REA Summer Auction is open

[raulus]

Dammit, everyone needs to stop bidding against me.

Getting tired of this nonsense.

I'd publish a list, but that would just encourage people to bid against me even more.

[BigfootIsReal]

Any one want to guess what the 1947 Bond Bread Jackie Portrait PSA 7 goes for?

I'm thinking 24K

I certainly hope you're right, the higher the better for me. I have a 5.5 in that card

WOW

Sensory Overload

Every where you look a WOW card

Many Cards/players I do not collect but the temptation is there are these rarities and goodies

[parkplace33]

Very curious what the T206 registry set ends up at. Some nice cards.

[brunswickreeves]

I’m intermittently scrolling through this auction for a dopamine rush.

My guess, Hammer : $325,000

This was a 2k card less than a decade ago. The market has lost its mind. Nothing has changed to make the last sale of 62k make sense.

[LEHR]

There's definitely some eye candy. I bid on 38 different items and will be happy to win one or two when the smoke clears.

Obviously you don't have to say if you don't want to, but are you in on the PSA 8.5 1951 Bowman Mays, Nicolo?

HA.

Looks like a nice piece, for sure. But I'm going to sit pretty with my 8.0.

I'll let someone else pay the better part of a million clams for the 8.5.

We all have limits, and that much bread is more than I'm willing to deploy for a single piece of cardboard, be it ever so nice.

That and after my experience getting burned with my altered 54T Mays previously in PSA 8.5, my desire to climb the set registry ladder is greatly reduced, particularly on big cards.

[Republicaninmass]

I believe there is also a psa 8 in the auction sifting through the thousands of cards. Should bode well...or not

[jsfriedm]

Yes, plus one at Heritage and one at Goldin, all running simultaneously.

Have you decided what you are going to do with the 54T Mays?

It's resting comfortably in my display case, in its new and glorious AA slab.

I have designs to replace it with something a little less obviously odious, although I'm in no rush to do so.

[etsmith]

I was looking through the autographs in the auction and I saw the album page signed by Johnny Evers. It has one autographed that is listed as illegible, but it appears to me that it's John Bernard "Jack" Ryan, a player from the 1880s and 1890's. Does anyone else think that's who it is? He even lists his years with Boston.

I have a centered SGC 7 54T Mays. Perhaps we can work out a trade?

[DPassner1]

I've always found within the variance of REA there are some pretty good deals. There were a bunch of items that went below sales history/card ladder suggested that I bowed out of for cash flow. The Sporting News Red Sox and W601 w Hoy went for less than half the gavel of recent sales. I also once consigned a Bruguera Ruth from Goldin to them, and it went for about 60% what I'd paid (then it was put up again, won by me, for even less, then flipped for about 30% more than I'd originally paid.)

Anyway, won the 7/11 Wilt Chamberlain which I'd wanted since I saw the first SGC 4 come up. Can't PC it, but it will be so cool to have for a minute.

Won the H572 set, which maybe has a Kenesaw Landis rookie? There are a few I'd PC, wondering if anyone grades them.

Won the Eastern Exhibit Schang. Just really like that image.

The lot of 2 panini calcio boxes, and the lot of 15 yogi berra day pins, which I know will make for 15 happy Yankees fans.

Turns out, you wouldn't have needed the better part of a million clams after all. Meanwhile, the 8 didn't sell at all, and the 6 went for less than any has in a while. Not a good night for Mays rookies.

There were a few items I was interested in l/watching closely and they all met-to-crushed my expectation:

1933 Goudy Lajoie PSA 4.5 closed at $162?!?! Amazing card for sure, but that’s more than double what I expected

T206 Green Cobb Old Mill PSA 4 closed at $69k! Great looking example of a very tough combo, but that’s also almost double what I expected

T206 Magie error PSA 3 closed at $33.6k. It was a great looking example, but a little annoying since my 3, which was very nice in its own right, only brought $29.5k in ML’s spring auction. Considering I have a number of t206s coming up in their summer auction, I am trying to decide if it was condition difference that justifies the extra 10%, or does REA bring better prices on T206 than memory lane. I think it’s a little of both.

1906 W601 Detroit PC with Cobb, PSA A, closed at $11.1k. I figured it go for $10k-$12k, so spot on. Although I think this should be $60k+ item, given it is so super rare and given what the 1915 Red Sox (Ruth) team photo PC sold for…

1915 Red Sox (Ruth) Team Photo Post Card, PSA A, closed for $114k. Another same-graded and similar looking example sold for $75k, in REA, 4 months ago.

The 1914 CJs I was watching closed within range of what I expected - this continues to be a hot set.

It seems to me that higher-end prewar (player, rarity, set) is doing well given last night’s results. Plus, REA is a top-flight AH, so I would expect nothing less.

That Lajoie was really strong, i would have wanted it a lot lower. Has a crease but really nice looking. Congrats to the buyer. That card is legendary but a little gimmicky…is it a 33 or a 34? I still cant decide how badly i want one, not enough i guess…..

The Ruth 25 exhibit and Cobb postcards went cheap relative to recent other auctions I thought, but I didnt try to bid again on those, so maybe that’s more the market than recent other sales? The Ruth 25 went for $30k plus in similar condition recently vs $17k here? One of his cooler images.

I already finished my T3 set, but someone got a pretty good deal on those lots, the images were great with a stamp on the back keeping prices down. Almost started another set! Of course those are expensive to grade.

And that would be me. Good eye appeal T3s with marks and pinholes is my niche. Already finished the T3 set a couple of years ago, and I had them all graded last summer during the PSA special, but I couldn't resist picking up four upgrades, two with alternate backs.

Hi Ryan - I know absolutely zero about the details here, but a 10% swing seems like a pretty close range to me. I would be less inclined to expect that there's something material that explains the difference, and more inclined to expect that the vagaries of the auction process, and who was in (or out) of the bidding on those days, what else they were bidding on, and whether they were feeling aggressive or conservative.

Particularly in an auction format like this, the difference has got to be like 2-3 bidding increments, which seems like it's so close that it's probably not worth getting excited about, or even attempting to explain.

Then again, it's a lot easier to be sanguine in these situations when your card is the one that sells for 10% higher, rather than for 10% lower.

[The Detroit Collector]

Everything I watched seemed to exceed what I expected or was willing to pay. Was very surprised at some of the prices.

I was fortunate to out last the under bidder on that W601 Postcard in the wee hours of the night. W600s and W601s are extremely rare and having the postmark and stamp on the back in my eyes makes it more desirable even though having a blank back in higher grade on it, would most likely fetch more money. Good analogy Ryan on the 1915 Ruth card. I was thinking the 1925 Gehrig exhibit 10 years ago when they could be had in the 5-10k range and now they are 6 figures in most cases.

Half a million seems like a pretty solid part of a cool million to me, and well outside of my threshold for deploying my limited resources.

[wazoo]

Couldn’t say no

[BigfootIsReal]

Hammer on the Bond Bread Jackie Portrait in a 7 was 35K. Based on that, what would a PSA 5.5 expect? Lows 20's maybe?

I was also a bidder on this one, but just so you are aware it looks quite similar to this card, so may be cleaned up a bit. Hard to tell from the pictures alone.
