Man the centered 53B Mick went strong. The Gehrig rookie did well also. The Ruth landed where I figured considering the centering and print line. If it had just one of those eye appeal issues it would have gone a notch higher.

But did WIN!!!

There were some spectacular items that went last night for sure. I myself didn't bid on anything as I am remodeling some of the house and working on my vintage coke machine. So funds have been tight as of late. I also have a show at the end of the month I'm saving for so. Anyway, I was disappointed to see that 34 Goudey set sell for so cheap. I have more than that into my set so far and I'm only half way done. Yes mine are all graded and avg about a 5 but man just disappointed to see that.

Congrats Chris, that is a sweet card. I was the underbidder, and surprised how relatively low it still was in extended bidding. I ended up bidding it up a few increments, but couldn't break through.

Thanks man, Huggins had a SGC 10 last week that sold for 3k, (and also had the throwing card as well-lots #12&13) It was spectacular. I was a fellow underbidder on it.
But i knew i had a shot at this one. You had me at my max. Atcually thought it just top out at 2k, thats why i bumped it just pass it.
I looked at my emails this afternoon, and just knew when i saw those auto-bids, that i had lost, but i got lucky on a low pop specimen.
I talked to MattyC about this one, because i knew he had one, but said he sold his highest graded one(grade 2) at the convention show

Yeah, I was watching the Huggins Scott ones too.. Those were both really nice.

This one caught my attention because it had the combo of being nice and carrying an "A", so was hoping it would go lower than a numeric grade. I was pretty fired up to bid after hours, thinking I'd snag it around $2K.. But eventually tapped out after 2-3 bids.

Numeric grades seem sorta meaningless to me on these cuz unless they have the coupon, they're all cut. In this case, it got an A for a wavy top border, but seemed a fair trade for a straight bottom, and the pic looked great. If you ever part with it, or upgrade I'd definitely be interested.. Otherwise enjoy!

Nice pick up Adam, I was debating about going after that and/or the Winthrop, but ultimately decided I need to cut back a little on the spending for my personal collection.

I really wanted the Winthrop more but it exceeded my price point pretty quickly. Would have gone great with this one:



The Brown flip book was a last ditch at the edge of my price bubble bid that I could not believe held.

I've been taken a break from pre-war until the cards I need like Home Run Kisses and T210s start appearing again, so I was happy to complete my Topps set run with a nice 1961 set.
