REA is open
Finally some good news in the hobby—REA is open. Amazing auction, especially the 19th century selection.

Agree, the 19th century stuff is off the charts.

The 20th century stuff isn't bad either. I've got a few early bids in, and a couple of outbid notices already. Should be a fun one.

I think I counted 20 Red Cobbs.

I know I'm probably going to get blasted for this, but with a few exceptions (those yum yums ), I think the auction overall is actually quite weak by REA standards. Just feels to me like the auction doesn't have that WOW factor I expect from REA.

When they went to two auctions a year, makes it hard to be stellar...although for the most part they've still done that.

It looks like they have a Spring, Summer, and Fall now. I could probably find a few lots to bid on, maybe not win. Still fun.

Got my initial bids in to. Looks like a couple big collections got consigned. Huggins and Scott opened up to, and they had some surprising good stuff as well.

I agree that the high end WOW factor isn't on par with previous auctions, but the breadth and selection of nice looking mid-grade cards is very strong.
And yes, there were a TON of Red Cobbs! |

I call dibs on one Ty Cobb card!

Looks like another low grade T207 Lowdermilk Cycle (although the one in the last auction had a bit more eye appeal).

Lot # 255: 1910 E93 Standard Caramel Honus Wagner
Can anyone explain the grade on this one? Big gash above Wagner's shoulder that presents as paper loss. Yet the card is still graded a 4?

Very strange. Wonder if it was damaged while it was being slabbed, and they just shrugged their shoulders.
|
#23
|

|

That, or a grader just missed it or thought it was a print defect are the two most logical assumptions I can think of. Nice card other than that though.

Agreed. Interestingly, the description was just edited to add the following: "A small area of surface wear to the right of Wagner's head is visible."

Thanks Leon - all is well. Hope all is well with you also. Still lurk around a bit, but with kids getting older (one is now only a year away from college) collecting has unfortunately been the piece of the pie that has had to take a back seat. Don't worry though, I will continue to pop up every now and then : )

It seems a little odd to me that a number of auction houses are running auctions at nearly the same time the National is going on. Is this unusual, or has this been the way in the past and it never struck me?
|
#28
|
|||
|
|||
They do that so that people can actually view those lots in person at the National.
|

Of course you do. Just sayin! What happened to your bro Steven? Surely he has an opinion on REA?
|

Alright final attempt. Placed stronger max bids. Let this end early, so i can sleep!!!!!

What does this even mean and why are you trying to stir something up in a peaceful thread?
|

I am already done last wk after factoring in the new sales tax, everything becomes "overpriced".

Similar situation here...
The new 10% WA sales tax makes it tough to compete. And the fact that everything I like seems to have big ceiling bids already in place does not help much either. Last edited by perezfan; 08-18-2019 at 04:15 PM. |

For how nice the 19th Century items are in this auction, the prices are really light as of right now, obviously a lot of time to go but pretty surprised there hasn't been more action on those.

I’m currently winning two lots which is nice, but my consignment seems to be floundering. Ya win some and lose some.

Looks like it is over now.
I believe I was in a bidding war in the extended bidding that ended up in the last item to close in the auction Hope everyone participated (as a consignor and/or bidder) was delighted with the results |

||||
|
||||
It ended kind of like a Probstein ebay auction. I almost got sniped on one. Had all of my lots received snipes, I could not have recovered in time.

Got out hammered on everything I was bidding on, but my 1 "win" didn't meet the reserve so looks like I'm batting .000 for this one.

One other thing I'll add, I really wish REA's software would allow you to sort your bids to see which you are winning. If you only have 2 or 3 bids, I'm sure it is not a problem, but if you place a lot of bids to give yourself options in extended bidding, it is annoying scrolling through trying to find what you are still winning.

That’s a bummer. I spent the first four hours or so of extended bidding watching my one high bid do nothing, then jump up right at the end. Still landed it though, but I thought I had a steal for a while! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

first time new strategy
I placed a slew of "placeholders" the day the auction opened. I actually won 1 lot at the opening bid - first time ever!!! Then I planned carefully and figured out a method of sniping multiple items within seconds. I won a bunch including the top 3 I wanted (63 Clemente Bazoooka box, 62 Mantle Bazooka box and 62 Aaron Bazooka box). Just missed #4 (59 Mays Bazooka box)- can't win em all I guess. Prices seemed all over the place - some stuff crazy high, some stuff lower than I would have expected -full disclosure - mostly post war that I was playing with).

I'm not complaining. I got some good deals on some neat stuff. I would have spent more money had it gone on till 2 AM. C'est la vie.

The Midwest Warehouse consigner of 17 lots is probably waking up on a high note. $50,000 plus BP on a box of Mickey Mouse Gum
