I echo your sentiment. Any well managed, properly staffed operation should be able to ship packages within 1 business day of payment. I haven't received my tracking # yet, but sent payment this morning.

If anyone on the board won Lot #159 and would like to sell the Austin, please let me know!

Shipping
 

Sean,
I paid via wire transfer on Monday and got a FEDEX tracking # on Tue night.

Needed this for my baseball photo 'type' collection. He's been moving around too much.

My "Lone" win:

Attachment 188354

Great image Scott. I bet that pitcher was pretty hard to hit from that distance.

I bet these guys also had a tough time finding a catcher. Probably had to get a new one every couple of pitches.

Depending on what his follow-through looked like, I imagine he wasn't that hard to hit it all. With the bat, that is.

And FedEx has arrived!

They received my cashiers check today and my items are already tendered at FedEx :)

Congrats
 

everyone! absolutely great pieces:eek:

Winnings
 

REA winnings in hand and would have been sooner if I had been home yesterday when FEDEX arrived.
Incredible customer service just like Sterling Auctions.
REA even covered the FedEx at no charge!

Thanks!

Mike

REA shipment arrived yesterday Thanks, guys!

Mine arrived as well. Top notch service from Brian and the gang at REA.

Lot 494 (R315s)
 

I could use some of the R315s from the lot- PM me if any available.

REA has always given exceptional service. I struck out this year but they have always shipped immediately in past years.

This came today

Great pickup, Greg. I was the underbidder on the letter.

Why so much secrecy here, everyone is quick to post how fast their items arrived, now let's see them.........

Arrived yesterday. Missed this one a couple times as it came up over the years. As a Gehrig guy it gets no better.

Congratulations Chesbro, that is a beautiful card!

They Don't get much better than that. Awesome pickup.

I think it is because some of us are afraid of being teased for paying too much :) What the heck, here is my newest Matty. Always wanted a Carolina Brights back.

Luke, I've always heard that when it comes to high value cards, "you can never pay too much, you can only pay it too soon." Meaning that you may have overpaid for that card today, but it will increase in value. The good cards like that one always do, and will soon be worth more than you paid for it.

I use that theory to justify my purchases, and even if it doesn't always work, it does always make me feel better. :D

And that's a great Matty. :cool:

Thanks, Sean. Good words to live by! :D

Greg, curious about your letter
 

What does the other side say, since it says "over" in the lower left hand corner

Buster
 

:eek::eek:

I wanted to know who ended up with this beauty! Major congrats on such an awesome card.

I wanted to add to my horde. I actually have two of the amazing Type 2 Gehrigs but in low grade. There just aren't many of those, and as others have commented, yours is terrific!

I would have struggled to get momma to agree to a third and the associated cost of it...I guess she is probably right.

BUT once again, this is a great pickup! Congrats !!

It is blank, not sure why Matty wrote "over" :confused:

I got one pink peanut. Seriously!! Thousands of white peanuts and one pink one. Who does this? I think someone at REA is F-in' with me.

Ken

PS: The group of signed baseballs that came with this is awesome.

1st REA win in a long time
 

Been a while since I took something home from REA! Been trying to score a cabinet with Uncle Paul on it for quite some time. I am very pleased with this pick up!

E94 Violet Cobb
 

Been waiting for this for a looong time. Honored to have one of Jim B's cards in my collection.

Holy cow, Pete! That and the Ruth FF, all in the same month! Wow, someone upstairs really likes you.

You're welcome, bro. :)

Another monster card Pete!!! What I find most interesting about your pickups this month is that the Violet Murray is more scarce than both of your bigger acquisitions!!

Damn, Pete! You are on a serious roll!

Unreal :eek:
