Question about my Mastonet Auction

[Archive]

Posted By: Joey

My 1958 Pancho Herrera error card is up for sale in the current Mastronet auction. I decided to move more into the T206 set and am planning on using the $$ to pick up more of my needs from that set. Now, the card is stuck on $4300 and I am starting to gt a little concerned that the card is not going to sale well. I have never sold anything through Mastronet before so I really have no ideas on what to expect from the card. I guess I am really just curious what you think it may sell for. I was hoping for somewhere around $10K since it is an 8. Thanks for any insight you can provide.

I would worry too much about stalled out bidding. All the really serious bidding will happen towards the end of the auction. The basic course of major auctions is a lot of fast early auctions, the stall, and then the last minute flurry.

Thanks for reassuring me. I was just starting to get a little nervous since I had never been a part of this kind of auction before.

Jay is correct. It is in the last day, and even hours, when much of the bidding happens.

I would be in trouble if it ends today because I am winning way to many lots (21) and would seriously deplete my bank account. I am sure that when it is all over I will end winning just a couple. Same thing happened last time and everyone started bidding the last 2 days.

An eight isn't what it use to be.

Congratulation on the final result. Your card did very well.

After this post, I kept my eye on the card (Not as a bidder). The price more than doubled in the last day.

I stayed up until 12am EST watching the auction and it seemed stalled at $6400. I woke up this AM not expecting any change but checked anyway and was suprised to see the final price. That will cover the T206 Johnson portrait I've been looking for.

That must be an awfully nice Johnson portrait you are going after. You could get half the hall of famers in a pretty nice grade (sgc 60/psa 5) for that money.
