Great looking auction .....

i bidded on that Uncle jacks babe Ruth.. had no idea it sell for 13k
I think the other Babe 517 sold for 1k (i believe)
However, i tried my luck on a coin and won it.
I like this LIVE auction thing....Sanco gots me hooked on theirs.

I tried for the Uncle Jack's Ruth also, but bids quickly spiraled out of control for me. I was hoping to try for a color run, but with these prices, I'll just have to be satisfied with my trimmed copy.

The live auction process was pretty interesting also. I didn't win anything, but probably would try again in the future.

I just got back from the auction---Great items---the Babe Ruth card went crazy but it is so scarce $13k---also the painting of Cy Young---the season ticket also went nice plus many other items---I was a small buyer at $1600 for 8 lots---some nice non sport items too---this auction is getting better and better---Troy is getting some great consignments----its a fun auction and they give free pizza and drinks too.

Yeah, that Cy Young painting is simply amazing. It's tough to get paintings of ball-players with that much eye appeal any more. What did it go for? Without looking, I'll guess $25,000

$7500. I don't get it?

Really??? I thought it looked nothing like Cy young.

I'm with ya, Brock.

Picked up an Uncle Jacks Candy Ed Brandt (SGC 4) for $225. Good deal or just so-so?

Sounds about right to me......tough set but not huge demand (story of my collection)

Yeah, I agree. Pockets weren't quite deep enough for the Babe Ruth...

Brock, you and Greg are such downers. Do I need to show you two a photo-match? :p

If it were me, I would have postcards made of the painting, and sell them at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Perhaps do a signing with one of Old Cy's descendants.

Sure glad you didn't think you got a steal. That sucker would be re-listed at a million dollars :).

haha... you got me there.

I thought that painting looked familiar. It was discussed previously here:
