What's NOT in REA ...and WHERE is IT?!

[T206Collector]

I may be in the super minority here, but after a pretty decent showing of autographed T206 cards in REA a couple of years ago, I was hoping for a couple of examples. I know there are dozens of signed T206 cards in the hobby and in personal collections that have rarely, if ever, exchanged hands with collectors at sale or auction. When will those show up in REA or one of the other auction houses? Who knows. But I guess I'll have to keep my fingers crossed for another year.

Anyone else "disappointed" not to find what they were looking for in an otherwise abundant auction?

i was thinking the same thing since seeing the REA offerings! where are the coupons...esp type I's...where are the e94's...

Fortunately there is nothing in Heritage or REA that I need or want for my personal collection. I am bidding otherwise but won't go deep and wide....I only do that on stuff I "need".

Fortunately in the sense that I can save my money, too.... but still.... still waiting to have a chance at stuff I know is out there but hasn't come to market yet.

Ya, I am in the familiar position of getting swept up and considering high bids on cards relatively down the priority list. You know you're messed up when you are secretly hoping you don't win.

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, well you might find
You get what you need


Rob's is the best auction in the hobby, but no auction has everything

Where are the Tattoo Orbit's? Signed 1930s cards? Or Esskays/Briggs?

Dang you, Rob!

Know exactly what you are talking about there Peter. Still waiting to be outbid on a couple of items. C'mon guys, what are you waiting for

Ditto. As far as "where are the E94s?" I have said for quite a while that these cards are completely drying up. It's one of those sets that instead of collectors wanting one card for a "type," they get enamored by their beauty and entranced by their scarcity and the fact it is a relatively small set and go for a "set" as opposed to a "type."

There are definately some Coupons (type 2). Lot #457 is mostly high grade Hall of Famers including Cobb, Mathewson, Lajoie, Collins, & Speaker. Trust me when I say that this is the finest grouping of T213's you will ever lay eyes on (85% of this collection is either the highest graded known or right at the top). I consigned this grouping after 10+ years of trying to find ultra high end T213's (not a very easy task considering the issue). Sorry....but my type 1's aren't going anywhere yet.
