Always appreciate the reminders Leon. With so many auctions going on, I lose focus from time to time....

so when will the auction REALLY end?

Should I plan to just put in my best bid tomorrow morning when I wake up? There should definitely be a hard close at some point...don't you think? Perhaps 2am EST or something?

T206 rare backs are going nuts!

I'm watching one in particular, going through the roof. A few people must be trying to complete a back run.

Another strong rareback auction.

Jake, that one has me puzzled.

A Bill Nattress witha Drum back in an AUTH holder for $6400...has the whole world gone mad?

Barry.....
 

I think thats the one that Mike was talking about.....I bet the same senario as the RH's;).....I was watching it also,


but what I was really watching was the T206 MULTI-STRIKE.......I stayed away because I knew I couldn't afford that, and a friend might have wanted that one anyway.....THAT went cheap inmho @ $6500.00.....I truly think that was a 10K card or soon will be;)

BIG CONGRATS TO ALL who won....especially PLANK SCRAP and MULTI STRIKE WINNERS , PLEASE POST !!

You guys got some SUPER RARE cards:D

Insane prices- Drum, Evers Hindu, Multi-Strike, some of those BL 350's and HOF CB's...the list goes on and on. Some serious competition. I jumped off of all of those a long time ago. Congrats to the winners.

I wanted that Cobb e102 so bad, but it hit my max bid around midnight. Of course it didn't go any higher, but I'm going to wonder all day long if I should have hit it one more time.

The highest price ever paid (I am aware of) for a T206 misprint error, multi-strike doesn't seem so high anymore.... :) Congrats to all of the consignors and winners!!

Leon, it sure doesn't. ;)

Yes, seems it has. A red Cobb portrait (Auth) with Drum back, in very presentable shape, sold on ebay last year for under 10K.

Exactly Dave, a board member owns that bad boy. Smart pickup.

The price on the multi strike last night was only $2154 off of the highest ever. Great card last night.....Congrats to the winner.

Am I missing something with the Jim Thorpe M101-5 card in the auction? The same card sold for $44K in 2008, now sells for $13K? Either figure is way, way out of my budget. But living 45 minutes from Jim Thorpe, Pa., and 90 minutes from Carlisle, Pa., I always take an interest in Thorpe cards. That seems like a tremendous price drop, considering that many other premium items seemed to bring strong prices.

Here's another instance where the same card sold for less than last night's finish:

I saw the 2008 REA auction price you quoted, and I don't know how to explain that one. As someone who is actively seeking a nice example of this card - I was turned off by the centering. With that said, it's a great Thorpe card - no matter how you look at it.

If I were looking for one I too would wait for one that is centered a bit better. Still a really great card last night though. As for pricing, there have been several whales that left the hobby in the last 5-10 yrs. Some of those guys would buy a card regardless of price. That is probably what happened with the 44k price. I can show countless examples of other cards that went for a gazillion dollars only to come back down to normal type pricing (if there is such a thing).

Thanks for the additional link. You're right; the Thorpe M101-5 card is a great card, as is the Exhibit card in your avatar.

As always, I am biased but since we are discussing Thorpe cards....my favorite is this one..(pardon the others)

I got the Plank e90 SGC 50, great centering, card I've long wanted...purple, baby.

Since I have a t206 Evers Hindu at PSA 4 it was nice to see the PSA 5 set the market for now at $10,100!

...some interesting grades on some of those N172s. An SGC40 with scrapbook paper attached? An SGC 50 with glue stains? A PSA 5mk with photo loss on the front? I do believe the grade should account more for the photo quality, but I also would like to see a level playing field and it seems like every other old judge it graded technically...

Does anyone remember the Goodwin Auction about 4-5 years ago where some whales were going after cards from a D304 set? Examples like Cy Young in a PSA 5 were selling in the 45K range. Today, maybe 3-4K would be a reasonable price. You have to be careful assessing prices when those prices are multiples of any other previous record.

My first foray into 19th c. HOFers...this could be dangerous...

t206 Tinker Old Mill
 

I won the Joe Tinker Old Mill. I usually win the card/s on my bidding card that no one else wants.

I had my finger on the mouse at last night around 1am... Decided not to bid. You got a nice price on that one! :)

Beautiful McCarthy! Now you are hooked. Compared to T206s, Old Judges are a bargain.

Thanks for the nice words, fellas (and thanks to Matthew for not pushing me up!)

For some reason this card "spoke" to me...and it said "Bid!"...lol :D.

Cheers,
Blair

Nice pickup.

I was watching this card as well. That pose has to have a story behind it.:)

It is a slippery slope! Trust me. Great start!

What Jim said. Congrats.
