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.

I picked up my 11th BB Jackie Robinson for a reasonable price. Also was happy to see the E107 Cy Young go for $45K as I consigned mine to the next LOTG auction

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.

1. They aren't actually cards, which turns off some collectors. 2. The exact same images are used in multiple other issues; T-205s, Piedmont Art Stamps: and T-202 end panels. so they aren't unique. 3. No one seems to really know how to grade them, just look at my earlier comments regarding the Cobb silks in REA's just ended auction. 4. When originally issued, they were actually folded when put into cigarette packs so they originally came folded/creased, which likely turns some collectors off. 4. PSAS won't grade them so they don't get into the registry and that likely turns off quite a few of the higher-dollar collectors also. If someone could get PSA, or even SGC and BVG, to come up with a much more reasonable grading system for them, coupled with PSA actually grading them, I think they would see a big pick up in interest.

I am so glad that there isnt big money collectors going after them. I finally after 20 yrs was able to complete my white series. Even if it doesnt have a back
I am thrilled and can't wait tell it arrives. I am wondering Bob if the Smith was available in red or brown print. The only other one I have seen is yours also with blue print. I was able to fill some colored wholes with the REA colored lot as well. I love cost averaging both lots to $65 ea. Last edited by rsst206; 10-30-2017 at 05:16 PM.

I figured you were bidding on those silk lots, especially with the Helmar and Red Sun backs included. Other than my Smith~Rustlers ad-backed silk, I've only seen/known of one other, and that got sold a year or two ago to Andy Becker I believe as part of a partial ad-backed set I think he was going to try and complete and sell. No idea whatever happened to that venture, or if he still has it. Here's a scan including that other Smith-Rustlers ad-backed silk I knew of. As you can see, it is also with the blue ink. Now that you mention it, I'm not sure I've seen it in anything other than the blue ink version. That is a great question, did it ever get printed in the brown or red rust colored versions? Hmm! Speaking of trying to finish sets, do have any doubles/extras in all those ad-backed silks you picked up that you'd be willing to help out a fellow collector trying to do what you're doing, finish his set? I think there were about six or seven of those in that lot I would be interested in if they are extras to you. If so, let me know and I'll send you a PM and we can discuss. Take care and good pick up. By the way, did you grab both lots, the white and colored silks? And speaking of the REA silks, what were your thoughts on the "proofs" they listed in lot #526?

I snagged the M116 Wags (blue).
I was the underbidder on a few others, but was glad to secure that one. And with that - on to Heritage!!!
