Legendary Pickups. . .
 

Anyone walk away with anything good last night? I picked up the Cobb Pinkerton postcard.

nice, Pinkerton Cobb was the one thing I was really considering. Great pickup, thought it went cheap.

OJ Wright
 

Saw the OJ Wright went for $750 - I think that was a pretty good pickup for someone considering it had the "NL" designation on it. Surprised Legendary didnt include that in the description; it is even on the SGC slip...

If anyone here won the "1880s-1930s Vintage "Type Card" Collection (117 Different) Including Hall of Famers", let me know. There are 1 (maybe 2) minor cards I would be interested in.

I thought so too, that is why I won it. In fact, I was trying to figure out how much my max bid was going to be and around 11:29pm last night, I was actually getting mad that the other bidders were waiting until the last minute to place their next bid. I didn't want to stay up too late going back and forth on it.

Not only is Wright a tough HOF'er to get in the first place, the 1890 card only comes with one of his three poses and it is a lot easier to find the non-NL version of that card. So yes, that is a very tough card to find

pickup
 

I acquired the underwood and underwood 1915 photo of game 2
of the world series between Boston and Philadelphia.
Great dynamic between the 2 catchers. Grover Cleveland Alexander lost this
one.
all the best,

This auction is still running, ends tonight

Glad to hear you got it John - agree that 750 is a good price for a "common" Wright, much less this one. I had a placeholder bid in and planned to come back and bid again but I got busy and by the time I checked it again the auction had ended.

I thought so too Jeff. Kept waiting for someone to come back at me, but it never happened.

Congrats, John.

Thanks Scott. Wish I put in another bid on the Wilbert Robinson OJ, that went too cheap. Someone got a great buy on that

Whoops! :o

if anyone here won the BF2 lot. id love to pick up some Cubs off ya :)

John, nice pickup on the 1890 Wright! Prices were pretty weak across the board. Prices were strong in the last Legendary, but weak again in the one before last... Seems very shaky to me. I wasn't a bidder last night for various reasons, so I'll just tell myself that I would've just been running stuff up to normal prices anyway, and I'll get over it.

Edit: It Looks like last night was my chance to grab a Brooklyn mini... I have been wanting one since I started collecting, I hope the Driers had more.

Yep, definitely; unfortunately, the only stuff I was seriously interested in, went high. At some point the guys collecting the same stuff as me have to run out of money :)

Now I am collecting freaking puzzles. What next!!

The buyer of the Wrights CDV got a steal IMHO. Also, the T210 Stengel went for a pretty affordable price. Where did the PM1 Ruth pinback end up?

5500

Nice looking display piece, Leon. I find myself more and more drawn to the things we can look at everyday in our homes.

Thanks, Steve, sounds fair on that one, not too high or too low since I believe that it is one of only two known.

Got my fingers crossed for tonight.

Nice pick-ups, everyone. I would have thought the Robinson would go in the $1200 range. The Dreier Collection has put an abnormal amount of OJ HOFers on the market recently, and that has caused some price weakness.

Many of their OJs seem to have weak photo quality, which I think is adding to the price weakness.

I picked up these two toughies.

Good buys, Jim
beautiful contrast on the Clarkson

Jim - that Clarkson is amazing. Nice grab.

I'm grabbing a burger, and then going to Chat to sweat it out.

Totally have fingers crossed, under 1 1/2 hrs left!!

Was that Clarkson once part of a larger piece? I couldn't tell.

Seems like it was pasted/adhered onto a schedule. The one other one that I am aware of was pasted onto a bigger piece with a different back. Maybe they were thin cards produced by Conly and made available to various interested parties who adhered them to schedules, etc. I am just speculating. There is very little evidence to go on.

I just thought the image was spectacular, maybe unique (?) and fits well with other cards from the era.
JimB

I'm really yearning for the old days. Big auction night, zippo, nada chat action :(

Sad.

+1

The only one I found when looking for info was the one REA auctioned a few years ago.. When you look at the image of the schedule opened you can see it has the same back.

http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/...2008/1175.html

lots of connection issues - I saw Kenny and Chris both join and immediately lose their connections.

What's up with that?

I can't that chat room to work at all, just goes to a blank white screen

Doesn't work for me either

There are only two of us who have been able to keep it up.

(feeling huge)

I cannot get on to chat. Have tried repeatedly.

Congrats Leon, those puzzles were some of my favorite display pieces at Chad and Dougs. You're going to love it when you see it in person.

