REA is up!

[calvindog]

Bittersweet day for me. I can't have everything or even most everything I want. And I've already received my first outbid notice.

[Anthony S.]

First of all, wow.

Secondly, I sent them an email maybe 20 minutes ago pointing out that the year given for a couple of Obaks was incorrect and they've already made the correction. Top notch.

[chaddurbin]

i've placed initial bids on 587 lots...if i go 1/587 i'll be happy

[Anthony S.]

I just outbid Quan on 423 lots.

[calvindog]

I just outbid Quan on 164 lots.

If I collect all 25 I get to meet the Aga Khan.

[chaddurbin]

anthony i'm getting outbid notice emails popping up left and right...at least i can pretend they're important work emails!

rob is really making a mockery of the pop report...he seemingly has multiples of every drool-inducing cards in the hobby.

[barrysloate]

He's really taking bids already. I think he's like ten days early!

[base_ball]

One of my favorite pastimes is to bid on T206 Wagners early and take a screen shot that says I am the high bidder!

I was thinking we had to wait for the catalogs, always look forward to this auction.

I have noticed that the only time I ever buy a lottery ticket is when there is a REA auction going on-------

This year's auction ends on the same day as the Kentucky Derby.

Hit the Pick 6 in the afternoon, go on a shopping spree that night.

[e107collector]

I see posted on their website, that it says "We are currently accepting consignments for our next auction."

I wonder if they are planning on having 2 auctions this year? I remember this was discussed after last years auction.

I would be in heaven with 2 REA auctions each year!!

Sorry, just had to have them!

I was outbid on about 20-30 lots last night and then returned the favor this morning.

[e107collector]

Someone just bid on the Old Judge California League Doyle card. Anyone want to venture a guess at the ending price? I'll say $260K.

Tony

[T206Collector]

...why do you bid on auctions at anytime earlier than absolutely required?

The only people that makes happy are the auction company and the seller. It is just giving money away. Of course a $100 placeholder bid in an auction for an item that is expected to sell for $100,000 I understand. But otherwise, it's just bidding up the item unnecessarily in my opinion.

I'm up to 17 lots with bids.
Once I get the catalog and peruse it - I am sure that number will climb.

I am already losing 11 out of the 17.

There is one lot I want bad.

My problem is.... I fall asleep on 'game night'.

[Rickyy]

I want that one, that one AND that one!
