Recent Chicle Auctions

[TanksAndSpartans]

Jeff, I had forgotten about BST - thanks for reminding me - this is the one that I was checking from time to time even though it wasn't in my budget: http://www.bst-auctions.com/1935_Nat...mp-LOT790.aspx

I don't think I've ever seen a PSA 9 Chicle auctioned off - were you thinking that was high or low? Did you have any BST wins? I didn't wind up bidding.

I was surprised at how high the PSA 9 Strong went for. Understand its his rookie* and high grade but it went for nearly double what a signed cabinet of HOF baseball player Roger Bresnahan went for! To me, that's crazy ... and the registry people in action.

* never mind there are much older cards of Strong available

I'll tell you what. Whoever picked up that National Chicle Premium set got a STEAL. Just try putting that set together one by one for less than $4K-$5K in any condition. If I didn't already have the set, I would have been all over that lot.

Thanks Jeff - all this talk of 52 Mantles and Lucky 7 finds has my view of pricing a little distorted - I actually thought it might be low

I wasn't sure on the Chicle set either - I know some of the tough ones go for 600. Assuming no fees, you think the buyer can make money breaking it?

I noticed a set jumped in front of me on the registry. When I looked closer, it was this: http://www.psacard.com/PSASetRegistr...?s=215326&ac=1 Should be interesting. I'm 99% sure I don't get the REA catalog, I never bid with them - they seem to really focus on the high end of the market.

Interesting. Which set yours, John? Jumped ahead of me too!

That's a nice set but wouldn't be surprised if the person(s) who purchase it split it up and sell them off individually.

Hey Jeff, I'm at #17 now on the current registry (I still have the Dez Hood moniker at CU, but I asked Leon to change it over here.)

Often I think they auction the cards off both individually and as a set and see which one sells for more, right? If I was the seller, I don't think I'd want to sell it as a set.....

Did anyone bid on this Nagurski: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1935-Nationa.../142024335634?

I got an email saying my bid was cancelled and now it just shows the item as ended.
