The Leon Luckey Type Card Collection – Bidding Ends on Thursday - August 13, 2015

[petecld]

Hi Everyone,

Just a reminder that bidding for the Leon Luckey Type Card Collection ends in just two days! Open bidding closes at 10:00 pm central time on Thursday - August 13, 2015. There is an incredible selection of items you may not see again for a long time. There are so many unique pieces with something for everyone. The 620 lot auction offers cards, postcards, packaging, wrappers, signs, company correspondence, proofs, premiums, photos and more. Hopefully there is something for everyone!

We had a record number of catalog requests. When the dust settled as they say, Heritage received over 100 email requests for catalogs which included almost a dozen new bidders to our auctions. Plus we handed I don’t even know how many more catalogs at the National Convention in Chicago.

As I mentioned, open bidding ends at 10:00 pm central time on Thursday - August 13, 2015. You do have to have placed a bid on a lot before this time in order to bid in the extended session. Each lot ends on our 30-minute clock rule which means starting at 10:00 pm if a lot goes for 30 minutes without a bid that lot will close. You can view the lots here:

If you have any questions please ask now. The night of the auction gets busy and with the East Coast National going on we might be a little short staffed.

Thank you to everyone who asked for a catalog and good luck to all!

dying to see what the matty proof and the multi strike scrap go for!

wish I could afford either!

a design change proof has not been offered !!! and matty to boot

the multi strike is just ridiculous.....I remember bidding on that on ebay years ago and not even coming close ...........

wow.....

good luck with the rest of the lots, but you know i'll be eating popcorn watching these 2 particular dream cards get auctioned off before my very eyes

It will be hard to partner with anyone for this upcoming auction.

Just went back through the auction and saw a lot of what I initially wanted is already over my budget. There are still a few items I'm planning to take a stab at, but I'm not expecting good outcomes.

[Eggoman]

It looks like I will have to be satisfied with the fact that I WAS the High Bidder on a few items for a few days....

I don't smoke nor do I condone smoking but might start if I could smoke Pirate cigarettes!

[shernan30]

Just woke up to check my bids and I didn't win anything. Wasn't expecting it to be over so soon. Figured 2:30 would be a good time to check in.

Was hoping to bring home the Obak slogans set, the E100 Tennant lot, and the Orbit Foxx card. My bids were within $20 of the final on all lots. I think being so close is the worst part.

It's going to be a very sad Friday.

I came away with 3 lots...the E92/101 Young with E78 back, the small group of E cards including an e92 Nadja Oakes, and the E92 Crofts Candy (red) Bemis. If the winner of lot 79197 (group of 20 E cards) is a board member, I would be interested in 1, maybe 2 cards from the group.

I didn't end up winning any of the 3 lots I bid on.

If someone here won the W517 lot and is breaking it up, I am interested in one of the 3-card strips.

Nice pickups, DJ! I was the underbidder on the E105 Lajoie.

Wow .... some CRAZY bidding on most of these lots! I was shocked by how high the T209 blue plates went for. I did pick up a couple of consolation prizes!

[Bliggity]

DJ, nice pickup on the Prizefighter, that's a great card! It was good to hang out with you + others in chat last night.

Jon, congrats on the Contentnea pack, I was an early bidder on that but couldn't come close.

[VintageBall]

$8 shipping for properly packed cards in a box seems more than fine be me, especially if the cards are insured by LOTG's carrier.

Any feedback/thoughts on how the sale went Leon?

I thought it went very well overall. The things I HAD to have for my collection as I needed them to fill a type card hole, didn't generally do well. The things I got because I absolutely loved the way they looked, did extremely well. Note to self, buy things I really like.

[Louieman]

Amazing final tally on the whole collection, glad it worked out so well for you Leon. I was able to pick up this one:

Great card. I was very tempted to jump in on that one. Congrats!

Mike, you got that one? Nice going.

Jamie nailed it, couldn't have said it better.

The Matty proof more than doubled since 2008 and believe the Young ghost doubled as well. We've seen a T206 error go from 26k to106k in under 4 years. It's possible the next time these come up they will have increased significantly.

Maybe just let him state his predictions, right or wrong and leave it at that.
