REA - what'd ya win or lose on?

[Prince Hal]

I won a '33 Goudey Ruth but lost out on the group of D381 Yankees. If anyone bought that lot with the intent of breaking it up I am interested in one of the cards.

Who on earth paid 10K plus for a 56 Mantle in 6.5?

Someone confident that he can get it into a 9 holder?

One would think. Or someone overly influenced by the recent centering mania.

I was the high bidder on the red PSA 5 Cobb forever but got outbid the last day or so and it got out of my price range. Changed my direction and was bidding on the PSA 3 Crackerjack Wagner but that also got above my price range so I 'settled' on picking up two nice Mathewsons (T205 and Brunners). Always wanted a Brunners. I think they are beautiful.

The Brunners are very beautiful. Flirted with the idea of buying one of the larger groupings in RE and taking a run at the set. Didn't pull the trigger.

That's $7500 more than a PSA 7 Gray back Mantle sold for at Goldin the night prior

Someone started a thread on thag one on the postwar board too. It is puzzling to say the least. A PSA 8 sold in the same auction for less, and the 7.5 much less. And there is a little paper loss in the upper right corner. I'm sure the consignor is pleased.

Someone must have been bidding them up on the price too !! Two people that want that card for close to 10K....SMH

56 Mantle PSA 6.5? This is the card that makes absolutely no sense to me, absolutely none....There also looks like some weird stuff going on with the reverse.... People looking for a higher graded 56 Mantle would know that there are plenty for the taking based upon the numbers....

[Blunder19]

one of my wins...love the no name....

Finally got the extremely tough violet E94 Cy Young to complete the 6 different colored E94 Young fronts.
I thought the E,94s, both regular and overprinted backs and E98s, both regular and Old Put backs, went for really reasonable prices. I wanted to jump on some as duplicates because of the good prices but stayed focused on the prize :-)

Congrats Bob....a few years ago that would have cost 2x as much...

Nice pick-up! I had an initial bid on that one, then stayed off and focused on others. I have it in red, more focused on completing a set rather than a color string .. though an amazing thing (IMO) to be be able to stay focused and do that!

I won some of the other E94's, most were dupes/upgrades though. I agree that the prices were pretty reasonable compared to what I thought they might go for.

The E98's .. in some respects I thought along the lines of what you may expect, but that E98 Chance PSA8 went a lot higher (w/juice) than I thought it would have or recent sales may have suggested. That's a hard group to judge with shifts in demand, HOF vs. no, high/low end, Black Swamp, etc. Congrats again on that purple Young!

Great proof card. I really would like to get one someday, but at that price it isn't likely.

[OriolesHOF]

Adding to my Jack Dunn back run, I won the T206 of Babe's legal guardian with a Cycle 350 reverse.

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

some of the t205 bulk lots were still reasonable last I looked, just didn't have the money to pull the trigger.

[Piratedogcardshows]

I was the underbidder on the Old Mill Cabinet Dutch Revelle entering extended bidding. I wouldnt exactly say I lost it though as I never was really in the running obviously with the 7k+ closing price!

It wasnt a total loss though quite the opposite. Of the 7 lots I had bids on I was able to pick up the Series 4 Benny card which has eluded me for a few years partially from my own mistakes. The addition brings me to needing just Dougherty for completion of Series 4.
