Heritage Winnings
 

The auction is winding down lot by lot. Post your winnings here. I came away with this one ...

Nice Comiskey, Paul.

So far this is the lone win, and I'm pretty happy with it. I don't think I can stomach another bid on the T206 Speaker scrap (oh well).

Crofts blue, though really torn up on the back.

1st one I've ever owned

Happy with this

Great cards guys. CW, I was on that Nap too -- very very pretty -- but man did that thing get expensive; I bowed out at around $1200. Great looking card and great back (front/back combo). Here is what I got, and I am very excited about both. I think these will end my 2017 buying.

Didn't expect to win either of these.

I'm very excited!

I was wondering if the winner of the signed Playball cards lot would be interested in selling the 1941 Play ball #22 Johnson card. Please send me a message if you do. Thanks, Scott.

Does anyone else think that some of the big $$$ items went lower than expected?

Or were the estimates way too high? Any thoughts? PSA 8 Mantle 52 Topps $408K?

Tony

Yes Clemente PSA 8 rookie sold heritage $20k. Rose PSA 9 rookie sold $40k. Koufax PSA 9 rookie sold $108k. Alcindor PSA 10 rookie sold $240k. Chamberlain PSA 9 rookie sold $22k are a few examples.

1895 Hughie Jennings mounted photo
 

Posted on the memorabilia side but picked this up.

Nothing in pre-war, but I grabbed one of these:

big yes! i was surprised the Goudey Ruth (181) in a PSA 8 sold for 45.6 REA just sold a comparable 8 of that card for $66,000.

i wonder if 52T Mantles, especially low grade ones, are cooling off. Finally.

Love that Jennings!

I was the under bidder of oh so many and only came away with this one. Happy though ... I've been wanting this pose for a long time. :)

Brad - I really like that photo of Jennings. From what I understand, he only played in Brooklyn from 1899-1900 and then again in 1903. So, I think your c1895 date can be adjusted upwards by a few years. Really great image though!

I picked up this Perkins Studio Cabinet of Kid Gleason to go along with my Perkins Studio Cab of Jennings (see my avatar):

I was the under bidder, you got a real nice photo at a real nice value.

Congratulations on that Tip Top Wagner; it's one of my all-time favorites!!!!!


Steve

The Clemente had poor centering for an 8. A Mantle with better centering sold earlier this year for 660k, one with worse centering sold for 384k in August. 408k for the Mantle wasn't that low. None of the cards that I was bidding on went low.

Derek, I was the under bidder on the Gleason and was really hoping to get it, just couldn't stay awake and went to bed before extended bidding began. At least I'm glad to see it went to a good home.

DJ

And a 52 mantle topps psa 8 sold for $282k in hunt auctions earlier this year too.

Some great wins.

Chuck, that Nap is T206 perfection!

Ryan, love the Wags and JJ.

I wonder if the lower than expected prices represent auction fatigue. I’ve talked to a couple dudes who have simply spent a ton of money already this year and are holding off for awhile. My bet is prices will start to spike again in Spring.

I think the card market, with a few exceptions, is soft now. This is good if you are a buyer, bad if you are a seller. An auction house can only put out the catalog, they can’t make people bid (although Goldin and Hunt with their annoying phone calls sure try).

Hi Derek,

Sorry yeah I don't know why I put 1895 they have written on the back 1896 Baltimore Orioles so that is why I was saying Baltimore and not Brooklyn.

Hope you are well,
Brad

+1 on the phone calls. Goldin calls always at the absolute worst time I've noticed to. They are blocked in my phone.

Muchas gracias, Ryan and Sam!

Congrats to everyone that posted so far.

Missed on a bunch. But did finally get another one of these after I traded my other away and have regretted it for a while.

I picked this up...paid a little more than I wanted but oh well!

Seems that large 398 different T206 lot went very reasonable along with that T205 set...

Nice e90-1 Clarke/Pitts. Tuff card in any condition let alone that nice one.

I was busy going after e125s and you darned Pitts. collectors blocked me on several!!!

Great card. I thought about going after it, but dropped out early. Congratulations.

Ryan, great job. I love that Jackson. Now I want one. :)

W600 Dougherty
 

Nothing special, but one I did not have. Will be freed from the holder upon arrival!

Always buying or trading for W600's I don't have.

Congrats Scott - I was hoping that you grabbed that one. At this point, it must be like finding a needle in a haystack for you to add anything to your W600 collection.

Great pick ups guys. I was able to snag the M116 Cy Young SGC 50.

Have my fingers crossed for tomorrow.

The price finally came down enough. This is an 8 in any holder.

.

Love it, that definitely belongs in your collection, congrats!

Been jealous of Jeff L's bitchen' 1933 Goudey Ott for a long long time and was finally able to land one almost as worthy.

Ho'omai'ka'i 'ana Kawika. That "Ott" to make you happy! Great card.

Mahalos fo' dat, Ed. It gets pitch black here at 4pm, the furnace just got its annual tune-up and I put my winter tires on last week. The islands are a long way away but mau ke aloha no Hawaii.

