I believe the ML style of closing greatly increases prices. Extended bidding started at 7pm, and from 7pm to well over midnight, my cards were getting many multiple bids per minute. I don’t believe this would have happened in an REA/Heritage format, where you only have 15-30 minutes to pivot and are often closed out of lots you would have bid again on, but extended bidding on those lots had ended. Under ML’s style, a bidder can, and does, have more time and options to pivot if/when they are outbid on other lots. I agree that as a bidder, the style is tough. But as a consignor, I really like it and I think it made a huge difference/impact on my set breaks last night.

I was able to pickup two cards last night, happy with both and their ending price. The Cicotte is a nice upgrade to my Sox W514 subset.

Congrats on the Mellow Mint Cobbie Daryl! I love the Coupon Cobb JC! I was happy to pick up the 1900 Pirates Cabinet

thought I had the 1914 CJ Joe Wood wrapped up. Two other people outbid me.
I “know” one of the two bidders & was really rooting for him. Ended up winning a two Joe DiMaggio signed photos lot. I’m very happy w/ the Joe D lot but won’t be celebrating the win with eating Cracker Jacks https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...682bc09dda.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8cda44d07c.jpg |

Daryl, you're on fire with the rebuild. Congrats!
I got 1 pickup last night. I'm just glad the other example from earlier in the week went for less than I was expecting. |
I agree 100%. I have had occasions on Heritage where I could not pivot and lost items I would have gone higher

This is crazy! Very curious to see what the 5.5 goes for when it is ultimately resold (probably through ML) |

Some of my favorite, former, cards have already been posted here.
Paul -- that is one of my favorite pieces. I debated whether to consign that. Its an amazing piece. Ultimately, I have nowhere to display it and I have the Patterson team cabinet from 1897, so that went to the auction house. It was the last item I consigned. Enjoy it and congrats. DJ -- I am glad you got the red crofts Evers. Its where it belongs Daryl-- another amazing piece. That one took me a long time, and a lot of money (more than what you bought it for) to obtain. I finally gave up the attempt at the back run once I reconciled there were a few front-back combos I would never own. Enjoy -- she is a beater but oh so beautiful. JC -- I know you didnt win those, but I love the Cy Young pin. There are so few images/items if Cy during the bulk of his career than anything from the dead era between 1888 and 1903 is so special. Another card that went bezerck was the E90-1 Speaker. I have long felt it was undervalued, but it went to the moon last night. Tony -- Yes, the Joe Jackson Herp went low too, considering the rare back. That said, the M101-4/5 Jackson has absolutely exploaded over the past year, so I guess its all relative |

Those D304s . . . wow. I got two I needed but going in thought I might get a bunch. Today I feel lucky to have gotten what I did. Also was very happy to get the Ju-Ju Drums Wagner and a nice T3 Rucker.
Incredible auction. Congratulations Ryan on your consignments. I have to agree with you on the format. Even though it is a pain for us on the east coast to have to stay up all night there is no question this format gives the buyer much more flexibility to pivot to alternate items when he loses out of his primary target. I would not have gotten the Chase or the Rucker under the item by item close format, and some of my later bids that were topped would never have been placed. Clearly better for you. |

I'm so mad at myself for not being in position to buy the w600 bender. It went for 1/3 what I would have guessed. I would buy it tomorrow for 9k |

I have been a long long time consignor to REA but since they changed their closing format a few years ago the “oomph” is gone. When I have heavy consignments I like to buy big too and without the ability to pivot back to items, well it sucks from the buying side. Thus, it directly affects consignments too. I picked this guy up last night. Congrats to the e105 Cobb & Wagner winners, 2 of the best cards in the auction in my opinion. I’m still in shock that the d304 Wagner sold for more than the e105 Wagner (throwing). Congrats to Ryan and a hearty “thank you” for making such wonderful items available to us all. |
Fantastic Wagners, Jim and Aaron!

Ryan. Thanks for consigning the 1914 cracker jacks always tough to find 1914. I did get 11. Mostly minor Hall of famers but did get the Speaker. I missed on Wood. I thought the Wagner went a little low. I have one so couldn’t afford another. Great auction. Thanks. Don

The prices on the Ruth exhibits seemed very solid. A midgrade example is gold.
The Robinson premium did just fine. It is really hard to handicap a rare item. The closing mechanics bear discussion. As a consignor I would consider ML based on what I read here. |

Were you also able to pick up anything in the action? |

Was happy to win T206 Carolina Brights - Dummy Taylor!
Would anyone know who once owned that Dummy Hoy / Dummy Taylor collection? |

Congrats, Danny! |
It's great to see so many in the Net54 community win some of Ryan's cards. I hope there will be posts when the cards are in hand!

The Jan 1989 500 HR Living Members Ron Lewis print (signed) had to be among the best deals of this auction (value to size -wise). Winning bid was under $100 per signatur & it’s already framed.
