How much? I should add, we all thank you for ending your auction at a reasonable time.

I know they are tough especially in "higher" grades, but $8k plus juice for the lot of 3 E105s really shocked me.

This one totally blows my mind. Never have I seen prices like this for relatively “common” mellos.

$9600 total for 3 common mello mints has to be a world record. I would have thought the final with hammer would have only been the BP of the equation (1600).

Personally, I would have gone after them if they stayed down in the $1600 range. I expected them to go somewhere in the $2800-$3200 range since they were extremely nice looking for mello mints.

Something about the phrase “mello mint” has always intrigued me - sort of relaxed me. Never even considered acquiring one, but I could see a fascination with the brand that would cause a bidding war on some nice looking examples.

The Honey Boys (especially Rousch and Speaker) went for less than I expected. Everything else went for much more than I could stand.

Henderson PSA 10 at $21,600 and Jordan RC PSA 10 at $16,800 (both include BP) were somewhat low and surprising compared to past results.

I agree, those saying the Henderson 10 went high have not been paying attention I guess. It might be higher than we feel it should be, but relative to other sales it was in no way out of line (high).

Here's a wild one. VCP average on a PSA 6 1953 Bowman Mantle is about $1,700. A PSA 6 last night went for $4,800. And a BVG 6 went for 6,000. Both were nice-looking cards, but that seems crazy.

Another PSA 6 went for 1320, but it wasn't centered.

Agreed. The pop of 10's on the 1980 Henderson is incredibly low (lots of 9's), but to pay $20k+ vs. $300+ for the difference between a 10 and a 9 is pretty insane!
