Yep. I'm amazed at some of the prices

I legit went after seven in extended bidding and won six. I didn't even have to escalate any of my bids.

What's the world coming to?

Similar experience for me, I was quite surprised. I bid on 19 lots in extended time (mostly low grade commons), sticking to my guns on the price I wanted to pay, and won 14 of them! I did not bid more than once on any of the lots in extended bidding, or in the past week for that matter. This was a very different experience for me than the last 6+ months at REA, where my extended time bids were almost always topped and I won zero or maybe one lot if I was willing to overpay for it.

I did overpay for one card, the E101 Bender white cap, but I've been wanting a copy of this one with good eye appeal for a LONG time now

Nice job! I had a bid on this as well but had to bail. Did manage to get the Nadja Bender though as consolation.

I feel like the higher end HOF’ers or rare type cards are holding value well. Lower end commons have seemingly settled and few appear to go overpriced. All that said, it’s more of what I see in my small lens of cards I collect.

I was thrilled to finally complete my general SL run by snagging a Shag. I also picked up Violat, PD back, and only need 6 more PD backs to complete a sub-run of all PD back SL’ers and 13 more OM backs to complete that sub run. I was really happy with the prices on the rest of my haul from last night, but most likely overpaid for Shag.

Great pick ups, guys.

I won the Green Cobb SGC 3.5. I think several of us actually thought it was sitting low last night, and I wanted to upgrade my SGC 2.5, so I was thrilled to get it at that price. There was a PSA 4.5 that recently sold for $43k. So I thought this was a good buy.

Low, specifically for a bunch of lower grade t206 HOFers that I was bidding on. I even won one!

The Red Cobb SGC 30 (2) price seemed low

I guess its a trend that has been going for a little while, so maybe "amazed" isn't the perfect word.

Won a Billy Pierce RC upgrade for my collection - terribly underrated pitcher.

Snagged the John Elway autographed items. Those will be donated auction items for a non profit benefitting veterans here in COS, if my wife needs them.

Added to my T206 portrait collection I am currently working on:

SGC 4 Red Ames Piedmont 150
SGC 5 T206 Wild Bill Donovan Piedmont 150
Also snagged a Roger Bresnahan SGC Authentic EPDG back

Love the REA auctions!

That Cobb price was low due to the quality of the card I think regardless of grade.

Good point, I agree. Two others that struck me as low:

Lot 1200 - Cy Port Sov SGC 1 (creases, but not a bad image imo)
Lot 763 - Lajoie Throwing SGC 1.5

Agreed

There were a large number of graded 1971 Topps Greatest Moments cards that seemed to go for quite a bit less than what they were selling for over the past year or so when I was working on that set. It figures.
