Leon, do you mean that's the only Brown Lenox in existence on the back of a Cobb ? Not that it matters to me, it was out of my price range two weeks ago.

Goodwin Auctions wrote those descriptions. I merely cut and pasted some of them to spruce up the post/thread. I would guess they mean it is in fact the only Brown Lenox of that variety of Cobb (known) but you would need to ask them. LL

Some great stuff, I had bids in on many, now down to a few and hanging on for dear life. We'll see!

[CW]

Cool.... the card I'm shooting for wasn't mentioned in the auction highlights (whew!).

Good luck everyone (although luck will probably have little to do with it).

[packs]

I have a bid in. Here's to hoping.

[Runscott]

Wow. Still some good prices (low) on some very rare cards.

I'm very surprised the Green-Joyce Ruth is so low - given that it's unique, it's got to get up in the $80K range, right?

[Seiklis]

Well I didn't get any challenges on my T216 poke bid on Sweeney, kinda surprised I ended up with it.

G luck to the people in extended, hope it doesn't go too late for ya

Congratulations, Jack. It was very difficult to resist some of the cards in tonight's auction. In particular, I love the Kalamazoo Bats 'in action' card, the blank-back T216 Cobb, and the Kotton Cobb.

As I do every time they come up, I priced out the T206 'near set' (and I use the word 'near set' very loosely, as I really don't think leaving out that many major HOF'ers leaves the grouping with 'near set' credentials), and with the BP it's already close to retail. I don't get it.

Those Drum prices are

[MVSNYC]

Chris- whole new world, it seems...those SGC "A" Drums were selling for around $700 a few years ago...and PSA 1's for that much money? incredible. glad i got my PSA 2 Street several years back.

Drums were too high for me days ago. Great cards though. Bigfish on the East Coast puts in his final bids on the way to work at 5:30 AM est. Probably the way to do it. I'm still in the running for some overlooked cards. Good luck to y'all.

You ain't lying, those drum prices are f*cking stupid.....I'm sorry but I would never lay down those prices for those particular cards......3 people are going to end up getting their asses worked over when the dust settles on these cards.....pure silliness all the way around.

[AMBST95]

I hate it when I fall asleep at 1:30 and wake to find someone outbid me at 1:50! Uggghhh!!

[mrvster]

+1 .....Drums "A" should be at $2000 tops now..... I t only takes a few with stupid money to crank up the market on the rarer backs....look at red hindus(lenox is inmho almost a tuf)!!another few whales are obviously hunting them down...These 2 backs(drum and red hindu) are very skewed inmho, like Hindu brown pricing is also...I think whomever won the BB laffy got a great price, I don't believe the writing on the back was a period printer note, but actually in this case kept the price low, the only known example southern leaguer bb, is a 4k + card...I sat out on all of them....

the krugs went about right for a tweener scrap...could've went a little higher



brown lenox cobby


any lucky winners??

[MVSNYC]

Looks like i won the McGraw Lenox...considering how rare backs have gone thru the roof, i think this is a steal. a HOFer at a 'common' price. i'm very happy.

Hi,

Well, I finally did it. It only took me putting up a second and third mortgage on the house, scheduling an appointment to sell a kidney and a half next Monday, breaking open my childhood penny jar, heavy drinking, consulting an attorney regarding my upcoming divorce, and going to a casino with all my savings and betting on black several times in a row, but I did it with a minor $43000 or so. I now own three Drums. Wait, no, I forgot, my crazy bids of appx 5k on either an authentic or PSA 1 drum weren't even in the ball park. (I didn't bid on the Seymour for a board member).

What BS, first someone pays over 8500 for an authentic drum that looked like my kid found some scissors and thought it looked prettier with less edges, and then stuck the card to the bottom of his shoes with gum then ran around outside in the mud for several days. So now every drum is worth that or even a silly 24k? IMHO, People like this ruin an industry because it's probably only about money to them seeing as odds are these cards will hit the market again in another few years. Maybe I'm wrong and some diehards got them to keep forever, and good for them if so, but the prices are utterly stupid right now seeing as those authentics were worth maybe 1-2k on any day before these last two Goodwin auctions it makes it tough for collectors that don't have bottomless incomes to compete.

Off my soapbox

Jared

[ullmandds]

Shocking prices on t206...whats new! Some steals on potentially uber tough t216 "scraps"...minos...im happy to have won the blank backed t216 crawford.

As the old saying goes.....some people just have more money than brains....and in this case....it's very much true. Whoever won these cards better put them in a collection where they'll remain for a very, VERY long time as they're gonna be hard pressed to find another dumb f*ck like themselves to fork over that much money for those particular cards again. Happens all the time, morons who WAY overpay, decide they don't want it anymore, then hope to find another moron who will do the same, lol.......9 times out of 10, they end up taking the huge loss on resale. Always gives me a chuckle every time

[atx840]

Master set builder?

This Seymour RH went realy strong as well.

Auction

[Blunder19]

well for me.. he fits right in here....
(Maybe I should sell my BL460... with the drum price I figure the BL460 will be a $50K card)
