REA Pickups

[x2drich2000]

Went after a few others but ultimately ended up with only this one. What did everyone else get?

[Arazi4442]

I thought I put in strong bids on three different items but ended up with zilch.

Congrats to all those who won.

+1
Actually put it what I thought were 2 bids higher than expected price and still lost all 3.

I sent them an email an hour before midnight, asking for more pix of an item and saying no worries whatsoever if it's too late and you can't get them for me, my fault for asking so late.

5-7 mins later, 6 additional images of the item.

Placed my bid, took over the lead and won it, with that bid!

Now 1. It was great for me, allowed me to better make my decision. 2. Great for REA they continue to show their superior customer service. 3. Great for the consignor who gets more money because of my bid.

They easily could have said "really, now you ask for pix with an hour left in extended bidding, sorry pal."

Nice pickup on the Johnson! I got shut out this time around. Congratulations to everyone who picked something up!

Struck out as well... man those prices were crazy last night. Will be interesting to look back in a few years and see if I will kick myself for not going higher, or happy I didnt.

That said, if anyone has a 1954 Hank Aaron PSA 5 they are looking to sell for around $5K or a T206 Red Cobb in PSA 1.5-2 for around $2.5k, please message me.

Thanks,

Taylor

I as well. I was the direct underbidder on one lot, which I could have went one more on, but there really was no value there as is.......If someone got anything way undervalued, congrats......I sure didn't see it.

I "think" what I won was "slightly" undervalued.

I won the actual 1929 American League game ball for less the retail version sold for.

Like if you had a game used bat vs a retail bat the value would NEVER be higher on the retail. So found it odd that the Retail Ball went higher than an actual Game ball. I've owned both before and it's not particularly more rare. I'd say the game one in mint/near mint is equal or more rare, if anything.

That was the other thing, the Retail while the stampings were as bold if not a hair better, but had a few flaws, if you zoom in on the laces you will see the difference, browning or scuffed, wheras none of that on the gamer, and a pin hole in the retail version as well.

Gamer - sold for 1,020

Retail - sold for 1,080
https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...e?itemid=69808

I bid on both, and neither went for what you'd say is a steal, both went for about where they should and have been going, a little less then the gamer would go for on Ebay. More ball collectors I feel on Ebay then visit any single auction house. Possibly just someone out there who didn't know the RED is for the retail version, or they just really wanted a retail version.

Great PC Leon -- I was watching that one. I really like it. Congrats

By 10pm, I could not keep my eyes open (not a knock on REA, I was just exhausted). There were several other items I wanted and would have bid on if I could have stayed awake, but since there was only one item I had to have: I placed a very high, top-all bid on this and went to bed. Super psyched to have such an early image of Wagner - 3+ years before his W600 Type 1 and E107 pieces.

Same here, I actually put in a few more bids than I intended on a couple signed Mantled late. I think someone else decided they were worth a lot more than I or anyone else did. I was almost instantly (not an auto bid) out bid every time.

I was the consignor on that and you got it for a great price. Glad it went to a board member.

[Santo10Fan]

The only thing I picked up from REA was a bad case of the Mondays.

Congrats on some great looking wins everyone!

I was ready to spend last night and still got bullied around. Was bidding on a couple Mono cards, but got pushed out. Also wanted the 9 t205 HOF lot, thought I had it at a great price until a late bidder put in a big overbid. At least I got these two Contentnea cards to add to my small but growing collection.

I lost out on a few items but was extremely pleased to add this to my modest Cuban collection, and the first Dihigo card I've owned. El Maestro!

Stay well,
Mike

If you’re going to have a lone win, it might as well be this gorgeous piece of cardboard!

Beat me on this one! I could only imagine what they're trying to charge you for shipping. Had I won this, I was going to call them to see if I could pick it up in person considering the drive to Chester, NJ is not too far away for me.

Nice! Watch out, though -- I've heard once you get your first one there's no turning back.

You're welcome to call tomorrow, but please check your email first because you received a response within one hour and fourteen minutes of your original email.

Brian, there is no excuse for the extra 14 minutes- one hour is max for a reply the day after a massive auction ends

REA, hands down, has the best customer service in the biz, and Brian and the whole crew at REA are class acts. I am sure it will all work out. Great auction Brian.
