Heritage T206 Auction - WOW

[iwantitiwinit]

I tried 8k for the Magee PSA 8. Nope. 19k with bp. Holy smokes.

Couldn't afford to pay attention

Does Heritage track the number of individual bidders who participate in an auction and share that information publicly? That would be interesting on this auction.

I came away with nothing as well. Does anyone know when the REA preview is available?

I was pissed they wouldn't validate my parking ticket.

I wonder how much correlation there is between the mind-numbing numbers generated by this splendid collection and the Dow Jones hitting an all time high- both on the same day. Just a tad, me thinks

[barrysloate]

It was a perfect confluence of events: the most popular set ever, offered in the highest condition ever, marketed individually by the top auction house, during the strongest stock market ever, with an incredible concentration of wealth at the top.

Put that all together and what do you get? An $8 million T-206 set. And the fact that so many records were smashed doesn't surprise me at all. It's what I would have expected.

October 8

I was bidding on 30 different cards but ended up with zero. I was hoping to pick up a few if I thought they were bargains, but no go. The PSA slabs bring a lot of value, that's for sure.
