That was one I thought was stellar. Major congrats on that one.

K. Farrell- after I get the lot I will decide what I want to keep and what I want to sell. Will let you know.

Greg- I actually put my bid in around 9:00, then decided to walk away assuming it would go much higher. But that bid held up the whole night. I'm glad the T206 crowd pays no attention to the books.

And I'll let you know if I decide to part with the Church.

Jim, I was admiring that one just before the auction closed. That's a striking card. The color is phenomenal. One of my favorite cards in the whole auction.

Congratulations on your win!

One of my faves, congrats. Looks like our board members came away with quite a few items. Great looking antiquities.

Jim- Love the Croft's Cobb.

[sforaker]

Thanks, Leon.

I agree that the Croft's Cobb is the bomb. Congrats, Jim.

Love seeing all the great cards of fellow board members.

The values I received as a consignor for my items ranged from mediocre to awful.

I consigned a 1951 Bowman Red Menace complete set (Lot 1722) that I bought for $1300 in the 2010 REA auction, then spent about $300 in grading fees, only to see it go for $700, which means only $630 back to me after REA fees, so I lost almost $670 on this set.

I lost money on all of the other items I was consigning too, all purchased from past REA auctions, after accounting for the 10% consignment fees (a T205 Tris Speaker SGC 70, a 1954 Topps Ted Williams, a 1941 Goudy Sky Birds complete set).

Because my consignment auctions were going so poorly, I hardly bid on anything, as I was not feeling like I had any coin to spare.

I wouldn't be concerned unless Jim starts a new thread,

Croft's Candy cards, shouldn't they sell for much more?
