memory Lane Spring Rarity Auction

[Leon]

It ended sometime after 3am CST. I went to sleep way before that. I was interested in a few things but not enough to stay up until the wee hours of the morning to bid. (heck I can't stay up that late anyway)

Going into the final night, I have my firm number on everything Im going after, I drop that bid at around 11 and then wake up to see if they held up.
Too old to stay up that late, and if I miss, 99/100 that card/combo will come back around again.
That said 8 bids held up

I grabbed a handful of the mid grade T206 (including the Eddie Collins Old Mill PSA 6) , as I am always looking for centered/nice eye appeal copies.

Beautiful group - congrats!

Thanks for chiming in Ryan regarding your take on the mixed results from last night.

What were your thoughts on the ending price on your Psa 6 1916 M101-4 Herpolsheimer Joe Jackson? $50,741.76 before the BP seemed low as well.

Yes the D304 Matty that sold for $43k. If the bidders bidding that card up would have looked on Ebay they could have had a 5.5 for $15K. I was think of buying the Ebay one at 5:am. it sold I if figured early morning!

I believe the ML style of closing greatly increases prices. Extended bidding started at 7pm, and from 7pm to well over midnight, my cards were getting many multiple bids per minute. I don’t believe this would have happened in an REA/Heritage format, where you only have 15-30 minutes to pivot and are often closed out of lots you would have bid again on, but extended bidding on those lots had ended. Under ML’s style, a bidder can, and does, have more time and options to pivot if/when they are outbid on other lots. I agree that as a bidder, the style is tough. But as a consignor, I really like it and I think it made a huge difference/impact on my set breaks last night.

I was able to pickup two cards last night, happy with both and their ending price. The Cicotte is a nice upgrade to my Sox W514 subset.

[tjisonline]

thought I had the 1914 CJ Joe Wood wrapped up. Two other people outbid me.
I “know” one of the two bidders & was really rooting for him.

Ended up winning a two Joe DiMaggio signed photos lot. I’m very happy w/ the Joe D lot but won’t be celebrating the win with eating Cracker Jacks

Sorry about that TJ.

[x2drich2000]

Daryl, you're on fire with the rebuild. Congrats!

I got 1 pickup last night. I'm just glad the other example from earlier in the week went for less than I was expecting.

[ccre]

Very excited to get these 3.

Many thanks, DJ. That Evers is sharp with perfect registration - congrats!

I did and thank you. Always unfortunate imo when members go against each other but sometimes it can't be helped. I'm rooting for you and your friend to get the next one that comes up.

I agree 100%. I have had occasions on Heritage where I could not pivot and lost items I would have gone higher

+1

I have been a long long time consignor to REA but since they changed their closing format a few years ago the “oomph” is gone. When I have heavy consignments I like to buy big too and without the ability to pivot back to items, well it sucks from the buying side. Thus, it directly affects consignments too.

I picked this guy up last night. Congrats to the e105 Cobb & Wagner winners, 2 of the best cards in the auction in my opinion. I’m still in shock that the d304 Wagner sold for more than the e105 Wagner (throwing).

Congrats to Ryan and a hearty “thank you” for making such wonderful items available to us all.

[CW]

Fantastic Wagners, Jim and Aaron!

This is crazy! Very curious to see what the 5.5 goes for when it is ultimately resold (probably through ML)

I am guessing it might not be an encore performance but who knows. But kudos to the person taking the shot.

[Rhotchkiss]

Some of my favorite, former, cards have already been posted here.

Paul -- that is one of my favorite pieces. I debated whether to consign that. Its an amazing piece. Ultimately, I have nowhere to display it and I have the Patterson team cabinet from 1897, so that went to the auction house. It was the last item I consigned. Enjoy it and congrats.

DJ -- I am glad you got the red crofts Evers. Its where it belongs

Daryl-- another amazing piece. That one took me a long time, and a lot of money (more than what you bought it for) to obtain. I finally gave up the attempt at the back run once I reconciled there were a few front-back combos I would never own. Enjoy -- she is a beater but oh so beautiful.

JC -- I know you didnt win those, but I love the Cy Young pin. There are so few images/items if Cy during the bulk of his career than anything from the dead era between 1888 and 1903 is so special.

Another card that went bezerck was the E90-1 Speaker. I have long felt it was undervalued, but it went to the moon last night.

Tony -- Yes, the Joe Jackson Herp went low too, considering the rare back. That said, the M101-4/5 Jackson has absolutely exploaded over the past year, so I guess its all relative
