are you presuming you're going to win lot #3 in REA?

I was mentally preparing to allocate 10K for one card if the cards were being sold individually. Since they ended up as a lot, some of that money went elsewhere in LOTG and may be going elsewhere in REA (or nowhere if what I am bidding on gets too high).

If I do win some cards in REA, that will pretty much have shot my budget for awhile. But I voted for 10K because I like type cards and that seems like a "reasonable" price for one.

But I have a feeling the lot will go for more than 10K per card (just a guess).

Okay I will take the Ruth for 10k 😆

Should've been separate lots (individual cards).

agreed 100 pct dont get that

Unless it's the Ruth, no. So many other cards I would rather have for those prices.

I voted no, but only due to the price. I would love to get the Ensign Cottrell card because of his Pittsburgh Pirates connection, but not at any of those prices. I have other card wants ahead of it for that type of money

The high-end collectibles market is a fascinating place. The main selling point for these, as the listing reflects, is that they at one point shared a space with the Ruth card and another card for the guy who discovered Ruth.

I might want them all if I were already throwing cash at the Ruth and Dunn. But if I have a hankering for an old Ezra Midkiff, I'll pick up a T210-5 for less than 1/100 of the cost.

No, have not bid. I was curious if people were interested could a group purchase them since from what I read some people were interested in 1. This seems like a very rare shot to acquire one if this was a must have for this type of collector.

Initially I would jump at it and say yes as I love rare vintage cards and in the past I might have but I am trying to stay focused on my collection priorities and not go after the “shiny bling” and then miss that money on something I truly wanted and miss out on it(done that before)
