REA, how did it go for you?

T36 and t37 set. Couldn't afford the baseball wants.

Awesome pickup. Glad to see the sets go to a board member. There has been some discussion of the T36 set throughout the "Vintage Racing" thread on this board. One of the regular posters in that thread is putting together a T36 set one card at a time. The Barney Oldfield card in the T36 set is one of my favorites, because he looks like such a bad ass chomping on his cigar. LOL

By REA standards, I think you got a nice deal for those two sets. I am not overly familiar with the T37 set, but the T36s are a long, slow slog to put together a set one card at a time.

I won a couple cards - a 15 CJ Alexander and a 41 Play Ball Teddy - that I think I bid on just to win something.

After getting outbid on a couple larger items, I diverted my dollars to another purchase, however, and was able to make a deal with Greg S. last night to pick up this Anson to complete my N162 baseball subset. Always good to have an REA back-up plan.

Jon great snags! Love the Cobb and Wags. And Sam excellent centered 2.5 Anson. If all 2.5's looked like that I'd be fine with my whole collection in that grade.

Wondering if anyone here bid on this Ruth 144? Was top for most of the auction and then someone outbid late so I had to decide to set a vcp record or walk away. ugh. Wish I hadn't had all those beers during the WS game. :-)

Great looking 33 Ruth AJ!

They are not cards but still proud

I thought with the recent climb in postcards that this pair from 1912 would have gone higher, but was happy that it didn't!

Congrats on the Ruth. That could be the nicest 3 I've ever seen.

Picked up the Lajoie W530 Pinkerton Postcard. I still need Wagner and Hoblitzell to complete my set. Just didn't have the funding last night. Darn kids in college.

Glad I picked up my Dietsche Cobb fielding from Jeff Lichtman a few years ago when he upgraded. They seem to have really taken off.

I passed on both Des Moines cabinet cards. Condition on the Laroche didn't justify price on that one. The other I have seen up for sale a few times I've last few years, not sure if same photo, but didn't pull the trigger on it either. Hopefully the consignor is a board member and contacts me privately or puts up in another auction in the near future.

Just one for me:

Another addition to my federal league collection

Nice pickup, and I thought for a really decent price also. The silks get so little love anymore.................

By the way, did you happen to look at the two colored version Cobbs in lots #528 and #529 that were just in front of your Mathewson? Both SGC graded, with the one just shown as Authentic going for literally 1/3 of the final price of the one graded an 80, and yet the one graded as authentic is actually in better condition IMO. No idea how the one graded an 80 gets that grade with the amount of top edge fraying it had. The centering was a little better but, not three times the value better, especially with that much fraying. Unbelievable!

I won the WWG Ruth PSA 5. Very happy for a centered Ruth.

Very dissapointed I was outbid on the EPDG's.

[Touch'EmAll]

Agreed, the few S74 Colored Silks had my interest. Wonder why they seem to be out of favor with the bigger money crowd. I would have bid on a couple if I hadn't spent my budget recently on a '68 Mays PSA 9. I was watching the 1949 S. Paige PSA 8, its 6600. price was solid, nice centering.

That's a beautiful Anson!

I had my first REA win ... 1909-1911 T206 White Border Hall of Fame SGC EX 60 Collection (3) Including Lajoie (throwing) and Clarke (batting and portrait).

Holy cow the e105 mello mint lot went for ridiculous money given they aren’t “scarce” relative to the rest of the set.

Almost 10k for the lot of 3.

Good value at that. Congrats!
