REA amazing auction

[Yoda]

REA has a habit of listing multiples of top cards in their auctions. Back in the 90's when the discovery of 5 Cobb backed red portraits was consigned, they auctioned off all of them rather than spread them out over several auctions. I believe that was Rob Lifson's selling philosophy and presume the consignor had no objections.

I consigned 4x items into this year's Fall auction... fun if any wind up being won by Net54 members!

My single weak consignment has already gotten four bids, so I am happy.

There are some extraordinary cards in this auction. I have my eye on one or two I would like to own but doubt I will bid enough to win them.

Mike, I agree, I would have liked to go after one of the 1914s.

Good luck with your listings. I have a nice consignment of 176 autographed cards-mostly Baseball & full of Hall of Famers, spanning1952 Bowman to '78 Topps:

Hi John, I hope you are well.

I bought 2 of the 5 Cobb backs in that auction. If memory serves me correctly that auction was almost at the same time as the Barry Halper auction and the Halper sale had a 1914 Baltimore News Ruth and it sold for $40k. It was not in a slab but I recall it was in decent condition as far as the condition of known cards from that issue.
