Hunt Auction winners
 

If you won (or know who won!) Hunt Auction lot 146: 1923 W572 near complete set, please contact me.

I'll make a good offer for one card in that lot.

Cheers,
Patrick

Hunt's
 

Had fun bidding this morning. Missed the photo portion as I had to get back to work. Added some more Coupons. Really prefer their traditional auction format.


If anyone is splitting up the Highlander's grab-bag lot 110, I would buy the d303 Donovan from you...Rob

Happy to grab this.

Scott that has tremendous eye appeal!
Is it backless or something?
Nice card!

Patrick, good luck on contacting and potentially completing a deal on the W572!

Thanks Brian! Description says mounting residue on the back. As we know Hunt inexplicably doesn't provide back scans and I didn't even ask for one. I loved the front too much!

You got that card for an absolute steal. I swear that's a $3500-$4000 card...

Brendan if I'm being honest I was elated at the price. I had a ceiling bid in for a fair amount more. I was really surprised when it opened at my pre-live bidding ceiling and got zero on-line action. Auction fatigue perhaps?

Beautiful card Scott! You got a great deal.

Did anyone here grab the Matty Jones Keyser Arras Cabinet that was removed from the mount? I took it to $3000 but couldn't justify more. Hunt said they sent it to PSA. Pity that the "experts" there didn't realize what it was!!

SGC would have slabbed it as a JKA mount removed. Bet they sent it to Henry at PSA for photo type identification, which yes can not be identified as a type one.

I did OK and was able to get the one item I was really after in this auction.

The one thing I really don't like are the bid increments. Once an item hit $500, it went in $100 increments, which is a 20% leap. Same when it hit $1,000, the increments were $200. It made it so you could be a bit strategic about when to place the bid, knowing the next one would be a big jump. Most other auctions use a 10% bid increment, if not smaller.

Smaller increments may have solicited more bids in many cases - REA used to have a similar philosophy, but moved to smaller increments which I personally feel is much better.

I pre-bidded on that Cobb- green 1. Didn't get home early to live bid on it...Dang it!
Kinda curious myself to the reverese too!!! I wished i went more on it early on.
I logged in when the photos were ongoing.....as saw the 1921 Ruth photo PSA type I go for ton $$$$.

Fun format
 

I just missed the T 206 Pirate lot and the 52 Bartirome (would have gone 1/2 an increment hire, but not a full one). I won the 33 Goudey Pirate lot - really pleased with the price. I was intending to bid on that Ruth photo - til it opened at over 30K!! and closed at 37 - WOW!! Great photo. Great price.

I was happy to pick these two up.

Is there a way to figure out what you won? I can’t seem to find such a link on their circa 1987-era website.

I thought this trio was pretty cool for $700. Will go with my Gehrig. Coveleski spelled wrong to boot.

I got my invoice via email today. But I called before I got it to find out.

I actually found the Hunt invoice on the Invaluable website. Makes sense.

Anyone here win the King Kelly cabinet??

I think you need to re-install Windows 95 to see your invoice.

Bernhardt photo
 

I won the Conlon Walter Bernhardt photo. He played one game for the Yankees on 7/16/1918. I expect Conlon showed up that day and this may be only photo of Bernhardt as a Yankee. A biggie, at least for me!

If you won the auction lots of 1919 W514's and are looking to split them up I would be interested in several of them. Feel free to contact me at pitburgfan@gmail.com. Jeff
