Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>I'm still thinking about one more bid on a lot or two. I'm sure the thing will end while I'm trying to decide, and about 5 seconds later I'll be just certain I should have made both of them. In fact, I just about fell over when I saw this thread on the index list, thinking it had ended while I was checking email and catching up on some work.<br /><br />Joann

Posted By: <b>Cat</b><p>Since I would like to leave the house at some point, I called REA at 8:18 EST to establish some call backs and the gentleman on the phone said that they were still getting a lot of bids...so I think it is far from over. They were still getting many bids per minute. I have high bids on two items and I also have one item consigned. I wish it would end right this minute and I would be very happy.

REA: Congrats to everyone...How'd everyone do?
 

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>Is there any way at all to tell which lots in the auction are still being fought over? I haven't seen any of the early-page premium items move in awhile, and nothing I had bid on has moved since the extended period started.<br /><br />J

REA: Congrats to everyone...How'd everyone do?
 

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>Right - I've been checking Bid History any and all that I think may have moved. I just always wish there was a feature where you could see which, of all lots, are the ones that got bids within the last 15 minutes to keep it open another 15 minutes. It might be stuff in the Americana section that is getting the ongoing bids. I was trying to avoid hunting around through individual auctions. Mainly, I think it would be kind of fun to watch some late-inning fights over items, instead of watching my few just sit there.<br /><br />J

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>Yes, Joann, here is the outline of that episode from Burns' work onbaseball:<br /><br />Inning One, "Our Game", looks at the origins of baseball in the 1840s and takes the story up to 1900. Burns refutes the myth that Abner Doubleday invented baseball in Cooperstown and traces its roots instead to the earliest days of the nation — there are records of a game called "Base" played at Valley Forge. (This is where they show the book and mention it)

Posted By: <b>FYS</b><p>"Yes, Joann, here is the outline of that episode from Burns' work onbaseball:<br /><br />Inning One, "Our Game", looks at the origins of baseball in the 1840s and takes the story up to 1900. Burns refutes the myth that Abner Doubleday invented baseball in Cooperstown and traces its roots instead to the earliest days of the nation — there are records of a game called "Base" played at Valley Forge. (This is where they show the book and mention it)"<br /><br />Rounders is a children's game in England. That was certinaly played well before Mr. Doubleday. Baseball, a combination of cricket and rounders, can be argued when it truly started. It certainly was played before Cooperstown, but that gets into the official introduction vs. unofficial playing. <br /><br />So Cooperstown is likely the birthplace of organized baseball. The true origin is up for debate, but probably goes back to the 1600's. <br /> <br />

Posted By: <b>Julie Vognar</b><p>JC--gimmie a break--you told me if you'd gotten home half an hour earlier, you would have bid 6000 on that card on eBay (the Oshkosh)--but you didn't so I got it for 3! (or less--one snipe!). <br /><br />I couldn';t BELIEVE what some guys paid for some of my cards.. fu**ckin incredible. But most of the OJs went for less than I paid...I don't understand--it's my favorite set. On the expensive N162s, I just about broke even. The CJs--I nearly dropped DEAD; of course, I bought them a long time ago. The Hassen triple Folders, too---8 and 2 graded lots--SO MUCH DOUGH...<br /><br />I'm watching a gorgeous DBD (from Target) on my fixed Toshiba...hot dog! Sounds's good, too. After trying 2 from Amazon and one from Barnes and Noble--all stinkers, and 3 rented ones, I'd about given up.<br /><br />"One more chain I break..."

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>Julie- the prices on OJs confirmed my post and that of another poster a few weeks ago who said that the prices on OJs are dropping.

Congrats on the other prices though.<br />Bob

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>I think the perceived "weakness" in OJ pricing is due to the cards not lending themselves to condition and slabbing mania. This makes comparisons difficult. The Anson did pretty well; so did the McPhee and the Hoy. Anything with a robust, clear photo with good contrast will command a premium, perhaps higher than the last trade.<br /><br />Weakness in pricing, if there is any, is manifest in poor looking and overgraded cards.

REA: Congrats to everyone...How'd everyone do?
 

Posted By: <b>Julie Vognar</b><p>there was one lot of 5 OJs, including a rare and nicely photographed Hoy, a great photo of Hamilton, and a very nice Thompson--and a couple more--that I paid an AVERAGE of 2.5 for, and --someone on this board, I'm glad to say!--got them for a little over 5K. And then a couple of Hassen triple Folders, commons--go for God knows how much, because PSA was nice enough to slap an "8" on them...I hate those grading companies.<br /><br />So OJs are coming down, huh? They're still my favorite set...<br /><br />I guess my SGC 84 Dummy Hoy, which went for between 3-4K, put to rest the idea, now in the price guide for 2 years, that near-mint Hoys go for 6,500...I never did pay anywhere near that much, and I didn't expect this one to fetch that much.<br /><br /><br /><br />AND HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL&lt; MM&lt; HAVING TO SELL ALL MY CARDS? DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU THAT I MIGHT MISS THEM A LITTLE BIT? GO SIT ON THEM; IF YOU DIDN'T WANT THEM, WHY"D YOU BID ON THEM?
