Wow, that's a sharp looking "1". If I had seen that, you would have had some additional competition!

Congrats on the pickup!

I've been looking for a decent Houtteman for a while and figured it was time to act.

"including Hall of Famers Honus Wagner and Jack Chesbro, along with stars Deacon Phillippe, Tommy Leach, Jess Tannehill, and Sam Leever. "
Sorry, meant Chesbro. Not Waddell. Great pick-up!

Stay well,

Mike, I was watching that Dihigo as well. Great pick up, I really like that card a lot.

Wow, nice pick up on the Houtteman. How long have you been looking for a good one? They don't come up that often do they?

Managed to win the Williards Chocolate Cobb. Only victory.

Congrats! I love this card.
I was an under bidder but quit awhile before the end to focus on losing other things.

To find one that wasn't a total beater AND was in my price range AND when my wife wasn't looking took about fifteen years.😁

If you’re going to have a lone win, it might as well be this gorgeous piece of cardboard!

It's not much to look at, but Jackie barnstorming tour items are really tough, and I'm a sucker for anything connected to them. Plus having Jackie, Doby, Campanella, Newcombe and King Tut on it is pretty awesome.

And since it's REA, (which is not too far from me, they take Zelle and they are awesome) I got tracking saying it should arrive tomorrow :-)
Got my item in the mail today. Doesn't get much faster than that.

Very nice and I agree it could've easily graded a 2 or 2.5 on any given day. Obviously other collectors, like you, were bidding on the card and not the number on the flip. That's a keeper!

Beat me on this one! I could only imagine what they're trying to charge you for shipping. Had I won this, I was going to call them to see if I could pick it up in person considering the drive to Chester, NJ is not too far away for me.

You're welcome to call tomorrow, but please check your email first because you received a response within one hour and fourteen minutes of your original email.

Brian, there is no excuse for the extra 14 minutes- one hour is max for a reply the day after a massive auction ends :)

REA, hands down, has the best customer service in the biz, and Brian and the whole crew at REA are class acts. I am sure it will all work out. Great auction Brian.

vthobby 08-19-2020 08:24 PM

Hands down......as a regular consignor and longtime buyer, I agree REA is top notch. Dean and Brian have always treated me with nothing but absolute respect and honesty.

Yes there are other good auction houses but REA is one of the BEST.

Peace, Mike

+1.

Shipping and insurance on my GU jersey was just $10.00. And their customer service (and museum quality catalogs) are wonderful. Very good people to deal with.

+1. Brian's the kind of guy you hope your daughter marries.

68Hawk 08-20-2020 09:24 AM
I can't top the Brian love posts though he's as swell a guy as you'd want to deal with in the industry, but I can refer to shipping costs on framed items.
I had to send a framed item through the mail UPS and it cost me $270 a few months back including the insurance....so your estimate was not far from the mark.
REA don't do sly, so when they tell you something about their service you can take it to the bank!

Nice! Watch out, though -- I've heard once you get your first one there's no turning back. ;)

Jeff, very cool piece, even if it is a simple design. Reflects the times and event, and I thought you might go after it.
I won a couple of items and paid right away but haven't received any notice about shipping. It's been a while since I bought anything from REA. Do they usually send a notice when they ship?

I've always loved the Glendales. I think the Ginsberg is just as tough as the Houtteman. But I've always read that the Houtteman is the key card.

A nice off back addition to my Chance portrait collection.
Gorgeous card. Chance portrait is my favorite from the T206's.

Don't like to post until the item is in hand- very happy with this pick-up. Researched that this is the only slabbed PSA/DNA Ted of this issue.
