Ryan

That is great insight and some good information

Some nice pickups so far by the board

Keep them coming

Jeff, as the thread starter, you are obligated to tell us what you won in Memory Lane. Nada for me.

Hi Val

Not sure if anyone wants to see my purchase

I was interested in seeing both pickups but also thoughts on it.

I think most pricing was a little soft like all the Goudey Ruth went lighter than past sales

Some rare items like the blue bird side pose went cheap because I believe many people do not realize this is the second pose and more rare so it went cheaper.

I paid up for my win.

Jeff, I'd love to see what you won!

Against my better advise but several asked but here it is

It goes well with my Asahina Ruth and My Underwood Ruth

Awesome pickup, Jeff! That was my favorite card in this auction.

I did win the Blue Bird Side View Ruth. I don't really think it went cheap, and I thought I paid a fair value for it. The Blue Bird's have never been very popular, for whatever reason. Your card is an early Ruth and a unique image. Collectors love that your card is in his first year as a Yankee. I put a placeholder bid on it too, but quickly got overwhelmed. Saying that, I am very happy with this pickup. I missed out on this card ten years ago as the first underbidder when it was available in an REA auction. I've regretted it ever since and was always hoping that I would have another chance at it. So, this was definitely a successful auction for me.

Great cards everyone! Jeff, that Ruth is amazing. Can't go wrong with an early Yankees Ruth!
Gary, great pickup. I really like the Blue Bird Ruth. Especially that hard to find pose. One of the nicer back designs in my opinion.

Wow Love it

Great card and I love this side pose better than the straight away pose version
Congrats
