Four of the players on the cabinet are also the four players that represent Toledo in the N172 team set. Plus, that picture of the stands at the bottom just makes it a really neat cabinet. Congratulations to the person that picked up that nugget.

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.

It's a new format. It's a hard close at midnight, like an eBay auction. Snipe-fest. They should look at the Bagger's model... Grabbed this one. Nice pick-ups, y'all.

Thanks Howard! I did not know. Makes sense though. Congrats on the pickups and great meeting you in Philly on Saturday.

So glad you didn't go after the Des Moines cabinet. I am overjoyed to have picked it up for the price.

The grandstand photo is great. I have a Des Moines team photo from 1888 with the same grandstand image behind the team from the Boyd studio. Additional, there is a very ornate imperial cabinet from LaRoche with the same grandstand image. I have also seen on here a normal sized cabinet of the same LaRoche imperial. It would be nice to have all four someday but I doubt I will have to cash for the imperial.

Another board member and I were talking and we were curious about this lot.

Lot 651 was a lot with early rppcs of negro teams along with some other oddball items.

We both collect a decent amount in this area and were shocked to see the hammer price. 20k!!!!

We have looked all the pieces over a few times and cannot find any majorly significant players.

Any thoughts and/or opinions?

Did we miss something?

Thanks
Travis

Between all of the E107's at Heritage and REA this weekend, the prices on some of them were WAY below where they have been of late. SGC 30s could be had for $400, which I feel like was a price only before seen for cards practically chopped in half.

I was able to pick up one E107 common at a cheap price, but I'm guessing the lower prices might be an anomaly as a result of a bunch of cards on the auction block at the same time.

Any other thoughts on the E107s sold this weekend?

I concur that you paid a great price for that Plank. Are you a HOF RC or E107 collector?

i was an/the underbidder on that one right up until extended bidding. REALLY wanted to go as high as you did; and for all the same reasons. alas - I was threatened with a divorce if I did - should've taken the Jackson and my freedom...

Great win, Ken! That was BIG BUCKS. Any idea who the underbidder was? I was in there but couldn’t come close to the hammer price.
