Heritage Winnings

[Rhotchkiss]

Great cards guys. CW, I was on that Nap too -- very very pretty -- but man did that thing get expensive; I bowed out at around $1200. Great looking card and great back (front/back combo). Here is what I got, and I am very excited about both. I think these will end my 2017 buying.

Didn't expect to win either of these.

I'm very excited!

I was wondering if the winner of the signed Playball cards lot would be interested in selling the 1941 Play ball #22 Johnson card. Please send me a message if you do. Thanks, Scott.

Does anyone else think that some of the big $$$ items went lower than expected?

Or were the estimates way too high? Any thoughts? PSA 8 Mantle 52 Topps $408K?

Yes Clemente PSA 8 rookie sold heritage $20k. Rose PSA 9 rookie sold $40k. Koufax PSA 9 rookie sold $108k. Alcindor PSA 10 rookie sold $240k. Chamberlain PSA 9 rookie sold $22k are a few examples.

Nothing in pre-war, but I grabbed one of these:

Brad - I really like that photo of Jennings. From what I understand, he only played in Brooklyn from 1899-1900 and then again in 1903. So, I think your c1895 date can be adjusted upwards by a few years. Really great image though!

I picked up this Perkins Studio Cabinet of Kid Gleason to go along with my Perkins Studio Cab of Jennings (see my avatar):

I was the under bidder, you got a real nice photo at a real nice value.

The Clemente had poor centering for an 8. A Mantle with better centering sold earlier this year for 660k, one with worse centering sold for 384k in August. 408k for the Mantle wasn't that low. None of the cards that I was bidding on went low.

And a 52 mantle topps psa 8 sold for $282k in hunt auctions earlier this year too.

big yes! i was surprised the Goudey Ruth (181) in a PSA 8 sold for 45.6 REA just sold a comparable 8 of that card for $66,000.

i wonder if 52T Mantles, especially low grade ones, are cooling off. Finally.

Love that Jennings!

I was the under bidder of oh so many and only came away with this one. Happy though ... I've been wanting this pose for a long time.

Ryan, great job. I love that Jackson. Now I want one.

Nothing special, but one I did not have. Will be freed from the holder upon arrival!

Always buying or trading for W600's I don't have.

Congrats Scott - I was hoping that you grabbed that one. At this point, it must be like finding a needle in a haystack for you to add anything to your W600 collection.

Great pick ups guys. I was able to snag the M116 Cy Young SGC 50.

Have my fingers crossed for tomorrow.

[oldjudge]

The price finally came down enough. This is an 8 in any holder.
