You picked up the much rarer card. And I got this T210 as his pose reminds me of me.....

[sterlingfox]

Bid on 73 lots, won 6 of them. Was the under bidder on many, including some Ruths that I thought went for fair prices. I should have gone higher...especially on that super rare 33 Exhibits 4 on 1...oh well.

Here are the one's I was lucky enough to snag:

1922 Eastern Exhibit Dave Bancroft (HOF) - SGC EX 60
1926-29 Exhibit Postcard Backs Jim Bottomley (Blank Back) - SGC VG/EX 50
1926-29 Exhibit Postcard Back Frankie Frisch (St. Louis) - SGC VG/EX 50
1926-29 Exhibit Postcard Back Gabby Hartnett (Photo Background) - SGC EX 60
1926-29 Exhibit Postcard Back Dazzy Vance - SGC VG/EX 50
1934-36 Diamond Stars SGC-Graded Pair (#99 Traynor SGC 20, #98 Rowe SGC 45)

The Bottomley was the best of the bunch, as it's a short printed blank back.

The high number Diamond Stars filled some holes in my master set pursuit.

I've never seen a Diamond Stars with a blank back. I've been collecting them for 10 years. Not sure if it's a printing error, set up piece, etc. I've been unable to find a previous comp.

Also unsure of how( or if) the rarity affects value.

If the back is blank, how did SGC know if it was #11 or #103? Also, #103 could only be a 1936... and they labeled it 1934, so something is off in my opinion.

[keating3620]

With a blank back they would not know what year the card was produced. The #11 card was produced in '34 and '35. You are correct, The #103 card was only produced in '36. Since diamond stars were produced in '34-'36 many holders have incorrect years listed or "1934-1936".

Bid on 73 lots, won 6 of them.

The nice thing about collecting the stuff I collect is that I bid on 6 items and won 5 of them. 3 for the opening bid amount. The chance for a resale profit is nil, but that works fine for me.

The lot I lost would have been an upgrade, and I didn't expect it go for the opening bid amount, and I never planned to bid higher.

I look forward to adding these to my collection:
1920 Yankees Official Scorecard: Ruth vs. Cobb
1947 NY Journal-American New York Giants Premium
1949 Almendares (Cuban) Premium
1949-50 Almendares (Cuba) Team Photo Premium
1949-52 Brooklyn Dodgers Original Snapshot Collection (58)

Thanx for another fun auction Al, and thank you also for taking Paypal payments.

I was in on those snapshots for a bit. Very cool. Congrats.

I simply didn't want to pay above market, and was fully expecting to lose out on many of my bids - even though I did hold out some hope to win at least 1 Ruth or Gehrig. I'm currently not a dealer (but aspire to deal at local shows some day). The same thing usually happens to me on PWCC auctions - my win rate is pathetic because so much of it goes above market, but I do usually still end up with something. It's a good thing that I'm not set on any one particular card or issue, and there is always next time!

I know this has been debated before, and many will disagree with me, but I tend to believe the winning price in a well-publicized, fairly run auction IS the current market price for a new card. It's when you buy from a dealer who sources his inventory from auctions like these when you tend to pay above market. (Which I've done many times when I really wanted a card.)
