REA surprise outcomes?

[Blunder19]

Anyone else surprised by the babe Ruth signed balls pricing? Have those gone up? I was watching the multi signed ball with young Cobb and babe and Wagner. Etc.

I love the offbeat and non-sports cards. I mentioned the Howard Hughes card from the 1936 Heinz Aviators set in one of the other REA threads; I was blown away by the action on that card on the final day. The Howard Hughes card in that set is a great rarity, and doesn't come up for auction too often. In 2014, a PSA 5 of the Hughes cards sold for $657 with Legendary. In 2012, a PSA 4 sold for $478 with Legendary.

The Hughes card at REA was a PSA "5" ended at $2,040 with the BP. Yikes, non-sports cards don't often triple like that in three years, especially in mid-grade.

A Wildfire Shulte game used Cubs bat from early 1900's for $13,200! That's insane. It's a $400-$800 bat. Makes no sense.

maybe I need glasses?

The green Cobb PSA 2 that went for 5400. I am willing to bet someone thinks they can get the tape residue off the back and turn the card into a 4 to make a few thousand dollars on the card.

Keep those eyes peeled.

Compare the PSA 4 that just sold in Sunday night's at REA for $15k+ w/ BP to the one listed in BST: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=238944

The REA Mantle's hammer price makes the one listed in BST look like a good deal.

PS - I have no stake in the BST Mantle (or the one sold in REA), but I do have the 51 Bowman Mantle in a PSA 5 that I will gladly sell for $18k based on these prices...!
