Liked seeing the d304 Cobb get love-- always been my favorite prewar card. Between the beauty and how scarce it is, felt it was due for a run.

Battling it out on a few, D304 Cobb at the top of the list, M110 Wagner behind it, T213 Lajoie among others - ended up the under bidder on all of the above. Landed the W600 Clarke (for what I thought was one of the best deals in the auction) and the Lionel Carter Wilson group of 16, kinda wish I went a little stronger for the others. Some of the hammer prices were staggering - though not unexpected in the current market. There were some super quality cards in this one.

I was watching Lionel Carter's Wilson Franks set because I remember when REA sold it not long ago (intact, as a complete set, in Spring 2020). It sold then for $14,400, and I was mad at myself for not having made a placeholder bid.

Last night, broken up into five lots, it sold for $34,740. Quite a return for a two-year hold.

Congrats on the Lionel Carter Wilson pickup. I didn't see them in person, but hovering over the cards on the scans, every card looks beautiful and undergraded.
