I had 4 consignments in the Auction and the 2 low end items met expectations but my other 2 items fell far short. Fisrt was a group of Harpers woodcuts. 5 woodcuts including the 1874 Boston team. Last LOTG Auction an 1874 Boston team woodcut sold for about what my 5 woodcuts sold for. Second was a S81 silk of Alexander a very scarce item of a popular Hall of famer. Sold for less than half of what a Lajoie sold for in the last REA.
Was it LOTG or the current economic situation? AL had sent out a message to consignors asking if Auction should have been postponed I responded with yes it should be delayed until Baseball gets back on track but I guess I was in the minority. I did win a couple of lots that I also felt were below recent sales. I think I would consign to LOTG again but I will wait until things stabilize just a bit.
