The Ruth 25 exhibit and Cobb postcards went cheap relative to recent other auctions I thought, but I didnt try to bid again on those, so maybe that’s more the market than recent other sales? The Ruth 25 went for $30k plus in similar condition recently vs $17k here? One of his cooler images. I already finished my T3 set, but someone got a pretty good deal on those lots, the images were great with a stamp on the back keeping prices down. Almost started another set! Of course those are expensive to grade. |

Feel good about adding my first Red Hindu to the PC.

Particularly in an auction format like this, the difference has got to be like 2-3 bidding increments, which seems like it's so close that it's probably not worth getting excited about, or even attempting to explain. Then again, it's a lot easier to be sanguine in these situations when your card is the one that sells for 10% higher, rather than for 10% lower. |
Everything I watched seemed to exceed what I expected or was willing to pay. Was very surprised at some of the prices.

Great pick ups Srik, Wazoo, and Bruce, congrats. I went O-fer in REA, super strong prices on my want list, but I was able to pick up this little gem on EBay last night of all places. - |

Srik, congrats on the Uzit! One of my favorite backs, and might even be rarer than Drum.
Seems like T206 printing errors are roaring back, some very robust prices- Criger Front Miscut, Rudolph Upside Down Back, Hummel multi strike, Shaw Ghost, Lash Bitters, even the low-grade Nodgrass. All very strong. |
"T206 Magie error PSA 3 closed at $33.6k. It was a great looking example, but a little annoying since my 3, which was very nice in its own right, only brought $29.5k in ML’s spring auction. Considering I have a number of t206s coming up in their summer auction, I am trying to decide if it was condition difference that justifies the extra 10%, or does REA bring better prices on T206 than memory lane. I think it’s a little of both."
Ryan, IMO it's neither. I feel yours was slightly better condition, although they are both very nice and comparable. I also think ML and REA are both top shelf and bring very similar prices. I think it's just a slight increase in the market. It's a very rare and desirable card, and people who are priced out on Planks go hard on Magie. Also, a 10% difference isn't that much...if it was 20-30% more, than that would make for an interesting conversation. To me, they are comparable condition, and the auction results feel quite comparable too. Again, I'm thinking there's a slight uptick in the market over the last few months. |

Price disparity between 1914 CJ Jackson sold and 1915 CJ Jackson for sale…
|
thats what a diamond cut on the sides and top/bottom centering will do to value I guess?
I was wondering why the e93 matty ex-mt went so cheap...I surmise it was the centering/diamond cut? |

I thought they could be bought right for resale, but I finally have up on the lot of 49 and the lot with backstamps in the extended bidding :)
|
I bought the Cobb Bat Off Shoulder PSA 6 for $19.2k (including buyer’s fee). I don’t think it should be a 6 necessarily, but this card sold for $25.2k in the December REA auction. Tough 7 months.
Picked up a bunch of T3s. Prices were mostly high all around but the inventory was solid. |

Are most Cobbs down? |
They are down a bit, but that example is extreme, if not an anomaly.
On a separate note... Has anyone here received an invoice yet from REA? Seems like either they are lagging behind, or perhaps I am the anomaly. :rolleyes: |

I was fortunate to out last the under bidder on that W601 Postcard in the wee hours of the night. W600s and W601s are extremely rare and having the postmark and stamp on the back in my eyes makes it more desirable even though having a blank back in higher grade on it, would most likely fetch more money. Good analogy Ryan on the 1915 Ruth card. I was thinking the 1925 Gehrig exhibit 10 years ago when they could be had in the 5-10k range and now they are 6 figures in most cases. |

Received mine the morning after. Should be arriving tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Got mine early the next morning too. Didn't have an option to use a credit card as payment which for some reason I found a little odd in this day and age but maybe all the big houses are like that. Just charge another 3% for the option.
|
with REA's software you can always just look at your invoice on your account if for some reason you missed the email.

I do see my invoice on their website, under "My Account". Now I just need to know their Zelle-related email or phone #, as the on-line Invoice doesn't show it. I'll just call them in the morning, unless someone happens to post it here. Thanks again, Mark |
