REA Pickups
 

What did you get this go around?

Unfortunately, I struck out on the 3 items I was going for. There is always next time though :D

If someone here won the 1902 Philadelphia A's Sporting News Supplement I can give you more info on the rubber stamp and "compliments of" signature on the piece...

Was going for the T206 Cobb Bat Off AB 460, got blown out on it...but happy to win these two:

REA Wins
 

I was in a battle (and lost) for the 1910-Era Original Pitching Grip Photograph Collection (15) Including Walter Johnson and Chick Gandil.

If the winning bidder is in here and would part with a Walter Johnson photo please let me know!

I did pick up a photo I've always wanted (and could afford at Type III) of Lou sitting on the dugout steps after he benched himself.

Wonderful photo. Lou looking wistfully . . . watching guys hustling . . . the bat just lying there. That's art.

A few non-comma E98s...

LOVE the Lou photo. If I've seen that one, it's been awhile. I was able to snag these two last night.

Struck out on all the REA items I was interested in. So instead, last night I treated myself to a small consolation price to help with my Mayo set :)

Old Judges
 

Don't usually post pick-ups, but these two bring me to 485 different OJ subjects. Pretty sure I'm done at that number. Not much eye appeal, but the last of the Spotted Ties I needed.

only got the one card, but I like it

I had placebids on the bigheads just to see
WOW
Hornsby must be a new record!!!

Thrilled to add this Joe to the collection for what I thought was a very fair price

Attachment 619039

Great, great cards. Congrats....

and congrats to the others, too. I struck out...

Also snagged my favorite T207 front/back combo. If anyone has a lead on the Red Cross Weaver, it's the last one that I need

Crazy, but some of my absolute favorite items in the auction have already been posted... the Lou dugout photo, that e95 Cobb (have always loved that image) and the rarely seen Cleveland w601. Nice work.

Anyone win the SGC Cycle Cobb or the t207 raw lot?

I went hard after this one but somebody else wanted it more. Would have been a great addition.

Some great cards/photos posted.

Strong prices last night

I got these two: my first silk and my first Jackie Bond Bread (authentic for pinhole repair).

Great pickups everyone!
 

Great pickups everyone! I snagged this beauty to add to my Cobb collection.
Snagged this beauty last on REA to add to my Cobb collection. I've compared dozens and dozens of T205 Cobbs over the past year or two, from past sales, current available and misc. auctions.
For me, it was always important to find:
* a centered copy
* a copy with minimal/no side chipping
* strong colors. strong registration
* solid to strong corners
Basically, the best copy right!?!
Well, the unicorn (for me) became available during this past REA auction, so I pushed in all the chips. I know of many of the known 6 copies and most 5 copies and knew that this was better than almost every 5 I had seen (often not close) and most 6's. Knowing a 7 and the few 8's out there would probably never be in the cards for me, I went for it.
Pinching myself a bit here and can't wait to welcome this beauty home to join the Cobb family.

I don't throw around the word "accomplishment" much, but that much of that set is an accomplishment. That's awesome.

Bd-that’s one sexy looking Cobb

Holy cow - that is stunning! I love how you did your research and knew exactly what you were looking for before it even became available. To me, those are some of the most satisfying additions you can make and those purchases are much harder to ever part with. Congrats!!

Thank you, Leon!

Just one for me...but it's a good one and I think I bought it well.

Pricing seemed to come down a bit on a lot of cards.

My one and only win this time around.

Wow, that's an awesome accomplishment.

congrats on the pickup. I was keeping and eye on it but for me timing was not right. You got it at a great price.

Congrats

Great accomplishment!

The old label PSA 3 N162 kelly :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

485, that’s a great. Way to go.

Love the E95 Cobb, T205 Cobb and the 1908 Sporting Life Joe Jackson and kicking myself for not making a run at that one. Those come two ways which are with and without punch holes on the side.

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

great pick ups guys.. here is my only win..

Great losses JC!

Nice pick up Jamie, I was on that one.

After taking the year off, here are my two pick up’s.

Outbid on what I really wanted (the 1869 Red Stockings Sheet Music and 1880s Figural Trophy). But managed to pick up two Joe Tinker pieces, both with beautiful aesthetics...

https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...?itemid=175220

https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...?itemid=175186

Question... What's the deal with PSA's grading standards on the M101-2 Supplements? Most of the "1" grades I've seen have tape stains, creases, outright rips/tears, and chunks of missing paper. How does this Tinker grade a "1" and how big is PSA's range for the grade?

And has anyone ever seen an example graded better than "2"? Seems like a ridiculous grading scale... the differences between "3" and "10" must be microscopic. How about evening out the range, for goodness' sake?

Picked up these two N29's.
Paid a fair price for one, and overpaid for the other :)

Long time REA auction window shopper, first time buyer for me. Picked up this awesome 1889 A35 Goodwin Round Album Page that I thought was pretty undervalued.

Looks like Glasscock AG's are doing really well these days. The PSA 4 went for $2,700 after juice.

Wonder if there's been any chatter about him finally getting in. Seems like people are paying like he is lately. I'd love to see it.

I bowed out of that one early, as it went where I had expected.

I only had in interest in one of them, with my m113 fetish giving a clue.

Wow, 485, that is some feat! Congrats.

The round album is so undervalued. That was a great price i thought.

Two pieces
 

Well, i won the N162 Kelly. Thought it was the nicest one i have seen in a long while. Might have been old label but who cares when the front looks like this? Anyway, needed it for my set (full set, not just the baseball) and am down to 2 cards now. Very excited.

Also picked up my 3rd of the 4 Dukes…there were many other great cards (was eyeing that w601 Jackson as well, congrats to the winner of that), but after these two i was done.

Paul

Congratulations on Kelly and thanks for a new comp!

Picked up the Uzit Tim Jordan

Attachment 619092

Those are both beautiful cards.

It doesn't fit my collection or this forum, but the Mets fan inside me couldn't let this one go. At least it fits this thread.

I haven't had much luck in these big auctions this past year, generally getting bid up in the last couple of hours and/or extended bidding, but I was able to pick this little historical gem

Fantastic Cobb Brian. I too am patiently waiting for the right T205 Cobb, albeit in a lower grade, to come along. What a beauty.

Some fantastic pickups by forum members - congrats to all. These 2 cards that I had a go at went for a bit more than I was willing to spend:
- The N370 Lone Jack Cigs card: https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...?itemid=174635
- The J, K & A cabinet of Clark Griffith: https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...?itemid=175245

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.

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.

I had a feeling that you ended up with that Jeffrey.

Congratulations 🎈

That's a great baseball card.

+2. I need to find a new profession

+3 I just decided to live vicariously through Jeff's collection, that about fits my budget.

Wow, incredible card. Love that image of Cobb.

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.

This deserves another WOW! The image of Cobb is amazing!

Congrats, Jeff!

Wow
 

That feels like a big boy even if it is not my market.... congrats.

REA Pickups
 

Jeff - Wow! I just happen to own the Matty & Wagner JKA’s. What I love about the JKA cabinets are their unique images only seen on these elusive cabinets. Truly, a world-class pickup for your Cobb collection - Congrats Jeff!

Omg omg

Beautiful piece!

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......

Jeff, that Cobb is killer!

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

That one I like great pick up.

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.

Brian (T206 card obviously not mine...just showing to aid in comparison)

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.

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.
