A note about tonight's LOTG "Ringside" Auction

[RCMcKenzie]

That was a fun auction. I hope y'all have another one next year. I ended up with an n174 Paddy Ryan and the T218 Tolstoi Gans and Jeffries. I have a lesser grade dupe of the Jeffries that I would like to trade when I can find it. It's in a box somewhere. Anyway, I thought the prices were strong, at least on the stuff I was looking at.

It was fun, and I won some nice items. I didn't realize it was one of those auctions that keeps resetting the clock until no more bids are received. That went really late for anyone on the east coast. When did it close?

I had consigned the 1960s - 1970s Panini boxing cards which were in the auction - most went for less than I expected, and some were far less.

Al did well to try and promote the auction, but for some of these cards which don't have a huge following, an auction format can be difficult to maximize prices if it doesn't reach just the right buyers.

For example, the '66 Liston PSA 9 has sold for $150 - $175 in the past year, but had only a single bidder at $50. The '73 VIP card of Ali / Frazier in PSA 8 sold for only $35, whereas PSA 5's has sold for $70 - $90 in the past year.

So, not thrilled with the results on my items, though many of the other items (most of the Jack Johnson cards) appeared to have strong results.

Nice pick ups Brent. I was outbid on a number of things that I wanted, but did get the Jack Johnson Casanova card. Had wanted that one for awhile, though I had to pay about twice as much as I thought. I really enjoyed the auction. Quite fun and I like the idea.

Nice auction fellas. For anybody worried about the slightly higher buyers premium fee for CC or Paypal payments, it's more then made up for by the very reasonable S&H charges.

Just got my invoice, and I picked up some decent sized group lots. I would have expected to get banged for at least 3-4 times as much on shipping charged from most of the bigger auction houses. At least!

Hope it was worth your time to run these types of boxing auctions again.

I was happy to pick up the Jack Johnson Actuales wrapper. Great piece and great auction.
