REA Pickups
 

Ok, who got what?

I continued my obsession with the T-209 First series by nabbing the follwoing:

Booles (don't call me Red)
Cooper
Fullenwider
Gilmore
Lane
Martin
Sisson

I bid on several but didn't win any T206 cards. I was surprised to see the very well centered Brown portrait PSA 3 went for $2,220 w/BP.

The 14CJ's were strong too.

Picked up a few n300s that put me a little over half way to completing the set

That is great man! Congrats.

I picked up several low-grade caramel cards for sets I'm working on, notably an E92 Matty and E93 Lajoie.

I feel that prices were strong, especially on prewar cards.

i picked up the catalog

Two and 3/4 great cards for me ;-) (plus a few). Great auction.

REA Auction
 

Watched a lot, bid a few, snagged one for my T200 set.

Bid on many, many T205s but didn't win any. Was surprised that there were PSA 5 commons, not even short prints, going for 300-500+ while some key HOFers went for relatively unimpressive prices. Danny Hoffman beat out Chief Bender and Frank Chance? Even the WaJo and Addie Joss went pretty low compared to recent auctions.

Won a trio of Turkey Reds, bid on a ton more, still a solid strong market on T3/T9's

+1. Very nice auction and very solid results.

Great Delahanty Mac!

Jay, which T3s did you get?

I went for the collar in REA:( Trent King

Really wanted to win the E101 mathewson

Big number on that one.

No wins for me, but I'm glad others picked up some good stuff. I really wanted a couple of the N300s, but it was not to be.

I won the mislabeled Tenney variation. Even with the writing the NY and Boston is very desirable. Not only was the card mislabeled as "NY" it also reads checklist back, when it is an ad back!

Nice Job Mac...clearly your pockets are deeper than mine as I was out of the race by Sunday afternoon....nice card! JT

Outbid me on several of those.

Ryan, John McGraw, McIntyre & Pfiester

Here's the Pfiester

I won seven T205 PSA 5 commons, but was THOROUGHLY thrashed on MANY others...

Lots of 1914 Cracker Jacks. Man those were pricey.

Congrats Jay. I was eyeing a few T3's as upgrades, but the prices were very strong, so did not pick up any. But I was happy to see that T3's are holding their value (or even increasing somewhat!).

I picked up five E101's to continue my work on that set, think I'm up to 33 now. There's been a noticeable uptick in available E101's the last few months, so I've really started to make some headway in something that I thought would take years. Sadly, the Mathewson went into the stratosphere, which was not too surprising since it looked great, but I was a little bummed to miss out on the E101 Lajoie as a Nap & E101 collector. Someone just really wanted that card more than I did. Or had deeper pockets than I did. Or both. No worries though, the joy is in the hunt.

Congrats on the Keeler T204. I was going after that one myself.

I picked up a tough Cobb, a bit beat up, but it’s a beauty in my eyes

Struck out on most but still snagged the E94 Crawford. Nice pose.

T206 prices in this auction overall were actually flattish compared to eBay prices from July and August. And that includes the buyer's premium. So I guess it depends on your baseline. I was pretty underwhelmed with the final bids. I say that as someone who still has a nontrivial T206 collection and would like to see prices continue to rise.

Nice pick up John, great color on that one and a good price too.

T206 commons below grade 5 are definitely slowing, too many available every month.

The T204 prices were strong, especially given the fact that most were lower grade. Most of the few mid grade examples, did very well, many 1's-2's were nearly double their recent prices.

Well done, David!

Let me know if you want me to send you my N172 common want list to help you climb to the top of the N300 pinnacle! :D

Nice pickups everybody...like that E102 Cobb pose...Jerry

sorry about that, set is a bit of an obsession for me...and I don't know why.

LOVE the E94 Crawford. Thought the price was really strong, given that there has been that SGC 1.5 sitting on eBay for $599 for a year. But the one from this REA auction is much nicer. Congrats John!

Nice Jay, congrats. What did you think about the price on the PSA 3 Hoblitzell? I needed that as an upgrade but ended up passing.

I won the T207s of Russ Blackburne, Charles Herzog and Owen Wilson; to get me within 41 cards of set completion.

It was my first REA win, I believe, since the 1990s (not that I haven't been trying)!

Steve

I bid on it too!
But passed many bids ago, nice looking "3" w/ ad back, but at $900 it seemed steep.
At least the winning bidder won't need #97 next time, so perhaps it will be more affordable :)

E98 upgrade. Underbidder on a few 14CJ's. On to Heritage...

I really wanted this one but had to bow out. Great pickup.

I can’t wait for REA’s big auction stating Friday! I’m expected great stuff as always.

Outbid on everything
 

except for the Coupon of Bradley.

Agreed. Most of the T206’s I had bid on and on my watch list have trended down a bit, but there were a few that ended stronger than I thought.

I got a few of the tough T205s i need for a master set, notably the Dolly Gray Stats on Back. Actually has only 56 graded by PSA, behind the rare Matty and the Hoblitzell only. Paid for it. I also upgraded the T9 Wolgast (boxers went pretty strong). To me, you need those to have a complete set, they are in the checklist after all. They are really beautiful, cool cards anyway.

I also got a few other psa 4 T205s that were quite tough, A Leifeld and the Wilhelm. Nice cards, only about 100 psa graded. A bit more than i wanted to pay. Let a bunch of others go. But it was a nice selection, not sure when we will see all of those again soon in nice shape.

Thought the t213-2s went pretty cheap but i didn’t have energy to focus soon enough.

Nice auction
 

This REA special auction set break was fun.
I prefer lower grades/decent eye appeal.
This has plenty of that!

I had a long bid list that kept getting shorter last night as the text messages piled up. Out Bid.

I chased a few of the T3 and only ended up with Fromme.
I actually thought they would approach 250 for commons and they seemed to settle around 200. Some conditions were obviously going on either side of that number.

The 14 CJ were strong! I was outbid on my marker bids and when I went back in to get more serious in the extra session, it was already too late!
I liked Blair. Congratulations to that high bidder.

I can say I bid on the T205 Hobby No Stats!
I was outbid …LOL.
I could finish my Kraken set easier than I could finish the EGGS Master set.

More of these auctions are encouraged!

I think commons means different things to different people. Back in the day, a common was typically characterized as anyone other than a hof’er or star player. In memorabilia and cards, I define it as more frequently seen or more abundant. I picked up the Hoffman. It is the yellow second base with the yellow streak line in the background variant. It is quite rare. Not a “common” Hof’er 😂 It also has very good registration which I really loved(makes up for less than perfect corners and centering.
In the world of t205- I think we are seeing a definitive shift- overall low pop issues/rare variants/backs ruling the roost.

+1

First time I've been shut out on REA...they had some really great cards for my collection too! I placed bids on over 300 cards and even stayed up past midnight placing bids on a couple...

I won the T205 Griffith, putting me one card away from completing my T205 HOF set.

Was outbid on the T205 Dahlen, the T205 Chase one ear, and the T205 Jimmy Collins.

Surprised to see how high the T205 Ed Walsh finished. I expected him to end between 1,000 and 1,200 but he ended up selling for $2,000. For a card I thought was generally under appreciated I guess people are catching up to its rarity and desirability on par with the T205 Joss.

Was happy to pick this up for my Memphis collection!

Amazing pick up just a gorgeous card, I heard this card is rarer than the Hoblitzell no stats, is that true? Would anyone know?
