1882 Harper's woodcut
What am I missing?
Sold as part of LOTG auction last night for $990 http://loveofthegameauctions.com/Fan...-LOT15277.aspx Available on ebay currently for $27.50 https://www.ebay.com/itm/THE-PROVIDE...EAAOSwBPJasTXX I guess I know which auction house to use if I ever decide to sell my woodcut collection. Congrats : to the LOTG staff and their consignor. Forgive me : for thinking that there were at least two collectors interested in this item who needed to put a bit more effort into researching this item. You're welcome : to the under bidder who, if they read net54, is probably hitting the BIN button right now... Doug

Count me in as the “lucky one”. Not as the underbidder, but as the consignor. All of my woodcuts in the LOTG auction did AMAZING. And the prices were driven up well before the last night of the auction.
Postcard prices were extremely strong as well with most of the activity on the last day/night. But trust me when I say there were a few deals to be had too. I know one potential buyer who didn’t know the “new rules” and was shut-out on some big-ticket items because he got up at 2:30 EST and was surprised that the “auction had ended” for the items he was interested in. Oh well. Fun auction night for sure and the LOTG staff are pretty awesome too!

Congrats Derek.
The prices you got for many of the Harper's woodcuts were crazy. I got most of mine by buying full issues. I figured out pretty quickly after I started collecting them that the full issues tended to sell for way less than the individual woodcuts. If I was a dealer, I would have been buying up full issues since the advent of ebay. Doug

A lot of the difference in the ones from the original post are the difference in venue.
One was listed in a specialist auction for the subject matter, and was already nicely framed and well described. The other was listed in Ebays art section. Mass published woodcuts aren't all that exciting as art, they're a rough equivalent to a printed repro of a famous painting, but like this one without the fame. It was also poorly described. About like saying "old baseball card" without identifying the set or player. (I actually bought one described that way, a pretty beat George C Miller  )
