That final price surprised me - I was thinking it would end closer to $100K.

Does anyone else think that card went really high?

Tony,

Not surpised at all. If you look at the sales over the past year, it is steadfastly rising. I believe the Ruth rookie card is on the verge of being the "Holy Grail #2", and I expect its value to continue to rise, regardless of the grade. The dollar is currently worthless in this country and many high-end investors are beginning to move their money into valuable commodities such as premium cardboard collectibles.

Regards,
Joe

disagree totally here...anyone who travels to St Barth knows what i mean...those who make EUROS should be worried, not those that make US Dollars..Eden Roc here i come! the dollar hasnt been worth this much in the Carribbean paradise in MANY YEARS and it is only getting better as we speak..

I don't know if this was supposed to be funny but I got a good laugh out of the "valuable...cardboard collectibles".

Hope everyone was a winner last night.....er.....this morning! I couldn't believe I was up till 6:30 watching my bids! I came away with 4 of the 5 E98s that I needed and was bidding on...curses you Brian on the Dahlen! I thought the E98s went at a pretty fair price other than the ones that Pete mentioned. I was astonished at the price the Vaughn brought though. I know many of the E98s were lower grade, but some of them were really tough color/player combinations that you rarely see, hence why I feel that they went fairly priced in my opinion.
Take Care,
Good Luck to anyone bidding tonight on the other auctions.

Tim,

I was hoping you were in on a few of those last night. I'd say batting .800 you did pretty well! The light is growing at the end of the tunnel!

Best,

Andy

Andy,
Yes, 4 out of 5 ain't bad (Was that a Meatloaf song? Something like that?)Anyway, overspent my budget as usual, but landed 4 of those really tough ones that have alluded me for so long- Bridwell/Red, Jennings/Blue, Walsh/Green, and Clarke/Orange. I was already way over my budget,when at about 5 in the morning, I got outbid on the Dahlen/Blue and just couldn't swing the approx. $400 extra to get it. Oh well, always next time!
Luckily, we had an ice storm during the night and school was canceled, so I got to get some sleep!
Hope you landed a few towards your Monster set project!
Take care my friend,
Tim

Brian,

Not meant to be funny at all. FYI, the same people that perceive this statement as funny were most likely laughing at the "so-called" idiots that were spending up to $50-60K on beaten up T206 Wagners years ago. There is an incredible "hype" affiliated with collecting high-end items associated with America's foremost heroes (whether sports, hollywood or historical), and the rising price tags document that philosophy. Of course everyone is subject to their own opinions, and if you disagree I certainly respect your view.

Sincerely,
Joe

I think Joe makes very valid points.

Here's what I took home as I collapsed facedown at my keyboard at 6am.



I was the under bidder on the BL460 and Dahlen to the winner kudos and congrats etc.

Cheers,

John

Nice haul, John - especially the Dougherty Red Cross. I was beaten into submission before ever placing a bid

Was able to pick up these....

[wonkaticket]

Very very nice Pete. They look great!

[ScottFandango]

Nice stuff

Did you think the American beauty Konetchy may be trimmed? Looks like very small borders left to right..
