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.

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

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.

Powell 05-05-2024 01:48 PM

I agree 100%. I have had occasions on Heritage where I could not pivot and lost items I would have gone higher

Many thanks, DJ. That Evers is sharp with perfect registration - congrats!

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

I am guessing it might not be an encore performance but who knows. But kudos to the person taking the shot.

Rhotchkiss 05-05-2024 02:40 PM

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

Last night's auction contained about 75% of my total consignment, with other items to sell in the Summer and Winter auctions. When I first consigned, Joe and I (Joe is with Memory Lane) sat down and we estimated a low, likely, and high value for every card. Last night, the total aggregate sales price of my consignments, with the Buyer's Premium, was about 3% above the total likely-value we placed on the items. Thus, last night's entire consignment ended, in the aggregate, almost exactly where we estimated it would. That said, many individual items went for very different amounts that expected (both good and bad).

The D304s went crazy. Literally, nonsensical; but I wont complain! The Wagner, Matty, Lajoie, Collins, and many commons went for multiples over prior highs.

My T206 set and 1914 CJ set both did better, in aggregate, than I expected. The 1914 CJ Jackson was the bad egg of the entire auction -- someone stole that card. But most other items, including commons, did very well. Same with the T206 set; the Green Cobb did not do well at all, but that was offset substantially by the other Cobbs and many PSA 7s+ and strong results for commons.

The W600 Matty went through the roof, as it should have, considering it was produced in his rookie year (albeit not the first issue of his rookie year). The Tip Top Wagner did great, and my Planks all finished very strong. Almost every Ruth finished on the lighter side of what I expected, and a few crapped the bed. Wagners and Cobbs are definitely 10%-20% off their highs, but still strong.

Put it this way, it was a very large and diverse consignment and it ended at 102%+ (including BP) of where we estimated the likely value total to be. I am happy with the results, and now I need sleep!

Damn. With all those cards and at that level of value, to come within 3 percent of your expected target is IMO incredible!!

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 did and thank you. Always unfortunate imo when members go against each other but sometimes it can't be helped. I'm rooting for you and your friend to get the next one that comes up.

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

Congrats Ryan! Thanks so much for sharing your results. Pretty amazing how close you were to estimating your total return, even if individual results were all over the place. Looks like it was Matty’s moment last night/this morning. How often do you have a major auction where the two highest results (and only six figure results) are both Mathewsons?

+1

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.

I feel asleep a little after 3AM trying to wait up to get in late bids. I refuse to place a top all bids in any auction. I don’t know why some auction companies think this is good business. HA and REA have changed and they are both the leaders for sport card auctions IMO. I wish other AHs would follow suit and close lots independently, which allows bidders all to be there, competing for that lot. The ML format we guess when the auction is gonna close. Heck, I could do a bid ever 15 minutes for 24 hours straight if I wanted to and then that would make the AH just shut it down manually. This favors all the West Coast buyers… Ok, enough complaining about the format..

The Matty W600 was amazing and no surprise to the final price. Congrats to the winner. I thought the Young Cabinet had a little meat left on the bone and maybe I should have popped a late bid on that.

My bid around 1 or 2am held up on the 1910 T213 type 1 (1910) Red Cobb which is a card I’ve always wanted. My understanding on the three types are type 1’s are most rare followed closely from type 3s (1919), then type 2s which are still rare but more common (if you can say that) for the series.

Congrats to all the winners of the ML auction including the bottom items in the gallery, as I would have bid more had I been awake. If you want to sell for quick profit then PM me….

I did happen to get beat like a red headed step child on the “3 bagger” Gehrig. I thought the price was insane but have never seen Gehrig W502 card in a 3 bagger back. I only buy centered backs with low eye appeal. Took a shellacking setting other records on 2 others. ����������������*����*�� I dislike the format but can’t argue with the cards or Joe T’s fabulous verbal bj description. Met him in Strongsville and I love the guy. FYI, I am on the west coast.

Donscards 05-06-2024 04:36 AM

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

Exhibitman 05-06-2024 07:11 AM

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.
