Heritage t206 Cobb

[RCMcKenzie]

I was expecting everyone, or at least a few net54er's, to post their wins on here. I would think most of the winners are on here. I can't imagine that someone who collects antique watches would know what to bid on a Jennings AB350 NF. I don't mind overpaying when I know that I'm overpaying. I think that's what happened on some of the cards. I saw some bargains, along with some high prices...Rob

Start a separate thread with your Chance and I'll post my winning lot...

I didn't mean to go off-topic in Rob's thread. I do go off-topic a lot with stream-of-consciousness posts. You could post in the pick-ups thread. Maybe some people want to wait to receive their cards before posting, and others like to keep it to themselves, which is fine too.

Your post wasn't that far off the topic. I may indeed post in the April thread but I guess technically it isn't a "pickup" yet.

Regarding the OM Cobb, I did watch that one late into the night during the extended session. It's good to know people are spending like that into the hobby right now.

Just to put this in much better perspective..... A few years ago during the really strong days of T206 backs and David Hall, a PSA 6.5 Cobb with an UZIT back sold for $100K, an UZIT BACK!.... Now, a PSA 3 with an Old Mill back and multiple pops, and no David Hall competition, sells for $80k?? Come on, really??

Any proof? Remember, Heritage can place bids on the consignors behalf according to their TOS.

If you are implying it might not have been a real sale I would respectfully disagree. I thought the number was huge but I would bet it's as real as the Corona-with-a-lime virus.

Huge number for that Cobby in a 3. Congrats to the winner. I am guessing it won't be soon flipped.

It was a real sale -- I know who the under-bidder is, and I am pretty sure I know the winner, and neither are affiliated with Heritage (except as customers).

I am pretty sure there is a new David Hall on the scene... and David did not always make (what appeared in the moment) rational purchases. Although -- for you Kevin -- he laughing all the way to the bank now.
