goodwin results
 

Some astronomical results last night. that WWG gehrig is the nicest i've ever seen. a bargain compared to other high grade 50's rookies imo.

I agree
 

always loved that gehrig and do feel it is underpriced. For the record I do own one so it may be why i am a little biased towards the card.

t213-3s
 

Picked up a few...

52 Mantle went cheap at 133K.

if given the option...i'd prefer to own the jax rookie, the boston garter, the t215, the wwg gehrig and the lesser condition mantle rookie and maybe a used prius!

but then again I'm just an armpit collector who cares about fuel efficiency.

Cmon, it was CENTERED. :eek:

54 Topps Aaron PSA 7 went for over $6,000..you could get these cards in the $2000-$300s early in the year..

very happy and surprised to get this rarity at good price...Great looking and even centered....

There were some great Tinker, Evers and Chance cards in this auction, from rare to high grade. The Evers 1914 CJ was the nicest I think I've seen.

Yes, that Evers CJ went super-high--for an SGC....So looks and centering does matter, I guess....

The t206 Hindu SLs went very high, including a PSA 6 Breitenstein that went for 4000....

I almost got an Evers red Colgan's, which went for a good price. There was a Felix Mendelsohn PSA 4 Doak that I also almost got, also a good price...a PSA 5 Hoffman, Novelty Cutlery, was a big bargain and I should have grabbed.... Glad to see sky-high price for a Rose Co. postcard HOFer since I also have one....

So mix of good prices and very high...

Not to hijack this thread to OTsville, but as I was watching the countdown clock on some of the lots, I realized that since that Geico commercial, the intro to the song "The Final Countdown" has lived rent-free in my head. Am I the only one who has been so strickened?

Sadly, no

Not even close.
 

My kids sing it as the microwave ticks down. Can't get it out of my head either!

Beauties Rob!

Looks like the 52 Mays is getting a nice bump as well.

$4400 is a very strong price for a slightly off centered 6.

its more than the PWCC psa 6 got a few months ago which I consigned....

Tip Top upgrade

My First M101-4 Sporting News
 

Excited here with my first M101-4 Sporting News. I put in one more bid increment before calling it quits for the night, and sure enough, either someone tried to steal it late into extended bidding, or it was shilled up to my maximum bid. :D

Greg, I had three cards on top of my list for this auction, yours and the two T216s. Then Dave posted two Oakland Oaks cards in the BST, which ate my budget for the month. I didn't get any of the three in Goodwin, but I did get a good nights sleep. Congrat's on a great card!

Some of the prices Goodwin&Co attained last night were INSANE!!!!! Have they replaced PWCC as the consignor of choice now??

Red Cobb
 

Paid a little more than I wanted but the card looks so much better than the grade given...

That is a beauty!

Back damage on that Cobb? WTF?

+1 The front looks to be NM.

The back has small spots of paper loss which doesn't bother me at all. Pretty happy with the purchase. Can't wait to get it in hand.

That's a really nice Evers, Greg. Congrats.

Cheers,
Steve

goodwin has been commanding insane prices long before PWCC/Probstein were even born.

Perhaps the greatest premium over market price ever percentage wise. I believe it was a $150 card or so.

But lightning did not strike twice.

Hard to imagine that being beat. And the card wasn't even centered. 30 times market value is pretty impressive.

You need TWO bidders to drive a price up. Remember that. :eek:

Two drunk rich bidders for a result like that. :rolleyes:

Certainly an unusual result, whatever the explanation.

Good win.

Yea I'm sure it's an interesting story. One I'd love to hear.

Maybe Bill has started putting a certified high end sticker on select lots.

I just got through perusing the Goodwin auction results, interesting as always, and was surprised at the somewhat flat prices achieved for the Cracker Jack lots, in particular the '14 Frank Chance. I have always, like so many, loved CJ cards; the color, smell, feel and, of course, the wonderful player images. The Chance, in my opinion, is one of the iconic cards in the whole set most probably due to the fact he only appeared in the '14 set, being replaced in '15 by Hal Chase. This important fact was not even mentioned in Goodwin's description, which I felt was a shocking omission. I believe, but am not sure, he was the only HOF'er dropped for the '15 set. His solid PSA 5 card #54 only fetched $2963. I wonder if this is a price trend starting to emerge for these popular cards?

As the purchaser, I am rather hoping that it was a good deal that just slipped through the cracks because folks had spent all their money at Heritage. (:

On the other hand, record price for the Evers NM, and that's for an SGC, no less. Prices on CJ all over the map in recent auctions, not plunging but no longer the go-go era....

I disagree with one word in your supposition..."rich."

Hi, my name is Kevin and I am a BWI addict. :D

BWI is that Bidding While Intoxicated?

Re: goodwin results
 

I see far more disappointing results than the other way around.

We must be looking at different cards then. I see TONS of ecstatic consignors with only a few disappointments.

I'm looking only at the prewar cards.

I wonder what was the story on the $5000 purchase..

It is...and I have the cards to prove it! :D

He was the only HOFer dropped as the other 3 player were Callahan, Cashion and Lord.

I think the Chance went low, but I don't think 1915 prices are dropping. The 1914 CJ are all about set collectors and when 3-or 4 emerge at the same time, you get what we got in 2014 w/ prices calming down again recently. 1915s keep rising, look at the recent prices in auction on the Jacksons alone in the past few months. 1915s will always be the poor mans 1914s, but 1915s can attract many more collectors b/c you wont pay 4-figures for names like Cady, Pratt, Shotten, etc...

Always interested in seeing lists of disappointing lots...ones that really sank, not merely met market value and so were "disappointing" to those who hoped for a killing....anyone want to post?

Here are two
