Posted By: <b>T206Collector</b><p>In an effort to consolidate the current Mastro/REA threads, which are filled with gripes about Mastro's inefficient bidding system, I thought we should have a thread just for posting your pickups. Plus, this gives me another chance to show off my Plank -- and Steve another chance to show off his Weaver!<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c322/T206Collector/T206%20Collection/EddiePlankSGC10.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>

Posted By: <b>E, Daniel</b><p>Aargh Jeff,<br /><br />I knew it was you who grabbed the orange borders! I had been sitting with $2496 (or so) bid for so long, I actually thought I might get it <img src="/images/sad.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br /><br />Good for you, I thought it was a steal.<br /><br /><br />Daniel<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Sorry, Daniel. I was the underbidder on the Plows Cobb...was about to pull the trigger to get it...literally about to press the button...and I just wasn't feeling it for some reason. And I made a decision a few months back to change my collection around...get rid of the stuff that didn't totally excite me...and while the Plows Cobb excited me...it didn't excite me enough...so I grabbed the Orange borders. REA for today will be interesting as well.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Quan, I almost bit on that one as well - and then started thinking about my E102 and E101 Cobbs with the same front. Believe me, there was a time when I first received the catalog that I strongly thought about grabbing the E92 and T216 Cobbs...

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>Nice pickups everybody. I came in 2nd place for the Speaker Novelty Cutlery & Johnson PC796. I have some serious bidders remorse for not trying harder to win, but I was at work & got a little side tracked. The PC796 is especially bugging me today.

Posted By: <b>Lyle</b><p>for the kind words and thanks to you Jeff for laying off the Croft's Cobb . The Orange Border Cobb was on my list as well but I could only get one...I think you got an excellent price on it . Does anyone know who won the Kotton Cobb ?

Posted By: <b>Lyle</b><p>The E107 Plank looks very nice for an sgc 30... is the back the reason for the grade ?

Posted By: <b>David Barkus</b><p>I picked up a little of everything.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h186/Barkusd/Speaker.jpg"><br /><br /><br />I liked the Speaker because I thought it was great value for the money. I hope to assemble a top 200 sportscard set, although I doubt that I will ever buy the Wagner.<br /><br /><img src="http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h186/Barkusd/T201.jpg"><br /><br />I picked up this T201 because I think the set is undervalued, especially the high grade examples.<br /><br /><img src="http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h186/Barkusd/CarmeloDeportivo.jpg"><br /><br />I bought this set for a client who is building a HOF set and needs the Negro League HOFs. I haven't seen to many of these and was very pleased with the pickup.<br /><br /><img src="http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h186/Barkusd/PeeWeeReese.jpg"><br /><br />This card fits into my Top 200 Sportscard Set and I think the price was great. It is one of my favorite images of all time.<br /><br /><img src="http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h186/Barkusd/Stargell.jpg"><br /><br />This is a high grade rookie card of one of my all time favorite HOFs. I couldn't pass it up.<br /><br />All in all I was pleased, although I would have liked to pick up a few of the rare individual Negro League cards. <br /><br /><img src="http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h186/Barkusd/1916Faber.jpg"><br /><br />I forgot to add this Faber. I thought the price was good for a high grade example.

Posted By: <b>Cobby33</b><p>Hey David-<br />Is there a new "Top 200" list, or do you have your own?

Posted By: <b>David Barkus</b><p>I was referring to the old one. The Speaker and Reese are both on it.

Posted By: <b>Andrew</b><p>I like that E107 Joss, especially for the price. So many nice cards...the Rose doesn't seem to go out of style.<br><br>"Take your life in your own hands and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame." -- Erica Jong

Posted By: <b>ScottIngold</b><p>Well i won this Cobb and some unopened 70's stuff. Sometimes you cant beat opening packs from your childhood. Rainy day stuff.<br />Al,<br />Nice pickup on the Mantle. I was the underbidder. Would have gone higher but was at a party. Great price for a nice example i thought.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1177837168.JPG"> <br />

Posted By: <b>Kevin Cummings</b><p>No direct pickups unfortunately, but I'm hoping for some second-hand pickups. <br /><br />If a board member is the winner of Lot 29 [Extraordinary Collection 1886-1889 N172 Old Judge Tobacco Cards (403 cards)] in the REA auction, I am interested in several cards.

Posted By: <b>Bruce MacPherson</b><p>I had quite the productive weekend acquiring the e90-3 Evers, Gandil and Walsh from the Mastro lot as well as the Lajoie and Chance from Bob's e94 REA cabal. My only regret is not going a bit higher for the Old Put Wagner. I think that was a good deal and congrats to whoever won it. I did manage to knock this guy off my want list.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1177846621.JPG">

Mastronet & REA Pickups
 

Posted By: <b>David Barkus</b><p>I definitely splurged a bit:<br /><br /><img src="http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h186/Barkusd/Cobb-1.jpg"><br />I have wanted this Cobb ever since I was a child playing with the reprint sets. I can't believe I was able to buy one in high grade. <br /><br /><img src="http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h186/Barkusd/Matty.jpg"><br />The Mathewson is impossible to find in high grade, but I think this one has great eye appeal and for more than $2,500 less than the 30 that went in the Mastro auction I couldn't pass it up.<br /><br /><img src="http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h186/Barkusd/Proofs.jpg"><br />I picked up this lot of Colgan's Chip proof cards because I have never owned proofs and I really like thc concept. I bid aggressively on the Cobb proof in Mastro, but it seemed liked the high bidder wasn't going to be denied on that one.<br /><br /><img src="http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h186/Barkusd/Elway.jpg"><br />Another addition to my top 200 sportscard set.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Scott, that's about as nice of a PSA 2 Cobb 227 you could ever hope to get.<br /><br />Joe, I'll be circling around you on that Chase....<br /><br />David, that Cobb is spectacular. Who's that dork on the bottom of your post, however?

Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>I agree... that Matty has tremendous eye appeal for the grade.<br /><br />Great pickup!<br /><br /><br />And the Colgans Proofs are very cool. <br />I almost picked up a nice one on eBay... but someone who shall remain nameless swooped in and took it. Thats alright though... I got him back... I took the last dinner roll at a get together <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>
