Heritage Auction Wins
 

I was able to pick up this T207 Kelly with Cycle back last night. Who else here won cards in that auction? I am kicking myself for not going after the E94 Byrne overprinted (Three Strikes!) back. It went low.

I got skunked on everything I was bidding on. Gah!

My bids also went nowhere--but I do like the half-hour close for each lot. In general the many top-graded e90s went well under estimates. Does it seem caramel cards--speaking very very generally and not including CJs--have been in decline? Also, a lot of he most pricey CJs also failed to reach low end of estimates--when they said "2000 and up" they were often lucky to reach $1500.

I was going after the Hugh Duffy N173 but lost out. I thought it went for a really nice price for a HOFer.

The Glasscock N173 was gorgeous. Really strong price for that one.

Strayed from the Monster to pick up these two for my Keeler collection :D

I had four primary targets . . .

golden sombrero for me :mad:

Nice Daryl

Thanks DJ!

I helped drive the price up on the N173 Glasscock but just couldn't pull the trigger at $3k. I didn't expect it to go that high at all.

I think the vast majority of caramel cards have either stagnated or have been on a steady decline. 1930s cards of players not named Ruth or Gehrig have performed similarly.

Great pickups so far guys.

Ya' never know on estimates. I saw some that were low. I am not sure if I am going backward or forward with this one? And I don't know what my focus is going to be in the Luckey Collection II but this will be in it. I said yesterday that I thought high grade collecting was fine. And then there is collector grade....again, with no disrespect meant to us collectors. It's only terminology...

Gorgeous card, Leon. :eek:

Nice cards, Luke! Had my eye on the E90-1 for a bit as well.

Nice to see you haven't lost the bug, Leon. Awesome Young!

I won 4 T205s last night.

Still bidding... Won the 52 Topps set -1 and plenty of other things... If anyone has a Mantle I am looking for one to complete the set.

I struck out on the Boston Store Cobb and E103 Wagner.

Anyone else think that the majority of the T204's went really cheap?

Win some, lose some
 

I have 2 more to go on my E95 set - Wagner and Cobb, two very nice cards in last nights HA auction. I kept at it last night, up, re-upped, etc - finally threw in the towel on each. Beautiful cards but couldn't justify any more given prices and trends IMO and kept telling myself to be patient. I was the under-bidder on both - congratulations to whomever won those! Especially the Wags, very nice card!

I did win the E95 Leach (that was one of the nicest 5.5's I've seen in a while, dead centered and very clean! Also the Willis in a 6 - both of which upgrade a bit over what I have.

ErikV - thank you for noticing these and what I needed! I might have overlooked otherwise.

Nice Cy, Leon. That was an amazing run of American Caramels offered.

Picked this one up - very happy, considering what it sold for at REA last year.

Nice pickup! If you don't mind me asking, how many Obak Millers are you up to these days?

This one makes 44 (1910 and 1911 combined).

Funny, I had 6 lots targeted last night, I lost the first two, but won the next two. This and the Mello Mint Boss Schmidt were my next two, but I never got to them. Beautiful card, congrat's! (I sure am glad I didn't get in a bidfest with you guys:):):):))

Me too!

I put in max bids on an E98 PSA-7 Eddie Grant & a 1914 Cracker Jack PSA-5 Hank Gowdy, but missed them both.

Took the o-fer but am kicking myself on not going for more on the E90 Shean

As I noted elsehere, I am so disappointed about not getting a CJ that I am trolling for anyone feeling buyers' remorse or otherwise wanting to sell PSA 6 or higher one...

Did anyone here get the T213-1 Cobb? I love that card.

+1- I bid on it, but didn't last nearly long enough. Really pretty card.

I went 0-8. I'm buying a new bat and hitting the batting cages.

most n162's
 

went unreal high... no wins :-(

Awesome, Jeff.

Congrats on the wins. Some nice cards in here so far.

LOL....just lean in and get hit by a pitch! The results are the same! :-p

This one is a first for me...

Happy Saturday,
Steve

Hi I'm Paul from Pennsylvania(just outside of Christy Mathewson's hometown). Lost out on the Matty W600 after $5000 I did pick up the E90 -1Wagner though.

Great cards, Steve and Paul!

I also had my eye on the W600 Mathewson, Paul, but it flew out of my stratosphere as well. :) The Wagner you picked up is a very nice alternative (the good registration really helps that card).

Thanks Chuck. I agree on the registration on the Wagner but I thought the price was right compared to the REA sold last week. This week marks my first foray into the non e-bay auctions. I also picked up a few things from Goldin Auctions. Would appreciate all advice as I'm returning to collecting after a long absence.

my pickup, I'm pleased

Any theory on WaJo t206 Sovereign PSA 3 going for $2200 or so? Hope it's real, as I have a 2. Write-up claimed it might be undergraded but can't believe it's just that....

I'm wondering if a lot of the CJ 14s went below what I (and they) guessed because market finally cooling a bit -- or simply with so many CJ cards to bid on (an entire collection) the wealth was spread around and some cards topped out early. Your thoughts?

Dave, sweet looking Joe Jax, Congrats!

Scored several upgrades to my Goudey set. Many thanks to the genius handling the Stuckemeyer collection. Your not answering emails saved me a bundle. :D:D:D

Plus a few upgrades on hard to find low pop commons. :D:D:D

Ron, fantastic pickups. What's your grade average on the set?

Thanks Jay, around 87.25. I am afraid reaching 88 is just a dream. :D:D:D

Thanks Jay, around 87.25. I am afraid reaching 88 is just a dream. I would have checked the SGC Registry to find the exact number, but I don't have all day. :D:D:D

Congrats all on some really nice wins. I struck out.

It's tough to gauge with just this one auction, but some results were surprising. I was only following some of the HOFers, not the commons, but I thought the Speaker went pretty low for some reason, while a couple bidders duked it out on the Wagner pushing it over $20K. The Lajoie did fairly well, too. It will be interesting to see how prices go over the next year.

Congrats on the e90-1 Young Leon. I was able to see this card firsthand at a couple of Heritage auction previews and it's even more striking in person. One of my favorite cards in the hobby and easily the nicest example I've ever seen or am likely to see.

Shoeless
 

Great card! Love that pose. I have the Sporting News version and it is one of my favorites

I was bidding on a 1938 Goudey Ernie Lombardi PSA 7. I tapped out when it hit $800 ( I have to factor in buyers premium plus exchange rate) and it finished at $2400. Afterwards I saw that it's quite low on the pop report. High end Big Heads go for Big Bucks!

Was very suprised when i looked at my Email and saw i won something, the 1 thing i bidded on and WON IT!!! OMG!!!!
My 2nd COBB, now onto the bat/on and off version to do my 4 Cobb run.

Was able to outlast for the elusive Mr. Shotten

My only win is this T207 Cycle of George Mogridge for both my type collection and my 1924-Senators-players collection:

But, I was the under-bidder on the card I really wanted - this recently discovered 1917 Merchants Bakery card of WaJo. I just couldn't bring myself to bid higher, as I felt it was already above what it should sell for. In fact, it went for the same price, $2,868, as the nice looking 1922 Gassler's Bread card of Ty Cobb, which surprised me, as I thought the Cobb would sell for more. In fact, each of the six lots of Merchants Bakery cards (lots 80971 - 80976) went for a good bit more than I expected them to (e.g., the SGC 20 Eppa Rixey sold for $1,314). I'm wondering if the same bidder won all six lots - does anyone know who won these?
