PWCC Auctions this evening

[chadeast]

It was an impressive auction. Lots of T cards. I was the underbidder on the T-227 Baker, i hope it went to a net54 home. I was well below the underbidder on 3 or 4 others.

I still believe you can find some bargains if you are looking at less mainstream issues and/or lower grade cards. I was very happy picking up the m110 Cobb. Yes it has some condition issues, but considering the exact card sold for just $200 less 2 years ago and the way Cobbs have been lately, I think the price was very fair.

Well done on the M110 Cobb - I was the underbidder at $6,300, and was kicking myself afterwards for not going a bit higher. Glad you got it at a fair price, and can confirm you were not shilled up!

This one has me thinking it is time to part ways with Mr. Robinson. As much as I wanted to pass a complete set down to my kids, that's a lot of money to turn away from.

Beginning of rant.

Being a known outlet for multiple card doctors (including himself) and being under FBI investigation seems a recipe for great hobby success and record price after record price.

End of rant.

Think of how random, unnamed honest auctioneers must feel! When you know potential consignors are looking at PWCC results and then your results how do you compete for those consignments?

I agree Brian,
I sent off my Mr. Robinson to REA on Friday. My instinct is telling me to sell into strength.

Good call, what is yours graded? Having a PSA 4, and seeing them sell for that much, or even the $28k on the same night makes me think I could reload the war chest, and stash a couple $k for when (if) prices come down to pick up a lower grade one.
