Impressions of Goodwin Results

[ullmandds]

How about 1 thread to discuss the results...what did everyone think?

I think the RH T206's sold about where they should...the W600 Mack went for a tidy sum.

Some crazy SOB paid 200K for a piece of a wagner...and another nice Ruth Rookie sells for a lot of semolians!!!!!!

U will kick yourself not paying $200k for the Wagner when that Wagner can sell for $1M in 10 yrs..... (at least that's what Goodwin says)

The w600 Mack - I thought it could have went for more. I'm not that old but I haven't really seen one of those around. The other w600's went pretty high too.

I think Ruth is hot and everything else went at solid/expected prices. A good auction for Bill. It will be interesting to see what happens in Legendary now. They have some great Ruth cards and some W600s (and the amazing Dreier material) so if they also do well it may be that, like the stock market, the sportscards market is improving, albeit slowly.

I picked up the N300 Brouthers. I'm waffling between thinking I got a good deal and thinking I was one bid too high.

I won lot #215...a blue back crofts candy collins...I think I paid fair market on it!

[Mikehealer]

I like the Collins, just never got around to bidding on it. The e103 Crawford was a real beauty.

I wanted that one! But glad you got it.

The brown Lenox went lower then expected, still couldn't pull the trigger.

[ullmandds]

i agree...the Brown lenox looks like a bargain...compared to a beater magie...amongst many others!!!!

I won this for just a hair under what it sold for in REA in 2011 so can't complain.

Is it over?

No doubt, Scott. That thing seemed like it'd never end!

Nice pickup Jeff! That is a very clean looking 20.

[Bicem]

Thanks, looking forward to cracking it.

Those were among the few cards I had bids in on, and that kept me up late with my finger on the bid button...just couldn't quite do it.

Chris - did you land that Bowerman? Truly a unique card, and it actually looks like a real T206 on the front, which made it especially appealing to me.

Agreed. I thought those would go for twice what they did.

I was just thinking of the extreme rarity of brown Lenox in relation to other T206 backs that are not that tough, relatively speaking. I think all of the brown Lenoxs are either unique or one of two known for a particular front. It is much tougher to get a brown Lenox example than even a BL 460 or Drum or Uzit. I am just thinking relative to other backs and prices.

Probably a crazy SOB that paid up for the Mack as well. Although it appears to be one of 2-3 known.

Its a very clean & unique example, exactly what I look for. I started dozing off @ 3:15MST, Johnny was up and was going to txt me if it got to 3mins. We both forgot that Goodwin had a timeout and missed getting a final bid in on Bowerman & Engle. Not too happy with myself

I like to soak my polar bears and make some tea, it's an acquired taste.

Congrats John, that proof is outstanding.