Mines goes to a Black screen.:confused:

me too

Right in the feels :(

Our chat room, for all practical purposes, isn't working. It is on the "to-do" list. Hopefully I can get something figured out soon. I will push it a bit higher on the priority list.

yea mine's connecting, then loads the skin and language, then itflickers the chat for a moment then goes white

I'm on Chrome if that makes a difference

No, I don't think it makes a difference. I am on chrome too. The chat is just broken right now. (for me and some others)

Isn't that weird, three of us are in there chatting away.

Normally I'm among the screwed when it comes to this sort of stuff.

I can't decide - do I buy an E107 common, or do I buy a car?

Go with the E107. Cars depreciate. :-)

That is actually the one I was referring to and it has a different back.

Jim--it has the same back. The schedule is four sides and the image you are seeing is side four. Side two is on the back of the trimmed Clarkson.

Maybe Conly made a few different schedule backs?
JimB

Chat is dead......long live CHATTTTT!!!!!!

...and I will be riding the bus :)

Jim
 

This is the inside...

Did you get both?

Never really saw myself getting back into e107s and still don't for that matter but I stumbled into one tonight I liked and am happy to have won it!

By the way...I'm in the chat now...seems to be doing ok....

Attachment 89781

Ok, I saw your response... I got booted out of chat for a second.

Good job, Brian. I saw that Keeler foundering and almost bid today, but had too much on my plate.

Got the n173 Keefe yesterday, which looks like it could be a scarcer n173 pose and followed up tonight with the 1889 Boston Imperial cabinet. I can still brag that I have never paid more than $1400 for a baseball card. Thanks to Doug and folks for a great auction. I wanted the Clinton Keefe too, but that's how it goes.

Thanks. I did not know that.
JimB

Did anyone here get this? I'm surprised it went so low... I didn't even bother with a placeholder bid so I wasn't able to bid in extended time:

http://www.legendaryauctions.com/Lot...ntoryid=154255

It went cheap, but it is in two pieces, really ugly, and no one is sure what it is.

Heritage tried to sell one of Danny Richardson but it failed to make the opening bid of 7500... It looks like a card, have you seen one before?

Guys
 

Matt and jay,

I was considering a bid on that item... I think it's a really cool piece, but like you guys I have no idea what it is.

Travis

Here is the other one:
 

I don't know why Legendary thought it might be a CDV. I don't think so... Maybe once a large composite? The card size itself is fairly big so it would need to be pretty big.

The Legendary auction style is sort of like musical chairs. I ended up with the 2 items I most wanted going in, but would have bid on alot of other stuff knowing now what they sold for after the fact. I thought the Gerhardt was a card I could win going in, and it turns out I could have/should have won it.

I bought the Walter Johnson 1908 postcard. I thought it was a special piece. I like the idea of the Big Train sitting down and writing a postcard to his friend after a win. It was only a few months into his second big league season. Signed Walter J.

I got beat out on all the lots I was bidding on...but wow...topping cobb pc sold cheap!!!!

Nice seaver rookie Rob...I find it kinda strange sgc labels it a rookie...and a high #???

Picked this up, not a card, but love it anyway.....

Tim

Thanks Peter! Why would it be strange that SGC would label as both? I have several rookies (Stargell, T. Perez, etc..) where their practice is the same.

I don't know? I guess I don't really have any modern...slabbed cards?! You just don't see designations like that on vintage cards?!

Too bad it didn't have a Weiser Wonder front!!! Cool item nonetheless.

As for me, I came away with the 1915 PM1 Eppa Rixey and the 1942 Musial press photo. I had looked, but never found, an online image of the Rixey pin until this auction! Very happy to get it for relatively cheap. I was certainly willing to pay significantly more for it.

Re: Legendary Pickups
 

It's not baseball, but for the first time I won a lot in
Legendary/(Mastro) Auctions. I feel I got this at a
great price too!

I'm a big collector of Philadelphia Caramel sets, so
I now have the E33 set checked off my list.

ErikV

It was cut from a larger composite which had quite a few photos on it.

Congrats on the 1889 Boston cabinet - I was the underbidder and wanted to go one more bid, but just couldn't. Fabulous piece - I love it!

Second time I've owned this one -- paid about nearly 4x what I paid for it the first time. Not sure that's a sustainable business model, but I am quite pleased to have this Doyle back in my collection.

I was watching a few E107 lots, and was surprised by the final prices on some. I thought the Wagner would've gone higher than it did. A SGC 40 sold for $133,000 6 years ago, and with this being the highest graded card in the hobby, I was thinking around $175K.

The type 2's didn't seem to generate a lot of interest either.

Just my opinion,
Tony

Ditto. I was expecting $160-175k on the Wagner. Somebody got a deal on that grossly undervalued card.
