Mile High Card Co, Auction Closing Today T206 Wagner, Plank, Cobb Back, 1916 Ruth ..

[Snapolit1]

Wagners mine. Hands off. No further bidding please. Now I just need to tell the wife the house is officially on the market and the kids' college aspirations have been permanently shelved.

So if I try and register now, am I out of luck on this auction? How long does it typically take to get registered?

Why not just call them and find out?

I guess that would work

I would verify and confirm and be more than happy to have more bidders if I were an auction house. I remember, when I helped run an auction, approving folks to bid up to the last part of open bidding. Why not?

The T206 set auction is interesting. They are auctioning both as a set as well as individually and whatever sells for more (set vs. combined total of all individual lots) wins. Current gap is 21k in favor of the complete set. Doubt I will have a chance on any of the T206's I bid on.

Maybe this is more common than I am aware but this is the first time I am seeing it run this way.

I saw this on another auction about a year ago and thought it was a smart way to do it for the owner of the cards as it would maximize the return to them. I think this one will be interesting to see how it goes. The guess is the individual cards take the day but will a collector or dealer pay a premium for the entire 520 set? The $21k gap was $32k this morning so should be fun to see how it ends.

Good luck everyone!!
