REA May Auction: Observations, Wins?

[puckpaul]

I bid on nothing, thought it was one of their weaker auctions and I think that probably contributed to the lesser interest and bidding on some. Doesn’t mean much.

On the other hand, anyone see the prices on those psa 8 nm-mt 33 goudeys in the other auction?? Wow. $65k for Andy Cohen? Went for $26k a few months ago?

It was just one of their monthly auctions not one of their bigger quarterly auctions. The prices on those Giudeys is incredible.

Focused on the T206 Ames hands at chest Piedmont 150 and won it. Have my raw for sale on site now.

I think you delivered breaking news here. Reading these comments, my guess is that half of the posters were unaware of this key fact.

I placed 4-5 placeholder bids on day one but didn't pursue anything after that. After seeing the same cards over and over and over again for 40 years I've pretty much burnt out on collecting cards and am only buying sports memorabilia and photography now. Looking forward to the next REA catalog auction which I'm sure will have a more diverse offering.

Hardly. We all know that. It’s of marginal interest because of that.

Who the hell is Andy Cohen?

I had to look him up. Is he the guy who played 3 years in the 1920's? Why does he have card and not Cobb?

I hope they fired the idiot who made that decision back in 1933.

I could not believe what the 53 Bowman color Mantle went for.

So much for a card having to have decent centering to bring a huge premium.

I sure hope one day prices will soften so I can buy something.

Picked up a T202 Breshnahan SGC 55 for what I thought was real good price.
