Heritage Wins??

[puckpaul]

Who’s buying these cards if Ryan H is getting handily outbid? Agreed, might be time to sell to them. I wanted to add to my nascent E90-1 set, but bidding on all of the individual lots was so tiresome and once i was decidedly outbid on most of them, wasnt worth pecking away to just try to get a couple.

There is always another auction right around the corner….

I was thinking the same thing. It's not often you see so many shutouts for net54 members in a major auction. This auction seems to have a decent chance to be either the peak of the insanity, or the start of a whole new level of crazy. Where all of this money is coming from is something I constantly wonder about.

There are many out there who can easily outbid me. But Heritage was not a matter of not having the “firepower”. Rather, the prices got way way WAY beyond what I thought the things I wanted should sell for. I expect this is true with many on this board - they could have bought stuff if they wanted but decided the prices got well beyond what they felt comfortable paying. As the next post points out, much of this board seems to have been shut out. That is very noteworthy

I've been having a strange feeling lately and wonder if anyone else has as well. I'll look through a newly posted auction and, if there's nothing I want to bid on, I'll feel relieved. I don’t mean there are no cards I want. Who wouldn’t want a Plow's Candy Cobb or Wagner? (I bet that got your attention.)

I mean there are no cards I want that I could theoretically afford to win…but only if I bid more than I had mentally budgeted. So, I either spend way more than I planned to or I don’t win the card....either way I am not happy when the auction ends. Whereas if there's nothing I want, there's no disappointment.

And, yes, I also won nothing in the last Heritage auction despite putting in bids that were 25-30% more than I had planned to bid.

The single most ridiculous sale, was the ugliest card ever made
The 1994 upper deck mantle/Griffey dual signed insert. They are usually around 2k. Sold for $11,400

Wow, looking at vcp, one sold in goldin for 55k.

I'm just old I guess, but I'd wager people dont even knownwhatbthey are buying

Agreed. The Mantle/Griffey Jr dual signed UD card sold for a ton.

I believe some examples of this card have been rumored to be forgeries.

I feel the same way.

Anybody here win the 1950 Scott's Potato Chips lot?

There was a great selection of E90-1s. I got one but was WAY outbid on the rest.

+1
Definitely could have gone higher on some cards but it just did not make sense
Heritage prices went crazy!

I had my eye on five for sure that I knew I would be able to get but when the bids kept going up well beyond what I thought they should have I passed

With all the auctions taking place each month a lot of these same cards will show up again later this year or next and I will be able to get them then...at least thats what I'm hoping
