Big night. My two top targets and an OJ Anson variation I've never seen before.

Happy with my Caruthers pickups. Curious if anyone here won the S110? Somewhat surprised it didn't end higher.

Wow Jeff.
You are the one that kept me up late slugging it out for that FM Joe Jackson.

Great pickups especially the FM Jackson

Congrats

I lost out on so many items. Glad to see many of them were won by members here. This was one of my wins that I'm rather stoked about. Great wins everyone!

I’ve got an oddball 19th century card coming soon. Don’t want to jinx it yet by showing a preview too soon.

I'm just waiting to see how long it is before material sold in the auction is offered on the BST at even higher prices...

Happy to knock another back off of the T205 Cicotte run I am working on

Great pickups everyone. Special Congrats to Jeff, Mike and Paul:

Going into this auction, I had my eyes on numerous items. I had to have the W601 Pittsburgh PC. I wanted, and won, a few 1914 CJ upgrades (and a 1915 Joe Wood I thought was a 1914 and do not need). I was also looking at maybe upgrading my E106 Wagner Throwing, getting another E90-1 Jackson, and finishing my 33 Delong set with the nice SGC 5 Gehrig). But, there were a number of bigger-ticket items I was very serious about, including the FM Jackson, the Star Player Candy Gehrig, and the 1937 Ciudad Trujillo picture. I also really wanted the M101-1 Waddell.

Before extended bidding started, I rode the FM Jackson up to about $60k, getting immediately outbid every time. Figuring I was going against someone who had to have the card, I decided not to pursue the card in extended bidding (where it went to the moon). So I pivoted to the Ciudad Trujillo, the Gehrig, and the Waddell. I competed on all of them while I went back and forth on the Ciudad Trujillo. As I batted for that, I finally determined it was what i wanted the most and to buy it come hell or highwater (and then hopefully loan to the Negro league museum or something), at which point I let the Gehrig and Waddell go.

Its always fun to see who was on the other side of last minute auction battles, and congrats to those who bested me -- you paid top dollar for top cards (its what we do)!

Ended up with these T205s, both are the highest graded copies.
