Nice looking #144! I think you did well, especially considering the market these days. I was hoping the '33 Goudey Ruth #53 SGC 30 might slip through due to the mark on the back, that kind of card is normally right in my wheelhouse. But it went into the stratosphere. Guessing there's a decent chance that $24k may be the record for any 1933 Goudey graded 2 or less (not counting the pseudo-1933 Lajoie of course).

I won the PSA 5 1956 Koufax auto. Only one higher iirc . I decided to go one bid higher when I saw what the Greenberg Goudey auto was at. (Gonna be selling it as I have a high grade 56 Koufax and a later Topps auto in the PC.)

Also won one of the Polar Bear Admiral Schlei and the PSA 8 Dooin Herpolsheimer (which is the only 8 iirc?)

Thought all three were steals, but what I really wanted was the Maruzen Berg which became a last second bidding war. Now that I know it exists I'll have to nab one for my PC from someone or somewhere.
I also was high on the Swift Meats set, but dropped at 4100. I can imagine that PSA 10 Robinson getting 3k+

Thanks Chad! It is always nice to get some confirmation on a purchase like that. The #53 surprised me as well. I was in early on that one as well until it shot to the moon.

I did manage to get a 53 Topps Paige. Will never finish the set but this will make a nice addition.
