REA Pickups

[riggs336]

I picked up several low-grade caramel cards for sets I'm working on, notably an E92 Matty and E93 Lajoie.

I feel that prices were strong, especially on prewar cards.

Two and 3/4 great cards for me ;-) (plus a few). Great auction.

Watched a lot, bid a few, snagged one for my T200 set.

Bid on many, many T205s but didn't win any. Was surprised that there were PSA 5 commons, not even short prints, going for 300-500+ while some key HOFers went for relatively unimpressive prices. Danny Hoffman beat out Chief Bender and Frank Chance? Even the WaJo and Addie Joss went pretty low compared to recent auctions.

Won a trio of Turkey Reds, bid on a ton more, still a solid strong market on T3/T9's

I won the mislabeled Tenney variation. Even with the writing the NY and Boston is very desirable. Not only was the card mislabeled as "NY" it also reads checklist back, when it is an ad back!

Congrats Jay. I was eyeing a few T3's as upgrades, but the prices were very strong, so did not pick up any. But I was happy to see that T3's are holding their value (or even increasing somewhat!).

I picked up five E101's to continue my work on that set, think I'm up to 33 now. There's been a noticeable uptick in available E101's the last few months, so I've really started to make some headway in something that I thought would take years. Sadly, the Mathewson went into the stratosphere, which was not too surprising since it looked great, but I was a little bummed to miss out on the E101 Lajoie as a Nap & E101 collector. Someone just really wanted that card more than I did. Or had deeper pockets than I did. Or both. No worries though, the joy is in the hunt.

I think commons means different things to different people. Back in the day, a common was typically characterized as anyone other than a hof’er or star player. In memorabilia and cards, I define it as more frequently seen or more abundant. I picked up the Hoffman. It is the yellow second base with the yellow streak line in the background variant. It is quite rare. Not a “common” Hof’er 😂 It also has very good registration which I really loved(makes up for less than perfect corners and centering.
In the world of t205- I think we are seeing a definitive shift- overall low pop issues/rare variants/backs ruling the roost.

+1. Very nice auction and very solid results.

Great Delahanty Mac!

Jay, which T3s did you get?

Big number on that one.

[BobbyStrawberry]

No wins for me, but I'm glad others picked up some good stuff. I really wanted a couple of the N300s, but it was not to be.

Nice Jay, congrats. What did you think about the price on the PSA 3 Hoblitzell? I needed that as an upgrade but ended up passing.

I bid on it too!
But passed many bids ago, nice looking "3" w/ ad back, but at $900 it seemed steep.
At least the winning bidder won't need #97 next time, so perhaps it will be more affordable

[Casey2296]

E98 upgrade. Underbidder on a few 14CJ's. On to Heritage...
