This was my first time bidding in the REA auction. I am very happy that I was able to pick up an Old Judge John Clarkson for my Chicago Cubs HOF collection. It’s not the greatest condition, but it still has great eye appeal and I think it was a great value, especially for a card that has not been easy to locate (and never at this low of a price). I wish had the funds to make a run at that Old Judge King Kelly since the Chicago variation seems very hard to come by, but dang it, it is Christmas and I have two kids at home.

Only won one small lot but wow that 49 Bowman Robinson PSA 5.5 went through the roof. Nearly 10k with BP. I also dabbled in the 53 Topps signed set but quickly blown out of the water there

Some really great pickups, and thanks for the kind words (And Phil, thanks for the PM). Hank, I am not sure why the Blue OM is a 1.... the reality is, who cares about the grade, its the only Elberfeld Washington Portrait Blue Old Mill, and one of only 3 Blue Mills known to date - rarity, not grade!
I am still not convinced it should be considered a "back" - I would like a few more to emerge, that can all be linked to the same sheet, that has a sensible story as to how the black got blue; like with the Brown Old Mill, where SL Hindu switches to SL OM and they forgot to change the ink on the back. Plus, I bet we see more of these suckers start to pop up - not many, but I bet a few more people start looking at their OMs for blue ink. |

I haven't picked up much this year, but was happy to get the Joe Jackson notebook. Nice to get a playing days Jackson item that doesn't break the bank.

I picked up the Crawford Novelty Cutlery and the McGraw Felix Mendelsohn.
Tried for the Plank Novelty Cutlery to no avail.

First time I have bid in REA auction, actually any auction than a couple on eBay and might be my last. Someone how I was out bid for an item four hours after the auction ended, or sorta ended. I just don't have 7 hours to spend refreshing a screen every 10 minutes to see if two people bidding on an item no one else care about are done so the rest of the items close.
Is this how all Sports card auctions are run or? I'll get off my soapbox now

I also saw that there was an option to sign up for text and/or email alerts in case you were outbid. I signed up but thankfully I didn't receive any notifications, so I was not able to test how effective the system was. If it weren't for that, I agree, it might be a bit onerous to have to keep checking.

Funny. I think I've been forced to do it, never by choice.

Thanks everyone for the input, it made me look at the auction differently now. The REAL bidding start at Midnight is good and put in high bid and go to bed is good too.
I appreciate it. |

Excited to see my OBC mates Mac and Andy pick up gems!!!
(15CJ Cobb & T217 Peckinpaugh) This OBCer got shut out, but I have had a big year in acquisitions, so I don't mind simply watching the treasures flow in this thread. REA had some incredible items once again. It's mind-boggling to see the quality and the quantity...and the prices realized by this AH. Kudos to that team!!

I lost on the Barney Stein season pass...
But was pretty happy (and amazed) that I won the Giants Colgan's Chips premium with my "bookmark bid" from 2 1/2 weeks ago. Doug Last edited by doug.goodman; 12-07-2020 at 07:16 PM. |

I'm right there with ya. That was #1 on my wantlist from this auction. I might have gone higher if there weren't so many other auctions right around the corner.
