Henry Yee Winnings

[Lordstan]

Congrats to those who got something last night.

OK so it's a little strange that the guy who got shut out of the only 2 things, in the entire auction, he really wanted, would start this thread, but I figured why not. Just because I am not celebrating doesn't mean I can't live vicariously through those who were successful.

Hey, at least no one can say I did it just to show off!

Show us what you won.

Prices looked UNREAL. wow. But, am anxious to see what e'one got.

Scott,
You ain't kidding!
The only 2 things I really wanted were the 2 signed 1934 goudeys.
IMO, $1900 for a Cuyler is crazy. I was the underbidder and bid way more than I thought it would go for. I have never seen a Cuyler signed item sell for anywhere close to that. The Camilli then sold for $200. The current market value for common players, especially since he only died in the 1990s, is in the $100 range. This is close, but still much higher than I expected.
Sigh.

BTW...Did anybody here win them?

Mark, I hope I didn't jinx it when I said I thought the Cuyler might go for $2000. I just had a feeling with the way the early bidding was going.
As for me...no bidding this time around. I decided to sit this one out and pay off the mortgage instead

I can't read your post through all the smoke in this thread.

Your experience is not unlike many others.

[GrayGhost]

What smoke? you honestly sound like you are accusing the auction of shilling, as in "Where there's smoke, there's fire". I personally have known Henry a long time and he always struck me as an honest man.

I do agree that prices are WILD on stuff, but I notice guys like Scott Gaynor, Jon Richmond and others get high prices relative to m arket, IMO too. They don't have the overall quality of Henry's tho.

IF you have a serious complaint like that, and what u wrote on the other thread, you need to show proof IMO

Scott Roberts.

[Lordstan]

I didn't mean for this to be a negative thread.
Sure, I'm a little disappointed, but I'll live. It happens and you move on.
I'm sure I'll find another sometime in the future.
I am not accusing Henry of any misbehavior. The couple of times I interacted with him have been very positive.

I really would love to see others winnings.

I agree. It's one thing to always just act like an ass-wipe. It's another thing to claim someone shill bid or even insinuate it. I say put up or shut the F*** up. And if you never have anything positive to add to the forum then please go away.
