Hake's Auction Pick-Up's

[h2oya311]

Had my eye on the pieces you mentioned, but can't afford any big ticket items at this point. Perhaps in a few months I'll be back on the prowl. I sure hope there aren't any "must haves" between now and next spring!

I received a catalog so they're still sending them, at least to some of us.

I won the Judy Johnson photo.

Congrats Kenny. I cost you some $ there, but was not the underbidder.

Unbelievably... the World Cup Uruguay pins. There always seems to be something "out of the ordinary" that I end up winning at Hakes.

On the baseball side, I took home the Willard Brown Mexico team photo and a few other small photos / postcards.

I was one of the under bidder on the Judy Johnson photo and the Martin Dihigo photo...

Congrats on the new addition!

Hey Phil,

Well, I was the under bidder on both the Judy Johnson card which I bid many times on late and also I went to bed hi on the Duffy Minor league PC to see I was outbid at 4am. I bid on the Charleston but did not want to set a new high price for that grade even though its a great card. I saw if I bid one more time on the Johnson card I would be hi bidder but then I realized it was a photo and not a postcard so I let it go to the other bidder.

I won a couple of the Babe Ruth pins. Frankly, I don't really understand the closing procedure, which seemed to be a lot by lot but if a bid occurs during extra time, the ending time is extended by 3 HOURS from that bid. Luckily, for my lots, no one bid during extended time.

I received one too. Great auction house and I had received a number of emails about their auction.

I also bid on the Charleston -- and was willing to pay up. Apparently "paying up" is in the eye of the bidder. I wish these great negro league cards surfaced more often.

Always impressed with their offerings, one of my favorite AH's.

+1. I received a catalog, numerous email reminders. Hake's does a great job getting the word out. I've consigned with them numerous times because of that.

Strike 2 for you and your lap dog.

Actually, lap dog gone. He had a chance already.

Banned again? Oh man, what did he do this time?

See my thread about friendliness. I am not putting up with crap anymore. His comment about catalogs was 100% snarkiness trying to be veiled, thrown my way. Exactly like last time when I told him his next snarky comment and he was gone. Same exact thing. And as for Jeff. I am tired of dealing with him on the board, at least for now.
