Wow a lot of amazing cards.

[Jlighter]

Ok, I found some lots I'm going to bid on.

Now since its not "proper" etiquette to say which lots they are, just don't bid on anything.

Thanks for posting the link.

Very nice stuff again! I see the "pin hole" E90 Jax is back around for sale, lol. Man I remember when that card was being offered by 707 sports cards 13 years ago. That baby has been passed around more than Kim Kardashian.

True, but I'll bet it's more expensive than Kim K.

Ummm, there might be one or two cards I am interested in.

+1 - I'm going to be broke by the end of May.

That Famous & Barr Ruth has been auctioned 3 times in the past year. That's interesting.

Some really impressive items..good luck everyone

Wow just spent a couple hours going through the heritage auction..now this!
Is it me or is there a major auction that hasn't had a high grade Lajoie lately?? Another stunner is in this one! Can't wait'

[CMIZ5290]

Don't know that I have ever seen a nicer bunch of T206s..... One of the PSA 8's (Ed Reulbach no glove) looked very strange however. It almost looks miscut top to bottom, did anyone else notice that?

Fully fourteen of the T206s graded PSA 8 in the current REA auction denote that REA believes there is a "very slight trim" on one or more of the borders. Reulbach is not part of that list.

I'd be curious to know more about the consignment / acknowledgment of these issues, particularly given that a consignor likely would not be ecstatic to have a numerically graded card whereby the AH disclosed that they disagreed with the numerical rating, given, in their estimation, a card alteration. Any thoughts?

As long as the label says 8 i wonder how much people care. I think the cards will do just fine. Rumors of trimming have followed the Harris collection for a while.

Wouldn't buy a Harris card...not even with someone else's money. Just my opinion, but I would not even consider it.

Frankly, same goes for a Nagy card. Way, way too many known to be trimmed.

Cheers,
Blair

So far, no bids.

Blair- this thread on Net54 has really made me look hard at alot of cards. There are several cards that look very short top to bottom. Not really sure what is going to win out here, buying the card or the holder....

[MattyC]

I thought the same thing-- must be disappointing to the owners to see the card disparaged like that, however true it may be. Actually no hard proof of a trim is being given (other than what our eyes tell us, of course), which kind of makes it worse. No doubt that description will dampen the price. On the one hand it makes me admire the brutal honesty of the auction house, but for the seller... If bought unawares why not take it to PSA for buy back, as is their policy (I've seen it done and done it myself).

Anyways this auction is nothing short of amazing. So many targets! Almost hoping a few sail out of my range so the choice is made easier for me.

Matt- you're right, and there are so many extremely rare commons in high grade ( Reulbach, Schulte, Burch, etc...)

Marc- wow, I just went back to the listings and read them. When I first checked the auction, I mainly looked at the pics of the cards I needed for my set. After looking at other scans and listings closely, there appears to be cards that are extremely questionable.....
