But I was very impressed with the auction. Finally, someone got hip to the internet and the value of real time bidding--other auctioneers should take note.

In terms of prices on the things I watch for, I'd say they were high retail. Not enough to make me dump my cards and retire, but reassuringly high vis a vis recouping my investment with a decent margin. 19th century as always blows my mind, pricewise. That lot of 4 gypsy queen and 1 sf hess boxing cards went for $690 a card including the vig, which is very healthy but not irrationally exuberant (two were great ex-mt cards, the other three were lower).
