Heritage Auction

[oldjudge]

Anyone win anything last night?

[scooter729]

The start time for the live auction killed this Boston guy. I went to bed as the high bidder on two items, but lost in the live session.

I thought there were a good number of items that went well under what I would have expected. Some certainly went for strong bids, but looking through the prices this morning, I thought there were some bargains for sure...

[LEIDEMEG]

the live session starts at 12 pm today????

[scooter729]

First half of the auction (most of the cards) had the live auction last night. Second half (more memorabilia, autographs, etc.) goes off at noon today.

I got skunked after chasing a big lot (for my pockets).
unfortunatly a slew of lots I would have put another bid on (d304's the single N36's) were already closed....sooo many cards I collect, and nothing... I found myself really disliking the format, perhaps staggering the closing times or running it over multiple days ??

...probably just sour grapes and a rainy morning after.

[Leon]

Nothing for my collection but did get some of the D304's. They were very low priced in my opinion....but, what do I know?

I used to gripe about their website (to them too) but have come to like it now. I still don't care for mixing live bidding with phone and internet but last night I thought it was only internet? At any rate I watched all of my lots close and was happy when they did.

Funny story. You know you are an addict when.....

I was talking on the phone with a friend while some lots were winding down. I thought one I had bid on was really low, and it only had about a minute left on it. So, while I am talking to my friend about it, trying to up the bid, I hit the submit button....but the time had run out .......then I saw I was already the high bidder and won the lot ....My friend and I laughed about that one.

I won 4 lots from them. I really like the individual closing times, rather than dragging things out until 4 in the morning......makes bidders **** or get off the pot!

There was no live part of the auction for yesterday for the cards. Jonathan from Heritage confirmed that here:

Basically, at 10pm CST, all lots entered extended bidding with the 30 minute rule with each lot closing individually.

I thought that many lots that I followed went for really low prices. Both Magie's, I thought were really good deals. I really wish I had more cash on hand to put in a few bids. The Neilson Chocolate Type 2 near set, I thought also went for a good price.

Some lots did go higher than I expected. A Neilson Chocolate Type 1 Ruth didn't meet reserve at $800 (before BP), and I purchased one on ebay (from Mile High) in the same grade for less than $600. Similarly a Willard Chocolate Cobb went for more than I thought it would. There were others like it, but in general, I thought prices were really good where I really wish I had more cash to spend on cards.

[T206Collector]

...I came away with this pair of signed beauties. Very happy!

[M's_Fan]

My first Wagner! I was more than a bit nervous bidding on this, but a PSA 2.5 went for several hundred dollars more in REA 2010, so I think I did okay.

[autograf]

beautiful WAGS

[bobbyw8469]

One of my lots I won. I felt it was a good price for high grade/low pop commons....

[E93]

Nice Wagner!

I picked up the group of T209, T210, T206, and T205 cards. The e107 group went for more than I expected. Any thoughts on what drove that or the valuation of the Young?

[Bosox Blair]

I got the E90-1 Speaker...a card I was after for a while, and this one was the best I'd seen.

Cheers,
Blair

The Neilson Type 2 lot went to me...along with the Johnson/Harris Exhibit lot and one of the PSA 9 1967 lots. Let me know if there are any individual cards you might be interested in!

Outstanding pickup Blair. I almost jumped into the fray as this would have been a very nice upgrade for me but alas, there is too much stuff on the horizon. Congrats!

Sorry Tom...apparently you and I were the only bidders on that lot......if it makes you feel any better, if you had bid again, I would have gotten out.....
