REA observations

[jggames]

It's the first time I've seen a Carolina Brights go for under $500 - it's probably in 2 pieces, but for the most part a cool card.

I won this. I am working on the set, but I love the stamp on the back, which I had never seen. These W601 PCs are so rare that it’s tough to say whether I over or under paid. I was watching two other cards - the Blue M116 Wagner and the 1933 Delong Gehrig. I think prices on both were very strong/solid

Regarding t206s, especially rare backs: PWCC is dumping them into the market place with these auctions. I think the next one has like 5-6 brown Lenox in one auction; you rarely see more than 2 per year across all auctions. I think they way they are doing these auctions is just plain stupid, at least from a sell standpoint; good for buyers. And there was that random Massachusetts auction with all the Carolina Brights not long ago. I think the market has been flooded with rare back t206 and prices reflect that. Way too much supply.

PWCC Stuff went soft last night...a Nice 53 Topps Mantle SGC 7 sold for $21,000 well off it's peak....it will be nice having a normalization of pricing relative to the state of the economy.

Since that was my consignment, you under paid!! Ha. I’ve never seen another stamp like that either and I wasn’t excited to see it pop up in their monthly auction along with my 1926-29 Plain back Exhibits of all HOFers.

The W601s and other Postcards series like the Souvenir shop and a team issue with Christy Mathewson went way cheaper than expected. On the flip side, my winnings were at a decent value.

I missed the stamp on back postcard but did grab this one. Not sure if it's the one you are talking about but it has the cool factor.

Yes. That’s it. Someone got a great deal.

I was shocked and surprise to grab a t206 Cy Young for under $500, though an authentic, it is a unique OP and it was a hole in my set, so I am THRILLED at the lower prices!

This one, right? What was the alteration?

I like its looks. To my eyes it appears that the bottom horizontal 'crease' may actually be a rip that goes across most of the card. If so, does a TPG normally classify this as 'altered'?
