Discussing auction results, yea or nay?

First, I think discussion of prices is fine and very informative - although obviously keep any bidder/winner name private if you happen to know them.

I had a few on my watch list, and bid on a few. If I had to guess (just kind of swagging it for multiple card lots without trying to add it up card by card) at the lots I was watching, and kind of had a range in mind, every lot went for the very high end of my mental range. And in some cases higher. Nothing went for middle range (which would indicate the most accurate guess). And there were definitely no low end price surprises.

So either I am very conservative in estimating multiple card lots, or prices are stregthening so quickly I'm not keeping up.

I thought the 3 Cobb lot (#30) was maybe close. But the gouged out eye on one of them I thought was such a wild-card factor it was hard to tell value. Yep only one small blemish. But it's an eye gouged out.

Anyone think that REA coming up in the last day or so suppressed any prices? Think there were many that were planning big bidding at the end, and decided to save their money for REA?
