1916 Fleischmanns at Goodwin last night...

I have handled and sold quite a few over the years. The prices were fairly strong, overall, imo.....

I really liked the image on the Chief Meyers card. If I weren't waiting for LOTG to end tomorrow I'd have been all over it.

Me too. I was the under bidder on that one...

I thought it was interesting that SGC 10 common T213-2's had starting bids of $100, plus the vig and shipping. These cards commonly sell on eBay for anywhere between $30 and $50. I wonder what the thought process was for starting these at $100? Needless to say, they didn't sell.

Strong prices overall, not sure there were any "deals" on them. I like the set but rarer sets have struggled to gain similar pricing, not sure I totally understand why this set sells for as much as they do (specifically the larger HOFers).

Larger HOF'er collectors....and possibly even a set collector for the most rare ones. There might only be 5 set collectors but if there is only 2-3 known, there can be a tussel.

Personally I think a lot of the value has to do with the images. That Meyers card was a beauty. And that Daubert card was striking too.

Leon, totally understand. These cards selling for what they do doesn't really surprise me because I actually really like them. That being said, usually the stuff I find most interesting aren't the things that tend to sell for so much! (In other words, nobody else likes them!)
