Goodwin Auction Wins
 

Anyone do any good? I won one card, but was outbid on several.

what card did you win?

Sorry - I should have been more specific. I won the M116 Plank...

I'd been watching a PSA 7 on ebay with a BIN for $2100, so I figured I should at least take a stab at this one.

I was the under bidder on the Oxford Ruth and the t206 Matty American Beauty.

Did you reel any in, Jeff?

Is it just me or does ~$34k seem a tad much for the T206 PSA 8 Beckley?

If I were a T206 collector, I'd take this one from Legendary and a new Buick.

I was curious about that same card. I don't know a lot about the t206 set, but that seemed like an extremely strong price.

But whomever bought it is now a half point higher on the registry. If that is your game, and money is almost no object, then maybe it was a good buy!!

Nothing for me, I think that Plank belonged to a board member, nice win.

Thanks, Jeff. And you are correct - I just heard from Tony (who's card it was).

No wins for me - led on the Mendelsohn Cobb until about midnight and then got blown away - $19,000 + is a really strong price for that card.

I was in on the Pinkerton Jennings until it broke $4k, then I had to bow out. Congrats to whoever won it.

That's a really nice price, Chris. Most of the Ruths that have sold have not come close to that..........

I think I'd rather grossly overpay for a T206 than buy a Buick. ;)

I'll take offense to that :D
I love my Enclave!

Yep it seems that this set is starting to be appreciated by collectors a little more lately.

Cobb is tougher to find than Ruth (who is probably the easiest card to find in the set) but 19k is still an amazing price, and like you said more than the Ruth's get usually. Could have been a couple of Cobb collectors battling it out as well.

Were these distributed as mail-in offers, etc. similar to the W600's where it would make sense that the most popular players of the era would have many more surviving examples today than the run-of-the-mill players who might not have been requested nearly as much?

They were available for purchase from the publisher, but I am not sure if that meant you could buy all of the cards or selected ones from a checklist or something. Ruth shows up a lot (relatively speaking) but other major stars like Joe Jackson never turn up - I am not sure if I have ever seen a Jackson for sale.

Good to know, I have never seen a Jackson either, didn't even know that one existed.........

It sure is a lot of money considering that you could have gotten that same Cobb and a bunch more cards at the last REA auction for ~12K including BP: Link. I think it's fair to say that M101-6's are hot now.

Update on M-101-6 Felix Mendelsohn set
 

This is not a reply to anyone. I just registered, and wanted to post an update on the M-101-6 1917-1920 Mendelsohn set. The "Pep" Young card listed in the guide is not Ross "Pep" Young who played OF/2B for the NY Giants from 1917 to 1926; it is actually a photograph of Ralph Young, second baseman for the Detroit Tigers from 1915 to 1921. It might be his only Detroit card, but I am not sure about this. This is a great set with many of the photographs offering unique poses of the players. (i.e. the Cobb card) Sincerely, Tony McLaughlin

Joe Jax
 

Does anyone know if a Joe Jackson Mendelsohn card exists?

If so, can someone post a picture? I would love to see it.

Tony

There was a bunch of great cards in that lot... I believe it somehow flew under the radar... At least I missed it.

I'll stick with my Jeep so I can drive over your Enclave, then tow it back to your garage. :D *Just teasing*

+1

Wow, can't imagine what that would sell for.

And how did this lot go so cheaply???

I was turned off by the lot containing the f and m cobb because there were a few cards suspected of being trimmed including an e97 keeler...which I believe graded vg or ex! Total score!!!!!

After I heard what that lot sold for I told the winner that had I been there, I was at the Net54 dinner, he would have paid more. He's a good friend though so not sure if I would have bid him up....as his pocket change equals my net worth :)..

Im more interested in that smokin model for the enclave...

I thought the 1914 CJ Bresnahan no# would go a tad higher...

I picked up the T206 Elberfeld, Washington.

sorry Jeff, I picked up the oxford Ruth.....but I'd been waiting nearly 5 years for the right example to meet the coincidence of available funds :)
