REA (Robert Edward Auctions) Open!

[Tere1071]

There are two lots (991 and 1006) of 53 Bowman color singles that I'd love to own. I put in a bid on each lot, but I know that in the end, I won't be the winning bidder.

It looks like the cards have been taken down from the auction.

I've read a few posts about the joys of getting the REA Catalog in the mail so I decided to sign up for one this time around. It came today. My god - it's a coffee table book. It's incredible. And whomever posted about the smell a while back I couldn't agree more.

Several of the cards I'm interested in were "submitted by REA" Looks like an equal mix of SGC and PSA cards. My question is how do they decide which cards go to PSA and which go to SGC?

For example, there are 2 1933 Goudey #144 Ruths. The lesser one was submitted by REA to PSA and the better of the 2 to SGC. Why not both to PSA or both to SGC? I'm just looking for thought process here.

Also 1914 Cracker Jacks. Many submitted by REA. Some to PSA, most to SGC.

Looking forward to reading input on this.

PSA has qualifiers (OC,MC,MK, etc) that could detract from the final price, while SGC doesn't use qualifiers. I don't know if the cards in question have flaws or not, but this could be one reason.
