Goodwin wins?

[atx840]

How did I miss this one closing last night..

Nice wins everyone!

I won the W-unc playing card of McGraw. Neat little card and goes with a Meusel I already have out of this set.

Some really aggressive prices out there. In particular, with regards to the cards I was watching, the e107 Dougherty and the t204 Square Frame Bancroft seemed to fetch insane prices....over $3800 and $4200 respectively. Anyone know the story on those two? Consigners have to be happy I'm sure!

Apparently that SGC grader never played Spades!

LOL...nice catch Nate...I just now noticed that!

The E101 Matty almost doubled in price the final couple hours too. Amazing prices for most cards.

I'm a bit concerned that the Bescher OM, based on the scans, went that high because bidders thought it has a ghost on the front.

I was trying or the Lafitte Hindu.. until I realized that the next bid would have made it a $1K card.. jeez... went very high imo.

If it didnt have a ghost on the front, than the front of the Sweet Cap ghost Bescher would have had to be perfectly cropped and placed in the SGC holder that had the Old Mill flip on there. The two Beschers were identical cards, with different flips and different backs.

I have to admit, I won the Meusel.... and for all your good fortune, I procrastinated and bid SECONDS after time ran out on the McGraw, and I wanted the McGraw more..... so you got the McGraw cheaper, and then one of the original bidders - maybe you ?? :-) knocked me up another 80 bucks on the Meusel before they gave in........... UGH !!!! JOHN Is your Meusel graded.... I know there are two graded, and perhaps one or two floating around not graded... Leon has one I think ???? or the Ruth..

It's a good thing you missed by a few seconds (was this when the entire auction ended??) as I fell asleep a little after 1AM and wouldn't have been able to counter.

I was a little surprised the McGraw didn't go higher as I thought he was the uncatalogued player, is a HOFer and I haven't seen that bright red variation yet in this set either.

As for the Meusel, I was intrigued by the oversized borders but I never placed a bid on it at any point. I have that one already in a 40 holder (light brownish/orange-ish variation). 4 baseball players in this set right? McGraw, Meusel, Ruth and one other...can't think of the player right off....

I have a Ruth from this set that I got from fkw. I believe Leon and Adam also have Ruth's. The partial checklist from this set that Adam did is here: Link.

From Goodwin, I managed to win the Big Head and Pathe Freres Ruth's. Not in the best of conditions, but tough cards that I really needed.

Nice cards....I forgot, yeap, got one of those Ruths too...

So me (John), Leon and Brian have the three known Meusels. We are price fixing the value at $1000. Ha. No. I missed the bid on McGraw before the 15 mins get added on So I was barred from making bids. Yes. It should have gone for double easily. But you never know ! Great pickup

I have an ungraded Meusel...

If the winner of the Square Frame T204 wants two more from the set in better condition at a discount to what they paid last nite I'm all ears.
