REA Memorabilia Pickups

[ruth-gehrig]

The card guys have a rather steady stream of card pickups on the other side so let's see some memorabilia wins. Solid example of this baseball bank was my only win.

Nice win!

There were certainly plenty of highs, and lows, but I thought generally speaking the prices on the Memorabilia were relatively soft.

[ruth-gehrig]

Thanks Joe! I would have to agree.

I collect T206 player game used bats. A simple Wildfire Schulte was at $7200 last time I looked! I dropped out at $2200. That is utterly absurd. It is a $500 bat, tops. Some crazy prices.

Completely agree with Joe... however there were a few exceptions. This example being perhaps the most notable. $48K might be a record price for a pennant...

I was happy to score this 19th Century Figural Batsman at a much more reasonable price!

Congrats Mark! When I saw that item when the auction opened I thought you may go for it.

Must be awesome. I would kill to make what someone paid for that pennant that said, our hobby is made great by incredible pieces of history being discovered and offered

[RedsFan1941]

i thought pennant prices across the board were strong. that seems to be an area of the hobby that has sprung back in a big way (at least prewar examples or ones that picture a specific player)

I was hoping to pick up the '45 KC Monarchs photo w/Jackie but not to be. Price was very strong IMHO.

I was able to pick up the c1910 Springfield Blue Labels Team Cabinet w/ Rabbit Maranville.

Here's a question though, why is Rabbit wearing a fielder's glove in his right hand????

I was watching that one, too, Phil, but thought the price was quite reasonable considering the historical significance and rarity--apparently the only team photo of Jackie with the Monarchs ever to come onto the market. Condition wasn't great, but as the saying goes: find another one!

Congratulations on an iconic figural Mark. It will look great in your collection. Well done

Gary and Mark, awesome pick ups! I thought that prices on the 19th century memorabilia side were very strong in general with a few exceptions. I had a strong bid on one of the lithographs but went beyond my budget at some point last night.

[bobfreedman]

I was thrilled to add two baseball card advertising pieces and the pennant was a cherry to top it off as the condition was too good to pass up

Gary, I was the first bidder on the polka music sheet and up until the last hour before extended bidding there was only two people bidding on it and I thought I had a really good shot at it. It is a fantastic piece and congrats.

Mark, great add as always.
