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!
