Won the three items I really wanted plus one of the '53 Topps artwork cards. Also partnered successfully on a lot which I am not at liberty to divulge yet. In general I was pleasantly surprised that the bidding, at least on my cards, wasn't as ferocious as I feared it might be. The M110 Cobb,
une pièce de résistance without the resistance, just the way I like 'em, is the same card for which I battled and lost two years ago and which came a whole lot cheaper this time. Likewise I wondered why an N173, with Roger Connor on it no less, had zero activity in OT. Too much nice stuff in one auction? Too many strapped collectors in this economy? Don't know but for some of us, me included, last night at REA was Fat City.
