What's NOT in REA ...and WHERE is IT?!

Rob's is the best auction in the hobby, but no auction has everything

[Orioles1954]

Where are the Tattoo Orbit's? Signed 1930s cards? Or Esskays/Briggs?

Dang you, Rob!

[JasonL]

that you finally have one of everything!?!?

B&L had plenty of T209s, but besides the beautiful complete set of type 1's in REA, there are none to be had in any of the current auctions. Even on ebay (or the BST), it's been pretty quiet on that front for awhile.

I always dream about seeing more super-rare southern stuff like H801-7s or E222's in a top-tier auction like REA, but no such luck this year.

Not much PCL. No zeenuts. Small insignificant group of e100's and some common 1909 and 1910 Obaks.

Agreed. But PCL stuff is crap anyway.

An amusing comment.

That's some Krapp! I wish I owned it.

I will say my peace and let it go. When I replied to the post it never entered my mind that I was spamming my auction on the front page. I was simply answering the question "what is not in REA and where is it". Please consider if promoting my M116's was a diabolical plot, I would have placed them in the buy-sell-trade section first followed by bumping it to the top routinely. Finally, I appreciate the gentleman who was willing to go against the machine.

I am only doing a post-1899, to pre-1950 type set now. Except for a few T206 backs I am down to needing a D355 and D351....and maybe 1-2 commons I just haven't picked up. Nowadays I am acquiring things I like instead of need (hence the 1915 W-uncs recently). If I do get anything to add it is going to be very rare or I can buy it some other time when I have more resources. There just isn't anything I like enough to add to my personal collection right now. Don't get me wrong...there is tons of nice stuff, just nothing I can't live without or nothing I will go long and deep on, I don't think. I have a lot of bids placed in Heritage and REA but they will be for resale if I get them....regards

i am waiting for Lifson to get his hands on one or all of these 3 rarities. I've seen them once up for auction in my lifetime and i regret not being more aggressive to get them.

anyway - i know it's post war by a bit, but thought i'd add this as something that is always missing from my wantlist.

[rman444]

I'm waiting for a Washington Times Cobb

How about a Mino Cobb or a T215 Cobb too?

Boston Garter Cobb?

[jbsports33]

This year the auction is loaded with cards, so those beautiful games and other real nice interesting memorabilia pieces are missing. Still some nice posters and advertising items, especially those D&M signs!

You've got 25% of one, what are you complaining about?

Leon, you are down to just 3-4 cards needed for your early century type run? Wow.....

I found the autograped HOF postcard of Ol' Hoss

I'm pretty sure you guys have the monopoly on hot dog cards.

In another day there would have been a ton of stuff for me to go after, but after cutting down to such a narrow focus there is almost never anything in any of the house auctions for me anymore.
