[skelly423]

Sorry kids, you won't be getting any Christmas gifts this year, because of ... uh.... covid.

[mrreality68]

Wow
Sensory overload for all of narrow minded/focused collectors on Ruth, Jackson, and Cobb
I see lots of goodies.

Who ever is bidding against me can stop anytime now.....

[cash4cards]

I know I'm excited! I got the catalog last time like a month after the auction ended last time. I hope I receive a catalog soon on this one.

Yeah, well they're all compromised TPG holders so no need to bid

Thanks, what happens in these instances? do people notify REA directly? Does REA read this board? do they take action? or does this just go through and sell for an outrageous price?

I am sure someone will call it to their attention promptly, if they didn't read it themselves.

[Oscar_Stanage]

what I don't understand about this hobby...
How is it possible that the most knowledgable, talented people are underground collectors as opposed to the institutions whose very own business depends on their expertise in this area?

In any other arena, TPGs would be out of business. Aren't TPG fees based on the card value? i would imagine fees from grading cards worth $50-100k would allow you to hire the people that can do this type of work.

Why don't these guys on blowout start a TPG company focused on high end cards?

Interested in seeing how these lots are handled, given the blowout evidence:
SGC 8, lot 11, is currently at $15k

PSA 3, lot 758, is currently at $3,600

[Tere1071]

There are two lots (991 and 1006) of 53 Bowman color singles that I'd love to own. I put in a bid on each lot, but I know that in the end, I won't be the winning bidder.

[philo98]

It looks like the cards have been taken down from the auction.

[Wanaselja]

I've read a few posts about the joys of getting the REA Catalog in the mail so I decided to sign up for one this time around. It came today. My god - it's a coffee table book. It's incredible. And whomever posted about the smell a while back I couldn't agree more.

I agree with that sentiment. As always with REA, there is lots of amazing stuff that can't be found anywhere else. But seeing so many of the same common Jordan, Mantle, Jackie and Cobb cards is a bit meh. There are over 11,000 1986 Fleer Jordan cards graded "8" or better. That feels a bit like eBay seeing so many of them in one place.

I would assume the multiple Jordan rookies is due to the current market being so hot for that card. As far as others, I’ve seen multiple T206 Cobbs, 52 Mantles, and other high profile cards like Leaf/Bowman Robinson’s for multiple years at this point.

Looked like a link to a porn site. That was a first. A few members clicked on it and went into cardiac arrest.

Thanks! My cardiac unit would have ceased functioning. OTOH I had Instagram models set up across from me for part of Kyle's last show. Who cared at that point if I made any sales, the modeling was good enough for me

How about monopoly money?

[Snapolit1]

How difficult would it be for TPG to drop some minute microscopic fiber (or something) on every card they grade and when they receive a card in the mail scan it and all of a sudden pull of a history of their past experience with the card. Wouldnt this go a long way in eliminating fraud?

[bobbyw8469]

I feel like it lessens the pull when you have ten 1986 Jordan rookies PSA 7. Just kinda ridiculous......but it's a sellers market I guess.

[Usc1]

Ton of Cobbs!

Great comments. I've purchased several cards from REA. They don't accept credit cards or PayPal (unlike Heritage) so it tends to keep a guy in check. But where there's a will there's a way. I wonder if I dare open the catalog when it arrives. It could get ugly.
