Posted By: MVSNYCthat card was pulled from Mastro's last year... Rob mentions that it looks suspect, and apparently it was resubmitted for review and PSA stands behind it... there is too much in this auction, it is amazing.

Posted By: robI guess I could have read the desription, thanks Michael. At least I know my memory is not lost.

Posted By: peter ullmanwow...f#$%k'in amazing! It's funny to see a card that used to be mine in there...maybe I'll buy it back for 10x what I paid!!! pete in mn

Posted By: James Feagin$20 million? James

Posted By: MVSNYCi know what you mean... the 1919 game 1 stub used to be mine... looks like the current owner is selling it to fund the purchase of some E107's. <img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: David RGreat stuff! I noticed a card graded by SCD in the auction. Why wouldn't they cross it to PSA or SGC? And if they tried and it was rejected, should that be disclosed or only if you ask?

Posted By: Joe D.I will be bidding for sure. I am definitely getting the frying pan over my head when this auction is over. I may have to sleep at Sarno's.

Posted By: Jeff LichtmanJoe, no chance. Mike already told me that due to his planned spending in REA he will be forced to move from his NYC double-wide into a single.

Posted By: MVSNYCno worries, i have it all figured out guys... Joe- move into my place, that's fine...you're allowed to bid. Jeff- you are NOT allowed to bid, and you are finally buying a new apartment, and i'm moving into your place! ...seriously, this auction is gonna cost us ALL a ton...

Posted By: BRIANKW Hi Jeff, Michael told me he was setting up his double-wide in the park in front of you're apartment... He said that you were paying the power bill and that he was handling the water. He has great furniture, but I may have to send him a frig.... Be well Brian PS when you eat out every night you don't need a stove..

Posted By: quani think i've used up all the spots on my "watchlist"...and i'm only on page 5...so seeck! p.s. seems like half the total pop of t206 magies are in this auction...but no plank <img src="/images/sad.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: barrysloateI think I counted three Magies, five Demmitts and five O'Haras. Are people selling?

Posted By: AlanAll I can afford is the catalog <img src="/images/sad.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: peter ullmanwhat about all of the joe jacksons?

Posted By: Jim DaleThink one just hit ebay in a BIN situation - $30k...all yours.

Posted By: quankravitz is the jackson holmes/holmes the same that was on ebay late last year? i figure you prolly saved the scans.

Posted By: barrysloateI know Peter- it's not only the rarities in the auction, but the multiples of each rarity. And my auction closes 12 days after REA. I think I better roll up my sleeves.

Posted By: Jon CanfieldLove the auction and love REA, however I don't quite think Lot 319 (Piedmont Pack w/ card) is all it is purported to be. I may be wrong and would love to be convinced I am wrong, however the pack is purported to be recently opened with Herman Armbruster of St. Paul inside. When looking at the pack, however, I noted that the pack was a 12 count with L&M printing on the bottom and no "successor" language at all. My problems with the pack are as follows: 1.) ATC was split up in 1911. Piedmont packs could not possibly have been printed with LM on the bottom until after the split. 2.) The first Piedmont packs to be printed stated L&M, successor to ATC - this pack does not have the successor language. 3.) It is a 12 count pack - I have only heard / seen cards being packaged in 10 count cig packs. 4.) I believe Armbruster is a 350 only series (but please correct me if I'm wrong). If this is the case, wouldn't the release of the card be more in tune with summer of 1909, winter 1910 - a full year before ATC was split into L&M? 5.) It's hard to see the tax stamp but it does not appear to be the correct series/year for the T206 issue. All of these facts, while not conclusive, leads me to believe that this pack couldn't have contained a card. With a minimum bid of $500, I can't help but wonder whether a card worth maybe $150-$200 has been placed in a pack to make it a more valuable piece. I would welcome any evidence proving me incorrect but as a collector of these packs, something is fishy here… Here is the description: “This is an original pack of Piedmont cigarettes (Factory 25, Dist. VA.) dating from the era of T206 tobacco cards! This was originally purchased by our consignor as an unopened pack. He wanted the thrill of opening an original T206 pack and actually was successful in doing this. We would not recommend anyone purchasing packs to try this! Not only could this be very expensive, but so many of the tobacco packs that are represented as being from the T206 era are, in fact, not T206 packs, are often not even from the correct era, and do not even include a card. Even if one found a pack that was believed to have a T206 card, so many different sets were issued in the 1910 era, one could easily be disappointed and wind up with a flag or a fish card, or a card from some other nonsport tobacco-card set. This is a real T206 pack, one that has been confirmed with 100% certainty. The pack has been opened and inside was discovered the T206 baseball tobacco card, as hoped and expected. Over the years we have seen many empty boxes, but do not recall seeing an unopened 1910-era Piedmont cigarette pack. The good news is that it was a baseball player inside the pack, and this pack shows us precisely how cards were packaged in Piedmont cigarette boxes, with the card well protected from the tobacco by a protective interior lining. The bad news is the pack did not contain a Cobb, Mathewson, Johnson, or Wagner, but a minor league player by the name of Herman Armbruster of St. Paul. Aside from the consignor peeking at the card, and our pulling it partially out to properly identify the player, this card has never been touched by human hands! It is miraculous to actually see a Nr/Mt card inside the pack exactly as issued in 1910. Even though the pack was already opened, it was still very exciting for us to reopen the pack and see the card inside. Occasionally empty boxes that once held T206s surface, but this is in a whole different league. The pack was originally purchased encapsulated and graded by GAI as an unopened pack in NM 7 condition, and the GAI holder (seal broken) accompanies. This would be a fascinating and exciting item for both a T206 or unopened-pack collector. Reserve $500. Estimate (open).”

