Same on both fronts.

Then the clock struck 12 and the bids ran up the clock - really blown away by some of the final prices. When the dust settled I landed 1 that has been on my radar for a while.

I got stomped like a bug. Extremely strong prices paid on the lots I was bidding on, and I've been consistently winning lots with REA over the last 9+ months. This felt different. Maybe the Wagner really was a rising tide that lifted all ships.

Congratulations Howard, well bought card.

Place bid early and slept on it at 6pm EST (as i get up early for work)
Ended up winning it for my collection -slowly working on.

I’ve whiffed on at least the last 4 major auctions. Does that get me the Golden Sombrero?

Got the card I wanted the most out of the auction I'm a sucker for ugly oversized borders! Certainly could not turn down a hand-cut example from my favorite set!

AND, I did something I thought I'd never do - spend less than $100 in an REA auction. This fattie cost me a cool $75!

I was close on the E98 and T213 Cobbs - those look like good buys to me. I picked up two low grade Cobb T205’s for less than my max bids - and less than half of what I sold one for at the National two weeks ago.

Or maybe the Goldin Sombrero.

Picked up a few tough backs for my American Beauty master set, as well as the last T207 for completion.

Awesome Jeff, congrats. Those are some very tough combos

Gotta man up if you expect to win against the giddies. Rational bidders do not win in REA usually.

Congrats to whoever won my Negro League scorecard.

My main target was the W600 Wagner. At some point though, the condition issues no longer justified the price that I would have to pay to stay in the running.

You are right but with so many auctions and so many great items I will stay disciplined and get something on my want list.

I am slow, steady, and strategic and work on my small but growing collection in a methodical fashion.

And yes I have blown my budget many times for the Must Have Card

Nothing has been A Must have item

So Next up Is Heritage then Love of the Game and So On and So On.
