REA Pickups- 19th Century Heating Up!!

[Fred]

Does anyone want to claim being high bidder on:

Lot # 166: 1890 Columbus (Ohio) BBC American Association Team Cabinet Card

Initial bidding had only 5 bids. It was at $600 when extended bidding started.

In the end it finally went for $2K ($2.4K with juice).

If you looked closely at the back of the cabinet, it appears it was signed by Al Buckenberger around 1890. I'm guessing that may have been missed by most and caught by the few bidders that were bidding during the extended bidding.

It was a nice score for whoever won it (I've got my money on a certain astute board member).

Pretty sure I was the underbidder... chased it as far as I could considering other pickups. Very nice pickup to whomever won it and certainly reach out if it is ever consigned in the future

Only one pick up for me it was the Sportsmanship and Humanitarian award presented to Roberto on Clemente Day at Three Rivers. I’m thinking the photo used in the listing (1st pic) may have scared other potential bidders away. Fortunately I saw the item in person a year ago and had a better idea on how it actually looked. The substantial size (20.5” X 23.5”) may have also been a factor in limiting bidders? I’m thrilled to win it as I’ve been the under bidder on in two other auctions.

Hey Mike, congrats! Great piece for your collection.

Remember that tie you found for me at the National this year? I was able to pickup a rack for it.

I also grabbed this N172 Adonis Terry.
