Everything I looked at sold for at or above what I thought it would. I would have guessed the T214 lot would have gone for around 1800 and it went for 3000 etc..

I thought that prices were low, especially on the T205's, high grade OJ's and some of the rare back t206's. The price on the Delahanty was impressive.

Many collectors believe those cards to be trimmed.

Harris collection cards have a tendency of being undernourished... If you know what I mean!

I have several Harris cards in my T206 collection that I feel good about, but there are also several that I have seen over the years that I don't....

Mid grade Goudey Ruths seemed very strong, but they always are in REA.

Can't comment on T205s since I have no interest in them (and I'm too cynical to buy "'super-high-grade" T205s anyways...)

I thought the OJs weren't too high, but I agree the Delehanty fetched a fine price. I thought the Rusie was a deal, but could not justify going for it since I bought an OJ Rusie in the last year.

I was bidding on 13 various lots, including OJs, caramel cards, bread cards, autographed items, and display/art pieces. I ran out of room on 11 of those lots, which by my reckoning went at or above recent market value.

From my perspective, a lot of the display/art pieces went for low prices. Like the Pirates piece Greg showed in the REA Pickups thread. And Lot 841 (the ex-Halper Chicago PL composite) went cheap I thought...half the price it got back in 1999???

I even got in on the act myself, snagging the Varin aquatint for less than half the price of prior sales:

Curious what the group thinks about the prices realized on some of the T206 rare & semi-rare backs such as:

Red Hindu - Wheat
Tolstoi - Wheat
Tolstoi - Chance

I was interested in all of these, bidding was basically over by 10:00 on these. I was looking at past REA auctions 2012 & 2011, seems prices on these may be down a tad or stagnant over the past few years? As someone starting a back run, interested in what you all think.

Also, just thought it interesting that the restored Plank went for roughly $16,000; an authentic (trimmed I think) went for $41,000 in the 2011 auction. I personally would not be interested in a restored card, but very interested in a restored mid-year vette.

I thought the t205s sold low...I was watching the low pop variations and thought the chance, wallace, Hoblitzell, wilhelm sold at about 80% of previous closes....

Maybe the T205s sold a bit lower than usual because they weren't sold in a Legendary or Mastro auction -- and the consignor, who has the best set, wasn't bidding for them.

The T205 went lower because there are not enough T205 High-Grade collectors to absorb that many offerings all at once. Similar to what happened to all the e107 offered at once earlier in the year.

Cobb check at $700 (about $831 w/juice) and Johnson check at $1100 (about $1300) were not strong when compared to other auctions in the past couple years.

The OJs were a mixed bag. The larger lots were actually reasonable when you look at the price per card average. The Delahanty was strong.

Fred, I thought the 2 big OJ lots went for fairly good deals, but I have a defeatist attitude about going after those. I think REA would do better to break those up into smaller groups or single lots. I was under bidder on the N173 Sommers and Seward that went fair at 1300, that was as close as I got to winning anything. I would have bid more on several card issues had REA broken down the lots, as I am not a dealer.

My comments meant that I thought the lots were good deals because of the price per card average for both lots was reasonable. I'm a 19th century junky so I really like large lots like those. Good possibility that who ever won the large lots could piece the cards out and do fairly well in breaking up the lots.

All I can say is that in the past, Bidder A outbids me on giant lot, offers me some of the cards I wanted from the lot, I pay, and receive the cards from bidder A before I receive other lots from the same auction house.
