Auction exhaustion

[sgbernard]

If everyone has run out of money by the time REA opens next month, well, that's just fine with me.

Just finished 4 auctions and took a glance and saw Heritage opened, man my fingers are hurting from clicking all of those bidding buttons.

The fact that so many cards changed hands at real money over the past several weeks is a good sign for the health of our hobby. Demand sure does seem to be meeting the supply thus far.

Interestingly, I can't identify a single card that has broken out and ran the last 6 months. Yes, expensive cards have stayed expensive, and most good cards have held their value or gone up a tad, but I can't think of a card that has come out of the shadows and exploded.

Keep your eye on the M110 and Max Stein Cobbs in Heritage. I'm fairly certain they'll be getting run up next month. Woops, I mean they'll be running up.

Ha! Sky's the limit as long as you set the hidden reserve high enough!

One of the problems, generally, relying on realized prices is that rarely if ever does the AH tell you when a "sale" doesn't actually close.

Or when a sale "closes" but is actually won by the consignor.

Interesting comment. I thought the same of a 1932 US Caramel Foxx I just won at mile high.

Thing is, it is the exact same card that Mile High sold in June 2017 per below.

How coincidental that the same card sold at the same auction house just 7 months from each other? Seems odd and curious if the sale fell through in 2017?
