REA preview

[Bill Stone]

Well T210 fans this should be fun with both the T210 Jackson and the T210 Casey Stengel coming up.

Also represented is the classic 1993 Goudey Nap Lajoie, graded EX/NM 80 by SGC (reserve: $5,000, estimate: $10,000/$20,000).

I've never seen a 1993 Goudey Lajoie before!

"...and one of 19th century card collecting’s most intriguing and extreme rarities: an N172 Old Judge California League player – Cornelius Doyle of the San Francisco team of the California League. This is the first California League Old Judge that REA has ever had the opportunity to auction, and has a reserve of $100,000."

I don't claim to know much about Old Judge's, let alone California League players, but $100,000? I had no idea any OJ was in 6-figure territory.

California League cards are either unique, or at most two are known of any player. That card will sell.

Well you learn something new every day. Thanks, Barry, for today's lesson. How many California League cards are in the N172 set?

If a nice Anson in Uniform ever came to market it could go well into six figures, maybe even approach seven figures

Clearly, the REA Auctions are the highlight of each year's auction season

The auction contains more ultra rare and high quality items than those which can be found in the catalogs of the next 9 auction houses combined.

For the advanced and elite collector, there is not an auction that comes close
in terms of quality, professionalism and scope of rare material For the consignor, REA reaches all of the world's top collectors; regularly secures
record bids and pays faster than any any auction house in the country.

We are confident that this will be another record setting event for both collectors and consignors. It will serve to further separate REA from the pack of also rans.

oldjudge -- I guess that's consistent. When I read about the $100K reserve, I wondered what an Anson in uni would fetch (assuming it'd be the 'top seller' in the OJ realm). I guess I just didn't realize there was so much money in rare(r) OJs.
