REA Results

[CuriousGeorge]

In my opinion it is an extremely poor way for an auction to end. With Heritage ending Thursday night, Lelands Friday, and Goldin Saturday, and all having lot by lot closings, you at least have time to decide whether you want to pay more so the guy willing to pay the most gets the item. For me, REA is more of a crapshoot because you can easily get sniped at the end. In last night’s case I wanted one very expensive item pretty badly so I concentrated on that rather than also trying for the other lots I wanted. I ended up getting it but if it was a lot by lot closing I would have likely won more. And the answer of just putting in my highest ceiling bid on each lot doesn’t really work for me because I can change my mind from minute to minute. I know there’s an argument that this way is better but I don’t understand how any closing method which doesn’t get the highest prices is in any way good for the consignor, let alone the bidders.

Got into a bidding war with someone who obviously wanted this as badly as myself. Glad he (or she) finally went to bed!! Three HOFers (Rube Foster, Pete Hill, & Louis Santop (the guy I REALLY needed)).

As the owner of a nice Pathe Freres Ruth, I was both surprised and happy to see lot 804 all in at $25,800:

JOBU,

I agree. I also own a very nice Ruth Pathe Freres and was very pleased to see what this one sold for.

Thanks!

I still have Bauman, Bushelman and White to go. I'm glad I picked up my Lewis no emblem before this auction. The REA one went over $24k!!
