memory Lane Spring Rarity Auction

[Stonepony]

Digital Catalog is making its way out. No words other than Incredible!!!
disclosure- I am not consignor, nor affiliated. Just a collector

[1954 topps]

Fully agree, this is one of the best auctions in recent memory.

I haven't seen anything yet. Is it on their website somewhere that I'm missing?

They always have great items in there auction and this one definitely raises the bar.

[Casey2296]

Looks like Ryans Flickr page.

Incredible cards and good luck to Ryan and any Net54 bidders, some true gems in there.

[cgjackson222]

Damn! 1914 Cracker Jack set break AND General Baking near set breaks in the same auction.

Good luck to all Net54 consigners and bidders.

It’s beyond me to try and figure out how people are coming up with the kind of money to place these insane bids on just day 1 of this auction. The economy is supposedly in the tank and cost of essentials certainly hasn’t come back down at all after the crazy inflation over the past few years. Where do people come up with this kind of money?

I NEED SOME!!!

Big talking point but I am not seeing it. Especially in the bigger auctions.

[mrreality68]

So Many Great and Rare Items

and Day 1 has seen a strong start on many of the items

Good Luck Ryan

[frohme]

My wallet is happy and I'm only somewhat surprised that with the breadth and quality of both the Memory Lane and Mile High auctions that neither has a single T207 and there is only a sprinkling of T205s to be found in the former.

There are times that collecting what's seemingly becoming a second-class set has its benefits

[Kidnapped18]

100+ bids just entered $50k+ already outbid on 30+ and this is just Day 1
Will be lucky to win a handful!! LOL!!

Going through the results this morning

Holy moly!

[mrreality68]

Hopefully our forum won alot


I was on the sideline so sadly nothing to contribute

[Leon]

It ended sometime after 3am CST. I went to sleep way before that. I was interested in a few things but not enough to stay up until the wee hours of the morning to bid. (heck I can't stay up that late anyway)



.

[DCJayhawk]

Going into the final night, I have my firm number on everything Im going after, I drop that bid at around 11 and then wake up to see if they held up.
Too old to stay up that late, and if I miss, 99/100 that card/combo will come back around again.
That said 8 bids held up

[anchorednw]

I grabbed a handful of the mid grade T206 (including the Eddie Collins Old Mill PSA 6) , as I am always looking for centered/nice eye appeal copies.

[jacksons]

Beautiful group - congrats!

Thanks for chiming in Ryan regarding your take on the mixed results from last night.

What were your thoughts on the ending price on your Psa 6 1916 M101-4 Herpolsheimer Joe Jackson? $50,741.76 before the BP seemed low as well.

[mordecaibrown1]

Yes the D304 Matty that sold for $43k. If the bidders bidding that card up would have looked on Ebay they could have had a 5.5 for $15K. I was think of buying the Ebay one at 5:am. it sold I if figured early morning!

[Rhotchkiss]

I believe the ML style of closing greatly increases prices. Extended bidding started at 7pm, and from 7pm to well over midnight, my cards were getting many multiple bids per minute. I don’t believe this would have happened in an REA/Heritage format, where you only have 15-30 minutes to pivot and are often closed out of lots you would have bid again on, but extended bidding on those lots had ended. Under ML’s style, a bidder can, and does, have more time and options to pivot if/when they are outbid on other lots. I agree that as a bidder, the style is tough. But as a consignor, I really like it and I think it made a huge difference/impact on my set breaks last night.

This is crazy! Very curious to see what the 5.5 goes for when it is ultimately resold (probably through ML)

[Casey2296]

That was a long night/early morning. Some super rare stuff in there and strong results on many cards, congrats to Ryan.
I ended up with 3 14CJs and wish I had a bigger budget as there were a few more cards that I would have loved to pick up.

[uniship]

Ray Caldwell 1914 cracker jack - PSA 3 - $18,000 !!!

[Bicem]

Hate the antiquated closing format.

Was shut out but some strong prices for sure.

Caldwell went super strong! Only outbid by Mathewson, Joe Jax, Cobb and Wagner last night for the 14 CJs. Somebody wanted this card bad…I have an idea of at least two of the bidders so I will see who posts him here or in their registry. As previously stated God bless the Registry!!!
SGC commons prices just don’t stand up to the PSA commons prices which is good for a collector who just needs the card.

Makes me want to break out the jigsaw and find out if my well-preserved example is a 1914 or not!
