REA results

I'm kind of curious about https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...e?itemid=98808.

I get that Series 8 is the hardest for T210 but nearly $2000 for an SGC 1.5 is more than I am used to seeing for any T210 that is not a well-known player. Is it because he played in the major leagues (pitching for both the Dodgers and the Pittsburgh Rebels of the Federal League)? Or did someone just really want a Series 8?

I assume this is an anomaly and doesn't mean a Series 8 graded 5 or higher would be a $10K card.

Note: I neither consigned or bid on this lot. Just watching it as a type collector and wondering if there are any types left that are affordable.

That T205 with yellow elephant definitely got its price pumped after being mentioned on this board. Congrats to the consignor!

Agreed, BUT I'm still looking for one, too!

Anyone got one available????

T206 Stone PSA 5 Piedmont 350 … $1440

What am I missing here? Is it the caption letter residue that got people excited?

There were definitely some head scratchers on less than rare T206 backs.

Badly off centered & a diamond cut too

I was able to land the T205 Johnson. I’ve been wanting one for a while. With the price hikes, I’m regulated to lower grade. I liked the way this one presents, so I figured I’d better do it now so before I’m priced out completely. An overpay today for a bargain tomorrow? Hopefully.

I was following that Walter Johnson. Really strong centering. Solid buy!

Congrats! Great card. I was bidding on it early on.

Nice card Dean.

Yep.. at the consigner’s Benefit and at my expense. When I saw the Net54 post, I knew it cost me 4 figs. 😆 I am still happy with the price I paid. I was going much higher. But man…

It is def a great addition to my Master set and matching Paul Thompson Type 1 photo archive. One more crossed off the never ending list.

I was most surprised at a Sanella Ruth in SGC 4 for $3600 - that was a shocker for me!

Yeah, that makes absolutely zero sense.

Yep....I think people get caught up in the moment. They could have picked up a Sanella 4.5 in Ebay this month for $961 or an SGC 5.5 in Jan for $1,150.

There were a few relative bargains to be had. I was happy to get this T3 Kid Elberfeld and some mid-grade post war cards at reasonable prices.

Very nice pickup and great match.

Paid strong price but got what you wanted

Congrats

CONGRATS on the Collins - Yellow Elephant, too! My search continues, I guess, at a higher price point now...

Shoulda, woulda, coulda....

[BobbyStrawberry]

I can't figure this one....is it the rarity of the front/back combo?

[Rhotchkiss]

$2400 was not enough for me to get a D304 Otis Crandall PSA 4 (Butter Krust). Whoever beat me out, enjoy it; I will get the next one for half the price.

Prices are really surreal. After every auction closes I get so tempted to just consign everything! But I would miss the cards too much. And, who do you consign too?! Every auction sets records, regardless of AH.

Sucks it got called out. For what it's worth - I'd say still a great price. Superb example!

I thought maybe someone that knows T210s better than I would answer, but I guess not. That’s a tough card to be sure, but past sales do not predict that price in my mind. It was flying from the start, though. I guess a couple guys really needed it. I put in a marker bid at the start, but did not follow up. Too rich for me.

[DeanH3]

Thanks Ian, Chad and Phil. Such a tough card to find with any semblance of reasonable centering.

[molenick]

Regarding the T210, I thought it was high when it went to $650 on the first day. I don't like to comment on bidding while a lot is still open, so I waited until the auction was over to say anything (and it got a lot higher on the last day). Every bid starting at $100 was outbid immediately, so someone put in a maximum bid and I don't think it ever got topped.

I paid less for the Dahlen Brooklyn variation than the Prince of Wales (Hi Charles, how is the family?) backed copy. I figure I got a bargain.
Also snagged the '34 Goudey Dean and '52 Topps Hodges.
