Heritage Auction

We heard that the Heritage Auction produced mixed results.
A significant number of lots did not meet the minimum bid, and a number of
items went through the roof

Did anyone attend- having difficult opening download of prices
realized.

For those attended, we'd welcome the opportunity to hear your commentary

Thanks

I read an article online that stated the Batman Comic book sold for $657K.

I can't seem to find any info on the sports auction. Maybe someone else can jump in here?

Can someone post the prices realized for the E107 Mathewson, Boston Garter Jackson, and Zeenut Weaver. Thanks

I watched it on-line and took a few notes but only up to lot 30. At some point she stopped saying "this will be available online." I think I counted 8 out of the first 30 did not sell. The one item that struck me as going extremely high was the Cap Anson bat that ended at $240,000 + vig.

Prices realized:

The Matty went for $119,500, the altered Wagner went for $227.050. I am thinking the Boston Garter and the 1911 Zeenut Weaver didn't meet the reserve as I see no prices realized.

We were very pleased with the results of the first "Platinum Night" auction at the National convention. The assigned auctioneer couldn't make the auction due to a cancelled flight so Andrea Voss called the auction with only 2 hours notice. For someone who doesn't have a background in sports I think she did a great job.

After factoring in the post-auction sales, we went over the $1.9 million mark for 69 lots and the remaining 17 lots are still available on our web site.

Some of the card highlights were the E107 Mathewson ($119,500), T206 American Beauty Frank Baker ($21,510) and the N173 Old Judge Buck Ewing cabinet that sold for $17,925. The Anson bat sold for $286,800; the Mordecai Brown signed ball sold for $65,725 and the Ruth single signed ball went for $83,650. Prices include BP.

I hope everyone who attended had a good time and we are looking forward to hosting another Platinum Night event next year in Chicago.

Thanks Mr Marquette and Mr Calderon

The Auctioneer wasn't my favorite and she seemed very nervous. Otherwise, very cool auction.
