Got my Delehanty N142! :D

Beautiful card, John. Congrats!

John, WOW!!! Congratulations!!! Dan

Great Delahanty and for a great price imho
The cab presents much nicer than the flip and may have sold for more if it was unslabbed

Thank you - the same piece went for $15k+ in the last REA auction. People must have been chasing other items - Bill had plenty of sick cards in this one.

Great Big Ed card, one of my hobby favs.

Awesome card, John! I had been planning on bidding on it towards the end last night, but had been in the lead on another item when I was going to sleep (which I lost sometime around 1 AM).

Had I ended up winning both, mortgage payments would have been in trouble. Alas, I got neither, but am happy to see you got that great cabinet!!

I saw the Plank went for $191k. What type of jobs do people have where almost $200k is no biggie? I want that job. Congrats on the nice card.

Tried to buy a couple of t206s, but holy cow! Boy did some of those cards ring the bell! T206 cy young psa 8 goes for $30k! Sgc 80 doolan with broadleaf back goes for over $5k! Oh well, maybe next time.

Congrats, John!
 

I was underbidder on the N142 -- I'm glad it went to a good home!

I had been aggressively pursuing the BL350 Phillies, but the pair of them [commons!] sold for $9,500+. Underbidder on both of those -- crazy money for common rare backs. Both presented very nice.

Bill's auctions are really up there with all the big boys. He does a great job on merchandising and he doesn't mind handling phone calls when someone needs a better description. His prices have consistantly reflected that. Wish i could have bought those 2 t206s! Anyone that lost out at the last minute on the t206 psa 8 cy young (glove shows), i have the same card in an sgc 86 holder with a tolstoi back! let me know if interested, thanks.

John,
Very nice!!!

Awesome Card John! Congrats on it!

John, it actually is not the same card that sold in REA, but it was obviously from the same find - same wear in the upper left and same initials on the back. The most obvious distinction is the tiny chip on the upper border of yours, and I am pretty sure that the REA example had a crease in the bottom right.

Great, great card.

Kevin,

I stand corrected. Wow - very similar cards indeed. How you been doin?

Here's my high-five too, John--terrific card!

Best regards,

Larry

Wow, they had to draw his shoulders 3x wider than normal to fit "Philadelphia" across his chest. :eek:

John - what happened?

Easy come, easy go....

Car, Braces, 2nd senior year tuition :eek:, T9 set. I get in way too deep to quickly. Well, I've owned it and now, after renting it for a while, it's history.

I feel the same way as you sometimes John!! I had my dream card (A 1951 Bowman Mantle rookie)...owned it a grand total of 48 hours before I flipped it for $800 profit. I am such a card w**re!! Technically, aren't we all just "renting" these things anyway?? Not like any of us are going to be buried with these things......or are we?????

John

Beutiful card

Looks like ~2800 bath for a 4 month rental. Can't say I haven't taken my own beatings when selling cards recently, however.

The N142 Delehanty is back again in the latest Mile High Auction: Link

guess he decided to rent it a bit longer

Makes it hard to figure out what the true market is for this card; other then it being less than whatever it sold for last time.

It's such a great card too, strange.

This card is paralleling my mutual funds :(
The way it is dropping each respective auction, it's in my ballpark now.:p
I agree Jeff, it IS a great card....

thin market
 

Very wild swings happen more frequently in thinly traded series. Unfortunately when I quit collecting I will definitely take a bath on some things I paid a ton for. I paid up due to their rarity but the other side of the equation (the demand side) I will argue, is far more important in determining value. Fortunately I have also acquired a few very high demand items too. They should almost make up for my losses when the time comes :). regards

John - Congrats on the Delahanty! Beautiful card.

Bob-I know one sold in Goodwin for just under $10K earlier this year. What sales have taken place since then?
