Recent Chicle Auctions

[TanksAndSpartans]

Did anyone win one of the Chicle cards from Memory Lane's recent set break auction?

I was the only bidder on one of the cards (my only win), but other than that, there were some strong prices!

The Nags went for 19K + BP

And the Ernie Smith surprised me - I didn't think that was a tough card to find centered, yet one without great centering in my opinion sold for 2,382 + BP

I'm happy for the seller - looks like they went with the right AH because these are some of the highest prices I've seen yet!

Not saying that the Nagurski wasn't nice but I would be a little upset about the little "wrinkle" in the upper left corner of the reverse for what they paid for it. Just my opinion.

Then again, PSA 6's don't come up too often...so.

No luck for me. I was underbidder on a couple of them that went for a reasonable price but most of these went for WAY more than their highest VCP.

Some very nice cards but I don't like to set new records when buying cards if at all possible

I picked up the Masterson. It will be broken out of its tomb and placed in a binder for my raw set.

I thought that was a pretty good price for the Masterson (nice card). Congratulations, good purchase!

I agree with Jeff though, it's kind of scary to see these prices when you're still working on a set. Ouch!

Dez, have you finished your set?

My main target was actually the PSA 5 Dutch Clark - I was thinking a midgrade low number might get lost in the shuffle, even a HOFer, but I was sure wrong about that - I think like several of the other cards - it sold much higher than it would have on eBay.

Brent, nice pick up on the Masterson - that was one of the ones I've actually seen a similar card sell higher in the past. I think it was Goodwin, but I can't say for sure.

Jeff, from what I recall, the only card you need to upgrade is the Burnett, surprised to see you bidding Agree about not being the one to set the record - I'd imagine the Ernie Smith blew away whatever data VCP has, right?

Scott, I just picked up Burnett, I need to post it now that I have it in hand, but it was a busy weekend. I still need Ernie Smith, Isola, Dutch Clark, Shipwreck Kelly, and Montgomery. I'm also always looking for upgrades esp. on the low numbers which usually don't break the bank until the grades get really high. Do you have a set on the PSA registry? I tried to find that Nagurski of yours, but I didn't see it.
