleyes:

Nice pickup on the jersey!

Greg

Was the internet down in your town this month? :confused:

Losings..
 

I was the underbidder on this puppy... Bummed about it as I found it to be a really neat - unique item. Never heard of this Negro league team and to have a pic on a period cigar box is stellar. (I was kicking myself for not bidding more) :(

That is an amazing item!!!!!!! Very, very cool!

John - I think the winner got a great deal, but such a nice display piece. (The pic of the team is also on the side of the cigar box...)

WOW !

There was a lot of activity on the elephants in the last hour, I was betting they would close out the night.

Beautiful poster

REA Winnings
 

I was pretty excited to wake up to the "You Won" e-mail for the two HOF pre-rookie cabinets I really wanted from this auction - - the 1893 Buffalo BBC w/ Jimmy Collins and the 1901 Terre Haute Cabinet w/ Mordecai Brown. I got blown out of the water on the other 4 items I was actively pursuing. Here's the 1901 Cabinet - can't wait to get it in hand!!

Derek, sensational 3 Finger Brown cabinet. It was one of my top 5 favorite items in the auction. Bravo!!

The others that I were pursuing, were left behind with the thought of the
E90-1's that I am working oN!

Although...
