Goldin Winnings/Losings

You had the right lot, Phil, the M101-1 is a great piece and one of the few underappreciated Wagner rookie pieces. Looking at what the shiny new cards go for (astonishing to me), and other Wagner portraits of which there are fewer of the M101-1, it’s still a relative bargain. Hope you get one someday.it followed most auction cadences, a little different than a lot like the T206 in terms of timing of bidding I think.

Was able to pick this up for much less than I thought it would go for. I know it’s a bit OC but the color and registration (especially tough with this card) are outstanding. 828708.jpg

As a Comsignor for me Very good day but a bit mixed results

Two of my Jackson’s my 1917 Boston Store and 1914 CJ Joe Jackson very very strong results and exceeded my expectations
Two cards my 1914 E&S Jackson and my 1924 Real photo pst card with Ruth did not do so well.
And my 1922 w575-1 was a neutral(but disappointing) result

But very happy with the overall result and 3 of the items did not get any bids in extended time.

And on the bidding side I had no plans to bid but decided to get a couple of tickets for The years Babe Ruth played that matches a couple of my cards (posted in the June pickup post)

Jeff, I’d say you came out miles ahead. The BS and CJ Jacksons ended shockingly high.

Especially in the case of Goldin, but likely similar for Heritage, the high profile sets (Cracker Jack, Goudey, Boston Store, T206, etc.) combined with the most iconic players (Ruth, Cobb, Jackson, Wagner) bring limitless prices for those who travel in that space. The rest of us are left with everything else, i.e. - E & S, W575-1, one-off RPPC’s and all of these can be very up and down despite rarity and other factors in their favor. Today, nothing trumps the biggest cards of the biggest names and the collectors with the deepest pockets. Everyone else can expect their cards to surge sometimes and decline many other times. To me, that doesn’t make the overall hobby strong or weak, every item is pretty much on a case by case basis. In my opinion, the less money you have to spend, the more times you have to settle for what you can afford and that’s the stuff that has not excelled over the past 3-4 years since COVID. Yet that probably represents 95% of the hobbyists out there. In the old days, I believe a much higher percentage of hobbyists out there could afford the “big” cards. Of course, “big” is a relative term.

Great auction last night. I won 14 cracker jacks. 9 hall of famers. Lower end hof’s, the best being Lajoie. I tried for Jackson and Cobb. Just couldn’t keep up. I did win the massive Tom Seaver lot. I feel a good price at 40k with juice. All psa cards. Don
