I want to see a preview! I saw a facebook post and some of the cards i saw were pretty amazing! Looking forward to seeing them! Anyone else? The suspense is killing me

ValKehl · #2 04-09-2018, 04:07 PM

Eric, those of us who attended the Chantilly Show this past weekend got to see some of the eye candy in REA's showcases. NICE!

276 views so far, 275 of which were assuming this was a link to the live auction.

Like shouting fire in a crowded cinema...

Like the boy who called wolf...

ruth-gehrig · #4 04-09-2018, 06:00 PM

Card collectors are going to drool all over

That's absolutely true. Please spread the word as quickly and widely as possible.

Well then I'll post a list of the cards I'm interested in so nobody bids. I have a lot of demons already so a few more won't matter.

MR RAREBACK · #11 04-12-2018, 09:14 PM

Sterling Sports Auctions · #12 04-12-2018, 09:16 PM

You and many others.
Looks a little like this...
1) is it up yet? Is it up yet?
2)Oh crap, it’s up.
3)frantically place 125 bids
4)within 10 minutes after placing 125 bids, receive 124 outbid notices
5)feel preemptive buyers remorse for the one bid that is holding
6)wait for next fall for next auction
7)tell everyone that nothing they had fit what you were looking for.

What’s the legal limit for page refreshes in one day?

vintagerookies51 · #24 04-13-2018, 07:59 AM

That would be me, found it last Friday but was taken down quickly. I haven't seen the backdoor link put back up since. I remember I found the link early last fall as well. Oh well, it will be up soon enough.

Leon · #28 04-13-2018, 08:58 AM

I just got a banner update request. It'll open soon! ..My guess is around 12pm EST....

Sean · #29 04-13-2018, 09:33 AM

Not open yet.

I used the 2nd "BROWSE" drop down on the left where you can search past auctions. For me, it's right on top.

ullmandds · #36 04-13-2018, 10:18 AM

i appreciate you trying to help...i guess i'll have to wait.

x2drich2000 · #37 04-13-2018, 10:24 AM

Pete, go into the auction from last year. On the left hand side, Below the search function is Browse. Under that they have where you can search by "All Auctions" or each individual auction they have had for the last 15 years. Just choose "REA Spring 2018" and hit "Go!" on the search.

iowadoc77 · #38 04-13-2018, 10:43 AM

probably placed 40 bids as place holders. By tomorrow, I am fully confident that i will be high bidder on no more than 2. What an incredible auction!

pawpawdiv9 · #39 04-13-2018, 10:48 AM

FLOOR DROPPING!!!!
I wish I had a boat load of $$$$$$.
Just went thru the whole thing, only place bids on 2 lots, but definitely would done 40+.
I was outbid on an item, before I clicked submit bid. LOL!!!!

scooter729 · #40 04-13-2018, 11:21 AM

I appreciate the smaller bid increments as well - bids over $500 used to jump by $100, but now just go by $50. I've asked for this before - there were times on smaller lots where I would've gone up by another $50 but not $100, so this is a welcome thing!

OK, back to drooling and gawking at the auction!!

PiratesWS1979 · #41 04-13-2018, 11:28 AM

I really wish they had a bulk bid/delete like Heritage.

I was with you up to #5!! Up to almost 3k views!! I thought it was a link or commentary on lots that had been reviewed. Fasten your seat belts, I get the feeling this is going to be some auction! Now where was that winning lottery ticket...........

I placed bids on 27 items. I have been outbid on 2 so far - top bidder on 25 worth $19,400. If I win all 25, I have some 'splainin to do to Mrs. Ailes - but if I do win the 25, I will get some great deals!!

Between 0 and I bid will hold up, most likely the former.

Whoever I am tangling with on the Mick Dice and a few other lots will get a reprieve until this evening— gotta finally get to work.

pgconboy · #47 04-13-2018, 01:12 PM

So many amazing cards for auction, most are far beyond my range due to condition. This is the first one I've signed up for. Keeping an eye out to pick up an old Cobb, Cy, Collins, WJ, Speaker or Wagner.

Jewish-collector · #48 04-13-2018, 01:23 PM

The REA auction is exactly what Tom Cruise would say, "Sometimes you gotta say WTF and go for it"

Well,

While there is A LOT in the auction - there is also A LOT missing (most notably Kahn's Sets, and some Topps test issues) from their blog post - a little disappointing to have to wait for that stuff! That said, I lost count of the bids I placed.For sure the most initial bids I've placed in any auction so far.

Matty - I suspect that Mantle dice is going to go crazy!! I know a couple of big time collectors with very deep pockets that will likely be going after it. Placed a bid on it just for kicks

Good luck to all!

Peter_Spaeth · #50 04-13-2018, 01:36 PM

I almost never win anything in REA. And I bid strong. I do much better in Heritage.
