Huggins and Scott Auctions - Open For Bidding

WOW, watched the group of 3 Baltimore Negro League photos last night go from $650 as extended bidding began to a final price of $6K + juice, that's quite a bump up on the final night. Must have been one happy consignor there.....

I really enjoyed writing that lot and figured there would be interest in it. I think a Holiday Inn Express stands now where the old ballpark was. However, my favorite Negro League piece of the auction was undoubtedly Lot 278.

I was happy to win the one lot I went after for less than my max bid. Got a good deal on an item I'd been looking to add to my collection for a while now.

I thought the majority of lots went rather high for what was there. To the point, that I am thinking of consigning with Huggins & Scott if they get those kinds of results all the time!

Neither the consignor nor the auction house seemed to realize that Pete Hill, Jud Wilson, John Beckwith, Heavy Johnson, and others were in those photos. I'm guessing the bidders did.

Yep, there are a lot of eagle eyes in this hobby

And that's why (and I know Barry S has trumpeted this many times) but while we all enjoy very las tminute bidding be it in an catalog auction or EBay, sometimes putting in your bids in advance ensures you of a chance for the item, i can't tell you how many times I've read on message boards about just missing making a bid or forgot about it.

And while the cards on Rbay are not what they used to be, again if you have a good item and a seller without that much card experience, they might panic if they do not see any bids early. Yes, I know we're all afraid of being shilled but if you put in a bid you are comfortable with, what is the difference?
