REA Results

[pawpawdiv9]

Most important note we overlooked here:
There was no glitch or hold and the auction DID end. YAY!!!!!

I consigned a few items and made about a twenty percent profit over what I paid, which given the state of the economy I can't complain about. I used a portion of my winnings on this nice Houdini signed letter, which will display really well in my home bar. I hope everyone is staying safe and well.

I was thrilled to finally get the N29 Ewing

Awesome Houdini piece. If you have not yet read Joe Posnanski's book on Houdini that came out last fall, it is an interesting read. The book is a different type of biography in that it focuses on Houdini's notoriety and fame among fans yet today.

I picked up two T210's I have wanted for a few years. The Pepe Upside down split back and the Thebo for its yellowish borders. REA had it listed as orange. The Kelly Mascot did well IMO. I was a low under bidder on a potential 3rd Yum Yum. That one got pricey. Great auction as always!

Jason, nice pick up on the upside down T210, and sorry for driving the price up. I was underbidder on the Kelly Mascot. I thought the price was pretty spot on, they come up so rarely!

Picked up the two Norfolk Jewels cabinets, bringing my collection up to 5 (of the original 12, I believe).

I'm really happy about the card I won last night...only way that I could afford it was if it had a hole in it!

i thought long and hard about this one, as well as the lot of them with the hole.

i know some people may not like this idea, but as long as it was all done transparently...if you had any custom card skills to "repair" these and fill in the holes, i think you could send them back for A treatment (or even restored label) and come out really well

regardless, still a cool card as it sits and much more affordable this way

That's totally the way to go!

If I bought that card, I'd crack it out of that ugly slab, put a low grade cracker jack card right behind it to fill the hole, and display it some other way.

I noticed many bidders had glitches as they kept hitting the BID button in extended time. I ended up with these two Cobbs. Really excited about the E&S Cobb postcard as I have the type 1 photo of the same image.

Great pickups everyone!

Picked up some OJ HOF's myself.

Nice haul Jeff. Those are beautiful cards. You even got a bonus on the Wright-an 1890 card.

I'm a Sports Guy almost 100%, but this is what I won last night ( went back to childhood ). Cobb's and Wolverines ( Jeff Congratulations on the Thompson etc N172's ) out of my current budget. Hope the scan works ( computer skills lacking ).

Man other than the Wright those are fantastic images!

[h2oya311]

I also picked up a few OJs. Loving the contrast/clarity on them for sure! I can't begin to tell you how hard it is to find a nice Griffith that doesn't have a faded image.

Incredible haul for you, Jeff. And JayCee, Ryan...Wow!

[oldjudge]

Those are beauties Derek. Are you working on the HOF set or just rookie cards? BTW, that Griffith is Exhibit A for the idiocy of grading Old Judges.

[Rhotchkiss]

Awesome pick ups Jeff, Jay and Derek. Congrats. I don’t collect pre 1900 (yet), but those pics look awfully appetizing.

just rookies (still).

I have to say that the Griffith will probably measure a bit thinner than most of my other OJs, but I can't complain. I would have still been a buyer if it had received an "A". But Jay, I think you are suggesting that, if not for the back damage to this particular card, it should have been given a "5" or higher...

As Yoda once said: "Grades matter not. Judge me by my grades do you?"
