It's actually kinda light on the T205s, and REA usually has the best selection of those. But that PSA 8 Mays rookie would be nice...

Agree on both counts. They had the PSA 8 Mays rookie on display at the Philly Show, and I could not believe how well centering that card is.

Rea
I thought this auction and most other auction houses have actually been looking pretty sparse these days. The important / historically significant stuff appears to be drying up a bit IMO.

Market seriously off Feb-April peak. Be interesting to see what the next 6-9 months hold. Like real estate, the top stuff will hold it's price. Not sure the middling stuff will. Speculators will move on to whatever is the flavor of the month. Non fungible pieces of people's genetic coding on a popsicle stick or something. Last edited by Snapolit1; 11-18-2021 at 04:51 PM. |

Tickets and photos in particular (not for this REA auction in particular) seem really desirable at the moment. I'd love to see more game-used uniforms. Even though I don't collect them, I love the photos and write-ups in the catalogs. Cheers! Disclosure: I have no items consigned in this REA auction but have sent stuff to Love of the Game and Hake's. |

I think the grading services backlog and prices are a big deterrent. I know I would grade (and maybe sell) a lot more stuff if I could quickly and reasonably get things graded. |

I don't know about that. Anyone looking to finally complete the set, will certainly be interested in what they have to offer! Steve

I wonder to what extent auctions like REA cannibalize their own prices realized by having, in some cases, so many copies of the same card including in the same grade?

REA did not used to do it but HA does it, often, and it does not seem to hurt them in the least.

Agreed. I would hate to consign an item only to see a duplicate or higher grade show up in the same auction.

Long time collectors trying to get out. Nobody passed away or ran off of funds and needs to sell 3 of the same card at once. At some point, the market will be/is saturated. I've never seen anything quite like 4 or 5 52 May's in a major auction house. Also, lelands, the first 300 lots are all modern. I cant believe the demand is there in an auction house for these items

Jeff, I was going to tell you not to look if you were worried about losing focus on your collecting goals! Another stunner from REA.

Serious question - Can someone please explain to me how you all keep track of so many auctions happening at one time ?

1. I am obsessed 2. I have know life 3. This forums reminds us of many auctions both via the advertisement on top and the posts when things are open or interesting 4. Auctionreport.com has most(not all auctions) and their schedules I as long as I stay focused on my collection it is a look and pass or a look and watch/bid.

I go through the auction once very early on. Drop from 0-10 bids at very low levels. Then reappear in the last day and decide how badly I really want any of the things I put bids on. Often times the answer is not at all, or I picked up something nice in the interim and no longer feel compelled to buy anything. If there is an auction with something that I really want I will calendar the closing on my phone so it’s on the radar. Often I will sort by “recent bids” on the final day and see if per chance something cool was missed. Last edited by Snapolit1; 11-18-2021 at 02:52 PM. |

Funny opening line! Funny story regarding the opening bids…i do that too. Open up or place early bids on stuff and then decide later which I am really interested in at what prices, so I don’t have to comb through the whole auction again or forget….. Soooo…I was bidding in an auction of large Gromit (Wallace and Gromit, i find it hilarious and its another obsession) artist-designed sculptures/statues some years back. You know, they make a trail of them outside at places and its a great promotion and tied to charity. There was an auction of them that i missed in the UK (Gromit’s home base) where the prices went crazy, $10-60k. so then there was one in Hong Kong, and i went through the 50-odd pieces and found 3-4 i was interested in with the intention of buying one to have. They started at $1000-1500, so I figured, what the heck, I will put opening bids in on the four and then decide…. Well, as would have it, not so much interest. In fact, i won three of them. And I didn’t realize two of the three were enormous! 5 feet tall plus a 2 foot mount. Shipping was really expensive from HK, so I had conveniently not factored that in (turned out to do in bulk wasn’t that bad…probably prohibitive today!). Here is a photo of the two large ones for kicks…. I am glad I have them though, still think they are very cool and great fun, and good story to tell. Kids love them. |
