Jim--It's very interesting that on the sheets the margins between cards are not all the same width.

That is one of the most interesting card-related observations I have heard (read) in a long time.

P.S. They are also not all the same height.

Joe D would know this better than I do, but all of the type-setting and layout for this would have been done strictly by hand and that might account for differences in variations of the margins.

I know years ago, the department store I worked for still set up and pasted up, all our ads in house. If a copy block and/or photo slipped while being transported to the newspaper, well, they printed it that way.

Brian - you can probably post that Obaks sheet as much as you want. I can't imagine I'd ever get tired of seeing it.

I think next year I need to go into REA with a bit more of a plan - some specific target items ahead of time and then a large group of fall-back items. Usually I just bid on things I like in general and see what happens in Extended Time.

I have some perspective on Obak centering and sizing that might be attributed to this. And not just on the 1909s. I might start a thread on it at some point.

There are also 3 and 5 card panels out there. I think Leon or Dan S might have a couple, if not others.

I'm assuming that the PSA 8 Ty Cobb D304 that sold in Saturday's REA auction for $80,000 before the BP, was the same card that Goodwin sold about a year or so ago for $260,000.

Is this correct?

Tony,

Yikes! According to VCP it's one in the same. How do you write-off $160,000???

Lovely Day...


Correction.... the one in Goodwin sold for $272,980.00 with BP.... Double Yikes!!!

Something doesn't look right with this picture!

Did a board member end up getting lot number 297?

i was willing to go up to 15K.. and that was already more then I could afford... but 20K after the premium was too rich for my blood..

if the winner is a board member I would be interested in several pieces.

Jeff, is that you????

[calvindog]

Don't worry, Jim, there are actually other people in the hobby that are concerned about some of the funny stuff that goes on in auctions. But I promise not to make any more trouble because I don't want to make you sad, ok?

Edited to add: And it actually sold for 273K. Sorry!

I picked up this Cracker Jack lot along with some T205s. I thought the price of the lot was too good to resist... and I'm really hoping that PSA didn't miss a trim job on a few of these.
