REA results - 12/8/24

[Kevlo17]

Thought it was a really fun auction to watch. I was able to grab a few things I was watching - the 1914 Wajo CJ, the Wagner/Cobb m101-2, and the Bob Gibson type 1 following his 17 strikeout game in the 68 series.

I was expecting to go higher on both the CJ and the m101-2. I was the underbidder on the Cobb/Wagner in the Huggins and Scott auction Friday and glad I was since that one went for more than double the price of the REA example despite being the same grade. Granted the REA had the paper loss on 4 corners, but that to me isn’t worth over double the price when the rest of the image looks great. Similarly, the last comparable 1914 Wajo I’m aware of was the SGC 1 from Memory Lane in the spring, and that went for 2.5k more than this one.

I was also pleased with the price on the Gibson - part of that might be due to REA not calling out/identifying the significance of the image, but I’ll take it!

Pretty excited to add a couple pieces I’ve been after for awhile at a lower rate than I expected!