Prince Oana throwing bullets.

I love that 2nd series Goudey, David. Just great, great images.

Picked up these notepads.

Not pre-war but I won this.
James

Awesome. I got the original negative used for the Yankee example you win. I wonder if it was the same consigner or just a crazy Coinsidence as the glass neg is obviously a 1 of 1 and no one I ha e takes to has seen the notebook(collectors in the know).

Congrats Gary, I was the underbidder and just decided to go after something else after I was outbid....

This will look great on my wall:

Apparently you forgot about the Mastro business model. Bill didn't have to make people bid.... he'd bid for them.... :p

I've been looking 20 years for one this nice!

Thanks, Greg. I had a few more bullets left, but definitely glad I didn't have to use them!

Won 3 post war on Saturday night. Nothing too exciting, but I thought they were nice!

My first E125's

Added a few items, including a couple of cards I've been after for a bit - I can live with the centering on the Mantle since the image presents nicely, and thought the Speaker was solid for a 30!

Congrats Scott- nice pickups

Hmm..just realized that he is in a Baltimore uniform (I was thinking it was Brooklyn). Dang it! Nice pick-up Brad! The style looks very similar to the mid- to late-1890s Cabinets produced by Betz Studios of Baltimore (missing the black mount). I wonder if that’s where your photo comes from. Might be worth looking into...

quoting myself as I have found the exact same image of Jennings on a Betz Studio Cabinet (from a friend's private collection). I believe these were produced between 1896-1898 based on the subjects who appeared in this "set".

Here's a link to the Betz Studio Keeler that sold at REA back in 2007:

https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...ce?itemid=9140

Brad - your Jennings image is definitely from Betz Studio and is very likely from this same "set" (as I have seen this exact image of Jennings but with the full black cabinet intact around it). Thought you'd like to know.

More EPDGs to sift through. Gonna be a fun mail day.....

;)

I picked up some '15 Cracker Jacks. I was really after the Branch Rickey and Cicotte. The others may be available soon.

Not prewar, but this is a set that has special meaning to me. A longtime dealer I respect a lot, used to always tell me how rare these cards were and how cool they were. Plus, I think he remembered watching the competition live on TV.

This one is for you Jay!

I loved watching those old episodes in my younger years...they were "hokey!!!"

"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." - attributed to Rogers Hornsby. Back in the day there wasn't cable TV, 24-7 news cycles, cameras in everyone's faces. Winter meant no baseball. Zero zip nada. In 1960 at least we had Home Run Derby. We got to see our baseball heroes up close in the California sunshine in glorious black-and-white while we were freezing our butts in living color. Home Run Derby was "must see TV" for this erstwhile ten-year old. Very cool pick-up.

does anyone know who won the W572 set? If so, I have an additional piece that goes along with the set. Have them contact me.

Their shipping is beginning to rival REA. My lot arrived yesterday. I thought a lot of the 19th century items went cheap.

HeRitage doesn’t charge for shipping either?

Ha, good one...

I paid like 8 minutes after getting invoiced. Did they send you a tracking number? Haven’t heard a peep and my account doesn’t show shipped.

The tracking numbers shows up under orders. They also send out an email when the item ships.

My item was shipped before i even paid. I guess I’m
A “big boy” now.

Same with me - I paid same day and no tracking number anywhere or shipping email.

Guess I'm not a "big boy" like some others...

I paid within minutes of getting the invoice and was notified they were going to wait a couple of weeks before they shipped. Only been buying in every auction since 2008 or so and always pay immediately. After calling them they said they would not wait to ship. Guess I will see if this ends up being true.

Same here, just not sure how. I think this was only like my 3rd time winning something from them. Maybe I spent too much in the past? :rolleyes:

Anyone else still waiting on a tracking number? My echeck cleared on the 21st. I haven't heard anything from them until this morning I got an email asking me to fill out a survey about my recent purchase. :confused:

I paid with Paypal on the 19th and my winnings also haven't shipped yet... I tried calling and emailing with no results.

This has to be the worst shipper among all of the major auction houses :mad:

I'm not sure how I got on the "nice list" either. I've bought from them here and there (probably about 5 times now), but not sure why my stuff shipped so fast. Very inconsistent w/ what others are reporting. I wonder what put them on the "naughty list"?

got shipping email on Monday. Interesting they changed over to USPS instead of Fedex ground.....

So... I would assume unfavorable responses on the survey...:eek:

taxes
 

Several states have to pay taxes with Heritage, including Illinois where I live. I had to add an additional 10.5% sales tax, which is fine as I was fully aware of it going into the auction.

My question is: Why isn't that shown in the final sell price? If a guy pays $100K for an item, then they show the buyer's premium but not the additional tax (if there is one), why wouldn't this be reflected in the final sale price? On a final sale of $100K, that's an additional $10,500 (if you're in Chicago).

I've always had great experiences with Heritage.

Still waiting for a tracking number. I wired money last Wednesday morning and no tracking number yet. Its comforting to know other people are in same boat; Heritage is usually so quick with shipping
