The "OFFICIAL" REA - Sweat it out thread!

[bobbyw8469]

This lot right here seems INSANE to me!

http://bid.robertedwardauctions.com/...x?itemid=26122

I had all three cards in the Decemeber PWCC auction (except my Hagan was a 5.5 and this one is a 6).
The grand total I got for my three cards was a shade under $1,200. To be at $2,000 AND THEN pay 20% juice on top of that makes this lot roughly $2,400. So basically $1,200 more for one half graded higher! To me, that is INSANITY!! Makes me wish I had consigned my whole collection with REA instead of PWCC!

You're right Bobby! I had a card on here (not important which one) but was an SGC70 and sold it for $3350 and now the same card at an SGC45 is at $2500 + the 20% vig bringing it to $3000.

I think some folks just wait for REA all year long and are not members here, or else they would have jumped ALL over my offering of my card, just didn't see it.

I am always blown away by what some items draw in this auction. I know this is not a non-sports forum, but as someone who's almost as proud of my non-sports collection as I am of my baseball/football collection, I am simply stunned by what this lot has drawn (as impressive as it is):

I had visions of maybe getting a "steal" in the $3-4K range. Not so fast....

Granted, it's one of the premier non-sports sets of the 1880s, but it's only 61 cards - that's not even two-thirds of the set. And only eight cards are graded. With the premium this is currently sitting at $23,700 - or nearly $390 per card!!

I can't find the countdown timer. Is it on the site ? It only states "Extended bidding " I thought it usually countsdown from 15mins.

Gah!!!

Got outbid on the one I wanted most, the Comiskey scrapbook. I'm out.

You won't need that until well after midnight.

But you can always use the 'recent bids' link at the left - it will show you the last 100 items

Hope my Baltimore News Ruth bid holds up. I'm excited to see what these high dollar items go for.

Was just outbid on the 1914 Cobb... Debating one more bid.
Was outbid a couple days ago on my main desire.
Looking like another empty-hander for this kid!

Matt, at almost $5K with the vig, I think you'll be able to find another less than that in a 1
