Half a million seems like a pretty solid part of a cool million to me, and well outside of my threshold for deploying my limited resources.

Hammer on the Bond Bread Jackie Portrait in a 7 was 35K. Based on that, what would a PSA 5.5 expect? Lows 20's maybe?

I was also a bidder on this one, but just so you are aware it looks quite similar to this card, so may be cleaned up a bit. Hard to tell from the pictures alone.

Srik, congrats on the Uzit! One of my favorite backs, and might even be rarer than Drum.

Seems like T206 printing errors are roaring back, some very robust prices- Criger Front Miscut, Rudolph Upside Down Back, Hummel multi strike, Shaw Ghost, Lash Bitters, even the low-grade Nodgrass. All very strong.

"T206 Magie error PSA 3 closed at $33.6k. It was a great looking example, but a little annoying since my 3, which was very nice in its own right, only brought $29.5k in ML’s spring auction. Considering I have a number of t206s coming up in their summer auction, I am trying to decide if it was condition difference that justifies the extra 10%, or does REA bring better prices on T206 than memory lane. I think it’s a little of both."

Ryan, IMO it's neither. I feel yours was slightly better condition, although they are both very nice and comparable. I also think ML and REA are both top shelf and bring very similar prices. I think it's just a slight increase in the market. It's a very rare and desirable card, and people who are priced out on Planks go hard on Magie.

Also, a 10% difference isn't that much...if it was 20-30% more, than that would make for an interesting conversation. To me, they are comparable condition, and the auction results feel quite comparable too. Again, I'm thinking there's a slight uptick in the market over the last few months.

Good info on those, both definitely have been quite improved.
