T213 near set break in REA

[RCMcKenzie]

Aaron, thanks for asking, it's also why I'm asking who all is collecting this set. I was the under-bidder, and I think if I had skipped the auction, it would have sold for around $500.

The market cannot absorb a T213-2 set break. For example, for $96 all in with juice, I picked up an upgrade to my avatar, Murray KC. A collection sold by HA earlier this year in BVG holders had 5 or so KC's, but it's a tough card, or was. Murray Chicago has 3 on sgc pop and 1 on psa. A difficult card that I needed to complete a set that the general public has no value on.

Prices seemed quite low for the most part.

I'm puzzled about the Tinker that went for $85+20%. Rough, sure, but it's not like it was torn in half or anything. I only picked up the nice looking Summers because I merely wanted a type card from this set. Might be a missed flipping opportunity there.

I agree that one seems low. I wonder if the backs on many of the T213 may have turned people off a bit....many with paper loss/staining/etc

I wanted the Chase portrait. Often overlooked PCL card.

There were some nice, and tough, cards for sure. Here's my Bender no trees Philadelphia Natl (not from the REA sale - they had an SGC 10) which is a PSA pop of 3.

+1. Nice set but not a ton of collectors are doing the whole set.
Here is my type(s)

In the other REA thread, a poster mentioned that prices would have been higher if the auction were curated. For T213-2 it would have helped a great deal to have descriptions that highlighted the rare cards, like Tinker bat on Nat, or Schmidt Mobile, and so on.
