I'm sure many people are better at cracking out cards than I am. But it seems like it would take at least some courage to crack out a $40,000 card like the Graziano description says the current consignor did.

Lajoie t3 at 12k plus juice also surprises me.

With six day to go 19th century bid levels are still anemic. Of course there are a few exceptions, but in general the levels are the weakest I have seen in many years. This of course could change, but as I remember, prior REA auctions at this point showed markedly stronger results.
