600 or so T213-2 Coupon cards is a very impressive amount of an issue that is not seen on a regular basis.

+1 I have never seen so many coupons in one auction. Good luck to Steve and team and all of the consignors

Were those T213-2's from the Fritsch collection? He's the only collector I've known that would have dozens of the same rare card. Like 12 T213-2 Dubuc's or whatever.

I grabbed the Baker NY. Down to 3.

Anyone else grab a few?

The T213 Quinn - Vernon went for almost 4K - I had no idea it was that much of a rarity.

His Vernon variation has only been graded twice by PSA (I have not checked SGC), so I assume it was bumped up by the low-pop crowd.

There was a handful of pop 1-3 t213s that sold for a couple hundred bucks.

Weird to see that one go for so much IMO

I’m bummed I didn’t see this thread until yesterday. I missed out on the T213-2 Chattanooga Elberfeld that I’ve been hunting for the last 3 years. Looks like it was an awesome auction!

I ended up with one T207 and 3 T205 - all low grade commons.

I'm not really pursuing tobacco cards other than those of Cleveland players. But earlier in the week I looked at the auction and saw the large majority of the T206 and T205 lots at or just above the minimum of $10.

I placed a large quantity of bids designed to get me to about $20 a card - way below what they should go for - as that will about equate the grading fee.

As expected the bidding picked up as we approached the end of the auction and I really didn't get any super bargain cards - I had about a 2% success rate on bids.

A really fun auction to bid on and follow.

Quinn Vernon is hard to find. When I had 15 to go, it was still on my want list.

I wanted to upgrade my Thomas Phila. Here is my copy. Although it has a damaged caption, you can see the name "Thomas" is further to the right than the "Philadelphia" cards. I paid like $20 bucks on eBay. It was noted as "Philadelphia" by mistake. It was a fist-pump day for me, like Kirk Gibson or something. ha-ha.

So many individual T213's and T207's, including a bunch of Napoleons - the most I can remember in any auction since I've been actively collecting.

Bid on many, but only picked up a couple ... including 1 off my long want list which now stands at 34...

Excellent auction. I was able to upgrade 20 cards in my T207 set for a very reasonable price.
