REA T206 auction ending tonite............

[vthobby]

Correct me if I'm wrong but if light bidding continues up until midnight (only 1 lot needs a bid in a 10 minute period to extend the entire auction) then all lots will continue with a final 10 minute countdown........

Actually I'll answer your question easier.......

Yes!

Incredible T206 set. I estimated the auction would do at least a half-million dollars, so I've been surprised it hasn't created much buzz around here given that there are high-grade cards and rare backs. Don't remember the last time I saw this many Uzits in 4 holders in one auction.

I agree! Incredible set slabbed by SGC. One of my questions is this: Why on Earth did SGC not add "Paul Pollard Collection" to each slab? Every lot notes that each card is from his collection. I think it would have added a nice provenance to each card. But I digress.

I think the lack of talking about the auction is a bit strategic. Folks don't want to play their hands so to speak!

Really fun to follow and bid!

Peace, Mike

5 minutes go by without a bid! ..... and then someone has to bid $70 for a Bob Rhoades.

You're welcome Wid, can't have you guys going to bed early...

I just noticed something interesting and confusing. The SGC 8 Walter Hands at Chest in the REA auction is also double protected in a penny sleeve much like Beckett does. I can't find another card in the auction that got this "White Glove Penny Sleeve" treatment! lol

Honestly, I like it and wish they did this for all cards they slab!

Peace, Mike

Mike, I noticed that on several other cards in the auction...I think some of the common 8's had it too.

(Overall, some really strong prices, especially the rare backs).

On the lack of buzz, while many people collect these, I suspect not as many as you might think. In talking to some friends who have gotten into the hobby in the last 10-15 years, none of them collect T cards.

Congrats on picking it up. I was hoping no one would notice it and I could win it at ~15K

I had my eye on a few nice cards but they went for stronger prices than I wanted to pay. Great auction though.

I actually like the format, its good if you are bidding on a lot of different cards. but it should end at 8. 2 hours is more than enough time. I am not sure why anyone would still be bidding at this point.
