REA Catalogue Has Arrived!

When a T206 Plank is lot #482, you might have a stacked auction.

Not to mention a Gehrig rookie as lot 751. Impressive auction.

Yeah, I did a double take on that one. Amazing.

Agree with Jeff! The best REA auction in years. Now we'll see if the stock market affects prices. I'm scratching my head on some of the grades on the cards in the SF Hess lot. Here's one I can't understand.

Finally got to finish the catalog after dinner and was surprised to find the Paul Skenes Flagship Platinum 1/1 RC near the back. I know ultra modern is not the most popular era on this side of the board, but the Debut RPA got a ton of talk going in the hobby and this is easily a top 5 card of importance for those that collect him. It’s a card I could see Goldin doing a one off premier auction for and in REA there are 2200+ lots ahead of it. I’ve always had the belief that key cards will do well in any mainstream auction house because the real wallets in the hobby don’t miss much, but I’m curious if going with a predominantly pre-war auction house is going to cost it some eyes without the house giving it the Don West treatment to every media outlet that cares to listen like some others do.

Anybody else see Lot 665 and find it strange REA posted the pic with the 1915 flip? (Yes I have sent message to REA)
First pic is on REA site current auction
Second pic is PSA cert verification
Maybe they resubmitted for correct label but wouldn’t they have the correct pic to scan?

Wonder why they didn't use the same 1915 holder for the 1914 instead of the new one with all that space.

[Kidnapped18]

Exactly! With the fees PSA charges and the turnaround time you would expect and hope they could get the slab size correct for the card.

Jay, if you were the grader on this rare Hess, what grade would you bestow on it?

Has anyone received an outbid notice even if you're still the highest bidder?

Yep
Says outbid then later another email says auto bid placed
Weird but nothing to worry about
Absolutely love the catalog with Satchel on front

How does one go about signing up to get the catalog shipped to them? I'd be interested in getting it.
