Do any of you know who won the enormous lot of W600 Cabinets in the Mastro auction, and whether they will be breaking it up and reselling it? Thanks.

Paul

Paul, was wondering the same thing myself. Nobody wants to fess up?

And I was also an '0' fer in the auction. Something like 0 for 15 or so. If nobody on this board is winning this stuff, who is? Have really been curious about this. Is it investors, board members that don't want to admit to it, collectors that wish to remain anonymous? What gives?

In addition to Scott, I also take full responsibility for my typed words.

My guess is a significant amount of the vintage card material in this auction will end up as individual lots on ebay. Perhaps this is a partial answer to why the 'small guy' bidder no longer has much of a chance in these auctions.

Dunno about that either. Several dealers I have dealt with buying Indian cards from were bemoaning the fact that the lots went for so much money that there was no way a dealer could make money on them. Several of those dealers were after the N2 lot with 2 complete sets and they didn't win.

Meant to respond to this earlier--boy, a thread can get buried here in a day sometimes. I have noticed a growing trend of ebay-only type dealers ending up with lots they have won from the big auction companies and turning them around within 3-8 weeks as individual lots. There are a handful of dealers who specialize in this practice in vintage bb cards. Especially in the lower to middle condition range, as those are the ones I am interested in and follow. I doubt if many are getting rich by doing this, but there is money to be made. It is a bummer that these big auction lots have pretty much locked out the average joe bidder, but at least within my realm of collecting interest, I have a decent chance to see some of these cards down the road.

As far as the W600's--that falls way out of my collecting range--how much did this lot go for, anyways?

Brian

I know who won the lot (it wasn't me or anyone who posts on the board). The non-HOFers will be going into his collection. There is a possibility that some of the HOFers will be sold out if they are duplicates. If anyone has specific cards they are looking for let me know and I will pass the info along.
