REA observations

[ClementeFanOh]

Pete- I went for the collar last night. I was stunned at an E93 Wiltse (4.5) that
was around $150 maybe, when I went to bed. Looks like it sold for $625. Also,
a nice looking T206 Hulswitt PSA 1 Carolina Brights barely topped $1k.
Maybe we can hear from some winners?

I don't think there were very many bidders at all for many of the T206s offered. I put in some low bids on many of the lower graded off backs and lost all but 1 by only the next bid increment. I fell asleep too early and woke up around 1:10 tried to up my bids because there were several I thought were a good deal but the lots had closed.

1 OJ and 3 T206's, lost all 4 by the next bid increment. That said, I was already at the high point on my max bids and wouldn't participate in further bids even if I was awake for it (East Coast guy that goes into work at 630am over here). All 4 were bid up/over during the extended period.

I was a little surprised I lost all of the T206's. They're as popular as ever, but the market is absolutely saturated with them. Buyers are still there, though.

It's not pre-war, but it's the only lot I seriously pursued. 1954 Bowman Willie Mays. I fell in love with the rough cut, as well as the fatter-than-usual borders and better-than-usual centering for this card, so I was bound to overpay for it.

That’s a beauty! Congrats!

Ian has one of the best eyes for quality in the hobby... this Mays is worth a modest premium, no doubt!!

I made a minor pick up, loved the graphics on this and the lineup card including DiMaggio and Gehrig was a cool bonus.

Congrats to all winners
