Great thank you! Appreciate it. :)

Auction night justification is always fun.

1. Do I really need a new kitchen remodel?
2. How much of a loan can I get on my 401K?
3. Do my kids really need to go to a 4 year overpriced college?
4. Argh, why don't these auction houses take credit cards!
5. How much can I really sell a kidney for?
6. No! Male prostitution is out of the question.
7. Why couldn't I have just inherited money?
And my favorite:
8: Jesus, did I really overpay for that Cobb/Ruth/Jackson? I'll find a way to make it work...

I was happy to pick up the last card I needed to complete my 1971 Topps Greatest Moments set - Tony Perez.

Too funny! This list sums it up. When you have the fever, all options are on the table and rational thinking goes out the window.:)

Congrats Jay, awesome accomplishment. Someone went hard on the 71 TGM Munson last night.

Thanks, Phil. Perez went for more than I was hoping (isn't that always the case), but I really wanted to finish off the set.

The Munson ($2040) went cheap compared to the Bench ($3720).

What an awesome set. Congrats!

Tough numbers when they used to be 700-900 for NM 7s but that's the way it is right now.

The one item I was able to pick up. Really wanted the other one that I kept bidding on but eventually realized that sleep was more important at almost 2am.

Nice looking #144! I think you did well, especially considering the market these days. I was hoping the '33 Goudey Ruth #53 SGC 30 might slip through due to the mark on the back, that kind of card is normally right in my wheelhouse. But it went into the stratosphere. Guessing there's a decent chance that $24k may be the record for any 1933 Goudey graded 2 or less (not counting the pseudo-1933 Lajoie of course).

I won the PSA 5 1956 Koufax auto. Only one higher iirc . I decided to go one bid higher when I saw what the Greenberg Goudey auto was at. (Gonna be selling it as I have a high grade 56 Koufax and a later Topps auto in the PC.)

Also won one of the Polar Bear Admiral Schlei and the PSA 8 Dooin Herpolsheimer (which is the only 8 iirc?)

Thought all three were steals, but what I really wanted was the Maruzen Berg which became a last second bidding war. Now that I know it exists I'll have to nab one for my PC from someone or somewhere.
I also was high on the Swift Meats set, but dropped at 4100. I can imagine that PSA 10 Robinson getting 3k+

Thanks Chad! It is always nice to get some confirmation on a purchase like that. The #53 surprised me as well. I was in early on that one as well until it shot to the moon.

I did manage to get a 53 Topps Paige. Will never finish the set but this will make a nice addition.

Some Great Pickups Everyone

Congrats

Gosh.....I feel left out....:(

That is a stunning Cobb for a “2”. Congratulations!

Bill

Great Card, I already have this one but still looking for any other crawford Zeenuts!

Mistaken Post

Haha ... no worries at all ... I am sure the consignor is happy ... now I just need to find a well centered E90 Speaker. The hunt begins :-)

I won only one card, this N173 Dan Stearns. Been looking for it for many years. Was surprised it didn’t run a lot higher. (The back is totally fine.)

I’m sure we will see a awesome piece from you soon. Added you on instagram by the way baberuthcollector account.

thats gotta feel good!!!!! nicest 2 cobb red ive ever seen!!!!

not sure you could really overpay on these. the really good ones are locked down pretty tight.

I only won this Oms, which is an upgrade for my Aguilitas Segundas set.

great e120 josh! I was in it for a minute! I'll have to settle fro my uglier neilson!!!!

I was bidding on it but turned my attention elsewhere. Congrats!

Pretty sharp for a 2.

Even with all the great auctions these days, REA is still an event, and it's fun to hear from you playas about what you got, missed, and think. Thanks for sharing with us peons, and keep it going!

It rarely happens that a placeholder bid of mine ends as the winner but it did on this, I expected given the grade it would go for a bit more.

Winner!
 

Prices for the vintage tickets were not as insane as I expected albeit still high. I finally got my Wamby game ticket for what I think it not too crazy a price. I guess time will tell.

Had all these sets complete in the late 90’s 1968 thru 1995. Sold them before I moved to Las Vegas. Feel a twitch of sadness now. Just didn’t want to carry them around whenever I moved. Most of my collection is sold now. Prices are way to high for me now. Oh well.

Received my items today. REA is by far the best in many respects, including the time it takes to ship.

I won the Pee Wee Reese 53 Bowman. Got it today as well. Their shipping is fast.

Same here, received my item today.

Coolest card extant IMO. Congrats

Thanks! I’m really happy to add it to my collection. Never had one before.

Thanks Bill. I was very happy to pick this one up.
