REA lot #179
 

I won REA lot #179 - the 25 T206 HOFs in PSA 4 or 4.5s. I only need 3-5 to swap out w/what I have in lower grade and / or straight sell the rest. If anyone needs any of those (and the link to the lot is still up), let me know as I will probably list on Net54 first. Check out the link on REA (if it's still up?) - beautiful fronts, well centered and clean (looked really strong for the grade), although no shot of the backs, so not sure what they hold? (always afraid of the all-too-often PSA 4 or 5 with wrinkles or paper loss)

Anyway, the ones (offhand, need to reference and I'm of the country until next week) I know I'll keep / swap out are:

Matty Portarit (replaces a Matty in a 3 - which I'll list)
M Brown Cubs (replaces a 3 - which I'll list as well)
Cy Young Bare Hand (replaces a 3, list that one as well)
A couple others I can't recall now and I may keep/swap some of the SOV 150s as well.

Thanks,

Ed

Congrats on the Mack. I was a bidder but I bowed out with other irons in the fire. You are right though, you'll never see another Old Put Mack for sale. Good job! ;)

Just got my REA winnings from Saturday's auction via FEDEX.

Thanks Rob!

Just received my REA item today as well, 1915 Boston vs. Philadelphia World Series Program. Thanks again, Rob, for the speedy service and picking up the shipping costs this year.

I guess 'picking up the shipping costs' worked in some folks favor; it did not work in mine. I won 2 cards and the extra 1% BP cost me an additional $90.50, which is well more then what insured shipping would have cost.

Sounds like you got screwed.

Not really - I knew what I was paying for - I'm just not going to thank him for picking up the shipping costs, when I actually paid more for them in the BP.

better than +1% BP and no free shipping I guess

Matt,

$90.50, no step for a stepper! ;)

Excited to get my D359 Krause. First one

For those of you who already received those items that u won from REA, how did u pay them? Does REA accept credit card? The auction just ended ~72 hrs ago.

Nice card.

REA doesn't accept credit cards. Rob sends some winning lots to better customers & friends after the auction ends.
Some have posted here during the last few auctions that they rec'd their lots before they even wrote out the check.

And much better than Heritage's auction, which ended a week earlier, 19.5% BP, $28 to ship one small item, I paid via credit card the next day and it still hasn't shipped. But just sayin'.....

That seems egregious. Not sure what the justification would be.

Very nice Jeff!

I love Butter Balls!

With twin products called Close's Butter Balls and Oppie Dildock's one has to wonder if Mr. Close was in on the joke or not.

That was my experience as well..
