Heritage Sports Signature Sale Closes TONIGHT – October 1st, 2009!

[calvindog]

Couldn't help but notice that the D304 Cobb didn't get a bid at all! Minimum price of 239K (which includes BP). The card sold for 273K in Goodwin just a year ago. Flowery descriptions worth over 40K? Guess so.

An incredible Cobb lithograph depicting his classic batting stance graces the card with a wonderful likeness of the fiery Tiger outfielder. You can almost feel Cobb about to ‘pull the trigger’ on another over matched pitcher as he adds another hit to his incredible 4,000+ lifetime hit total. Providing an incredible backdrop to the classic Cobb stance is the stunning and vibrant gold/brown color scheme, framed by blizzard like snow white borders.

I feel chilly right now from the blizzard like snow white borders.........

Congratulations to Heritage on a great auction. Some nice prices on sports & nonsports alike...........

So I see a few things didn't meet reserve, or sell otherwise. The green Harringtons didn't sell for the 40k bid. I am speechless.

You needed that card for your type card collection, Leon. Maybe my eyes are deceiving me. Did bidding for the green Harrington actually reach $10000 before they revealed the reserve?

Wes- I have some type cards that are just as rare, and probably more desirable (I am biased), and would be clicking my heels with glee at half that price. I do think it hit 10k or 12k before a reserve was known. Regardless, I thought it had a 40k real bid and that was the estimate, so I was thinking it sold...then I saw this morning it didn't? I don't know how that could happen.....house bid maybe?? I might contact Chris and at least get a clarificiation on it...

That just seems like so much money for a card like that. How many green Harringtons are out there? I believe Dan McKee and Brian McQueen had some before.

I know Brian has one and I am not sure about Dan'o......but like I say, I have at least a few dozen anomolies just as rare. I am trying to remember if that player was the chase card and there are only a few known to complete the set? If not, and it's only a different color, it would make the reserve of 40k and bid of 40k, all the more interesting.....

I did look at most other prices they got and most seemed fairly in line with the market......some went high and others not as much. This Heritage auction was their best and congrats to them on a great one.....

The green Harrington had a 40,000 reserve price. I'm sure i will recieve a phone call shortly by the gentleman who owns it. He thought it would bring six figures and i was willing to bet any amount that the card would not sell.
