March REA Auction

[Bobbycee]

Anyone see the PSA 4 Cobb Bat Off in REA's latest? How does PSA give that card a gift 4 with a big crease running through the middle of the card. Must have been graded during PSA's "Happy Hour". Nothing like consistency...

[Oscar_Stanage]

well, all the weakness in some of the modern cards I collect has not found its way to tobacco. the bidding is extremely strong...

T206 Cobb portrait prices are astounding. I was quickly run over.

Here's one for the Blowout guys to go on a deep dive. Fun auction. This was my only win. Had some bids on the Pollard Goudey's. Real nice cards. Not enough beer in the keg for me to win the 34 Gehrig. Maybe next time. Y'all get anything?

Congrats. I may have taken a Goudey from you. Won two, including the Hornsby 119. That card has been a real challenge for me to find in nice condition, and they always seem to go for much more than you’d think by looking at vcp max. Guess it was my turn to overpay

EDIT: A big part of this card's premium must be the yellow background. Of the 21 cards I still need (from players not named Ruth, Gehrig, or Lajoie), 7 have yellow backgrounds. In news to probably none of you, clean yellow backgrounds are tough to come by. Part of my ongoing Goudey education.

the days of getting a Red Cobb for under $5k are long gone.

Almost: $4440 for an SGC 1.5.

Eddie Collins 4 $1140

Johnson portrait SGC 1.5 $3360

It really is the big names. Prices on run of the mill T206 HOFers were mostly run of the mill.

I am happy with this. I agree Cobb seemed very strong. So did that red Goudey Ruth.

Congratulations! I gave that one a long look. Beautiful pickup!

Congrats! I was back and forth over that one too!

That PSA 2.5 Johnson portrait looked absolutely gorgeous...makes me wonder if something was hidden by the scan, because I don't understand what made that a 2.5.

Picked up Famous and Barr Dashing Dan Costello to check a box on obscure NYAL. He had 2 PH appearances in 1913 and I have never seen a uni image. Felt like I went way too high on this but...

Agreed, and I disagree with Adam's comment re T206 HOFers going for run of the mill prices. There were many mid-tier HOFers who had crazy prices compared to historic - Evers, Keeler, Tinker, Chance, Brown, Joss, Jennings, Bender, Waddell, Walsh. It seems that currently, even the lesser HOFers are worth about $100/grade-number, with only a few exceptions (e.g., Huggins, Griffith, Wallace)

That was a nice Keeler, had a cup of coffee early with him but bowed out when it was down to a couple guys who had to have it.
