Dang, some awesome pickups here by the group!
I struck out on the items I was bidding on, but great to see that so many picked up some great cards.

Thanks Dean! It felt right, and doubt I will ever regret. Higher grade/High eye-appeal T205 Cobbs are extremely limited and undervalued IMO.

Made my last bids at 145am EST as sleep kicked in. I was close to winning the Big boy gallery below (and well played who out lasted me on the Gehrig) and won the other gallery which I’m happy to get. I out lasted another currency collector for the 1889 Chicago note, as my my OCD kept kicking in. The lot I’m most looking to get in is the foldout postcard which has a great Honus Wagner postcard inside which wasn’t shown on the listing. Knowledge is good on certain items

That is, indeed, a big boy group! The WaJo is an amazing artifact!

Those are so beautiful, a steal at that price!

Probably got a little carried away with the bidding on these, but happy to add them to the non-sports collection…

Managed to land the M101-1 Bobby Wallace RC and the Chris Von der Ahe OJ. Not cheap, but what is these days.

That was me you outlasted. Not a currency collector, just a Cubs collector. I've been the underbidder on one of those about 10 times.

Thank you all, I was pretty excited to get it. As a Cobb collector, the unusual and rare stuff doesn’t come around all that often.

PSA N162 Kelly
 
Old or new cert seemingly unimportant. Beautiful front but obvious paperloss one the back? Ouch. 24,000. and then some. Getting harder and harder for me to get that last card......

MVSNYC 04-23-2024 08:05 PM

Jeff, that Cobb is killer!

Lorewalker 04-23-2024 09:10 PM

It is getting repetitious but calvindog won the best item in the auction.

Thanks to all. I just looked back over the last year and while I’ve paid more for individual cards a bunch of times, there’s no card that I like as much as this JKA Cobb.

Great addition to the finest Cobb collection in the hobby.

Beautiful pick up Jeff! That may be my favorite pose of Cobb on a card and happy it ended up in your collection

I have always liked the Cobb T206 bat on the most out of his four T206 cards, because it does the best of the four cards in capturing the intense competitive drive in his facial expression. But when it comes to depicting this intensity the JKA cabinet tops it...a great photo with a classic batting pose, and an interesting stadium/fan background. Just an all around awesome card.

REA pickup
 
Here are my pickups. 1916 Famous & Barr Shoeless Joe Jackson and T206 Piedmont Tris Speaker

https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...?itemid=175300

https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...?itemid=175060

I am very happy with where my bid landed. I thought both were below what i thought comps were.

Exhibitman 04-24-2024 03:22 PM

Great stuff, guys; congrats to all. Jeff, that Cobb... damn.

I got KTFO early on the items I really wanted. I had a fantasy of chasing that signed 1953 Paige and the 1956 Celtics TI picture pack with the Russell but neither was in the cards, so to speak. If my consignment skyrocketed I might have gone for it but it didn't. I did get a little killed on my consignment but was relieved because 24 hours before I was looking at a total wipeout. Gotta love overtime bidding.

i did pick up the Kid Herman boxing set with the expanded checklist and will be breaking it up for resale, so if anyone wants any of the cards, please let me know. Will trade too.

Two years from now will see the 150th anniversary of The National leauge. it was not smooth sailing the first decade. A number of teams came and went and those that had some stability did well. This program is from the first week of First Year of the NL. Each of the 8 teams played 70 Games. The next Two years saw the Leauge shrink to 6 teams and 60 Games 1879 things started looking up 84 games and back up to 8 teams. Collecting 1870's scorecards is a long slow process. But each new program is packed with history and I am grateful they still exist.

So....Happy to add this scorecard to my collection.

I wasn’t able to leg out the Merkle Uzit and really got surprised by the Carolina Brights McGinnity, but was able to check off the Uzit for the HOF backs line with Jennings One Hand!
So much cool stuff in the non-cards lots. I really tried for the Walsh Leather, but had to pool all the cash and focus on the goal.

Good stuff you all!!!! !!!!
