I said this on another post, but I am truly amazed at the amount of money being spent in auctions. There are rich bidders out there and they want the cards no matter what the price is.

Definitely still plenty of froth out there. Not always and everywhere, but when a couple of collectors decide they have to have it at auction, and both refuse to back down, then the sky's the limit.

By the look of these auctions I’m gonna say it again, it sure as hell doesn’t look like the US Economy is on the break of a recession.

it's just that the top earners/1%'ers are buying the top tier cards.

Maybe in the past, but I know many REA buyers and they are not that category.

ok...top 2%!

I picked up 3 Cubs Plow Boys at 25% below where they traded 5 years ago, so I was pretty happy…

Green Cobb from REA arrived today. I'd like to think I got it at a reasonable (or at least not unreasonable) price.

Perhaps REA auctions can be added to some index of leading indicators.

Not baseball but vintage, finally added a Vezina C55. These can look rough, thought this was a great looking card with sharp features and a crisp back as well. Just need one more card for the set now.

Such a great example of that card. Congrats.

I managed to grab the Holsom Bread Sisler for my George card run. Also the Stengel Fleishmann. Modern basketball continues to slide while vintage baseball, especially prewar, is in the spotlight, if you can afford it.

Was thinking the same thing, was in on a few but didn't get any, went to bed late night and lost out on one of last items bid on.

But great pick ups everyone, the vintage market does not seem to be slowing down.

This was the first REA auction that I didn't think was insane at the end. The stuff I had bid on was over soon after 11. I don't know if it was because of all the other auctions going on or people were being conservative because of economic uncertainty. I am still very optimistic about the market going up, but this was the first sign of any weakness. Just my view from how crazy REA has been for me the last ~7 years.

[puckpaul]

I think it’s a function of the new lot by lot closing procedures, people are adjusting and sanity is prevailing, you can finish bidding on most lots early.

You couldn't be any more wrong. As a consignor, the prices were OUTSTANDING!!!