Posted By: James FeaginThere's so much stuff in this auction that I think there will be some great deals to be had. With that said, any bidding partners for lot #558 Tattoo Orbit complete set? Paging Ken Cohen....Paging Ken Cohen....

Posted By: Dan Kravitzquan- I think it is. The guy made a huge mistake by not crossing it over and I did too. What do you think it will sell for? When you get a chance, email me dan@chiprop.com

Posted By: Jason Land the comments here, I would hazard a guess that we are seeing a fair amount of "cashing out" of this market for right now by some strong hands. Hal's sales last year represented the market peak/top. This is truly ridiculuous, and I would recommend everyone stay away <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: KyleAwesome... I can't believe the descriptions. Here's a very interesting read: <a href="http://bid.robertedwardauctions.com/bidplace.aspx?itemid=10052" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://bid.robertedwardauctions.com/bidplace.aspx?itemid=10052</a>

Posted By: Jay`Does anyone have a picture of the Holmes to Homes Jackson from when it appeared on Ebay? It sure looks nicer now than how I remember it.

Posted By: Jeff LichtmanThere is one lot in REA that, unless something in Mastro floors me and I am forced to spend all of my money there, I will not go home without.

Posted By: Dan KravitzRed Hindu Chase?

Posted By: Jeff LichtmanOh, that too. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> Actually it's a much more expensive lot but you'll have to torture me to get it out of me -- don't get any ideas. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: Joshua SeidlerAll I have to say is "Unbelievable" I think this is the best one I have ever seen! I have 3 items I must have. Looks like remodeling my two bathrooms are going to have to wait!!!! My money is going elsewhere!

Posted By: DDDid the value of all of the other E90-1 Jackson's just go up? There is no legitimate PSA 7, and that was the highest graded copy.

Posted By: Dan KravitzI guess I'm alone in saying that this auction doesn't "WOW" me like it has in the past. I think REA has had much stronger material in previous auctions. There are a few lots that are very interesting, and I will be a strong bidder, but it seems as if most premier/quality/scarce cards have dried up. Is anyone else tired of seeing t-206's, or just me? Not to get off subject, but if you took out the t206's and reprint cards on Ebay, there would be very little to look at. DK

Posted By: Dan KravitzDD- I think there is a PSA 8 e90-1 Jackson. Not sure if it shows up in their reports.

Posted By: Bottom of the NinthThere are 2 PSA 8's now. Believe the 2nd one was graded in the last 12 months. Greg

Posted By: DDThanks.

Posted By: AlanI guess this auction is going to bring out the collectors' "heavy artillery" ($$$$$$) In other words, this auction will separate the men from the boys !

Posted By: MVSNYCjeff- i know which one... <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: Dan Kotelesyou gave a younger boy then me a title ,especially when he is more "STOOPIDER" then me. I am the real Dan.K...to prove it the ending is: Dk

Posted By: quannotice the "?" after the real dk comment...i'm not getting in the middle of you 2. maybe you guys can settle it once and for all at the national...the winner will get this: a donruss Diamond King card from me...hah! not sure n54 can hold both DK's~! <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1206424293.JPG">
