Goldin Winnings/Losings

The Sox postcard exploded during extended as well. Was just over $100K prior to 10pm. Now even more overvalued to me. We’ll see what the future brings…..

Remember, a spring training ‘15 Ruth individual postcard only went for $152K in a MH auction a year ago. To me, that individual postcard should bring multiple times what the team postcard brings. Photos do not typically bring what cards/postcards bring.

For what it is worth. I like the 1915 postcard from last night's auction more than the one that Goldin sold for $207K in their last auction.

Also, a 1915 team photo just sold for $140K in Love of the Game, so if you think that postcards sell for more than photos then there is that comparison as well.

Personally, I would love to have any 1915 Babe Ruth item, but they are now outside of my budget.

Hope you get one someday.it followed most auction cadences, a little different than a lot like the T206 in terms of timing of bidding I think.

I do think the M101-1 is truly a victim of its own scarcity. Very few people know what it is, and excitement seeing something different can tend to take a backseat compared to an item on a want list for years/decades.

I was watching this closely for obvious reasons, and while I was disappointed with how low it went, I am thankful it bumped significantly from where it sat for a while!

IIRC, there is like an $800 discrepancy from what the last 1915 CJ Shoeless Joe Jackson PSA 2 went for a few years back, and the one that sold last night. ($63k vs 62,200.) I think it is a strong price, but not unprecedented, and I think it continues to do well, given the potential HOF implications.

That 1915 Ruth individual postcard has never been proven to be from 1915, could have easily been 1916. My research actually shows 1916 to be more likely as a number of similar photos of different players appeared in a 1916 newspaper reporting on Spring Training.

I also don't think the 15 team postcard is ever going to drop in value, too rare and too desirable. Wish I still had one.

I used to own the straw hat RPPC as well, thin market for something like that, price wasn't too low in my opinion.

Phil - Incorrect. Going into 10:00 extended bidding, the bid was $132K which is $161K with the BP. It got 2 additional bids in OT.
