Same with me. I hope we aren't competing.

I truly can't even believe what many of these items went for last night, as everything that I tracked went for double and triple what I thought. It really makes it difficult to consign with anyone else, seeing the money that REA commands.

For any art lovers out there, the Peter Max pieces went for peanuts!! I was able to obtain three original watercolors in the $350-400 range a piece, which is just insane! Completed listings on eBay for similar pieces more than triple those numbers. I couldn't pass them up...

I went in targeting baseball and now, apparently, I am a Peter Max collector!! Lol...WTF!

Very high prices overall, but here are some observations:

Top prices for the N172 McPhee's and N173 Welch cards. Was surprised that the O'Day and Deacon White cards didn't pick up steam - I assumed that with their inductions, they would go much higher on the hype. Strong price for the Williamson and Mascot.

I didn't look that closely, but other than an OM Tinker going for a crazy price, T206 back insanity didn't seem full blown this auction, which surprised me. The Red Hindu Johnson, in particular, went low, especially considering that is an epic card.

Now I'm just curious to see what the pick-up thread looks like...

There are two in existence (at least) - the other is the exact same grade.

I personally thought the ghost backs went where they should have - perhaps one bid too high.

This is why......I'm never a buyer in REA auctions. They're great to consign to, not so great if you actually prefer NOT to be bent over for every card. The only way I would ever be interested in being a buyer with REA auctions is if I came into PowerBall money and was targeting a Wagner, Ruth Balt. News or any other ultra high end card in the 6-7 figure range. Other than that, I pass on the REA hype every year.

So with the Ruth Balt News card selling for nearly $50k more with BP than the Wagner, does that mean that it is the new "king"?

The Wares Ruth RC also went for $130k with BP. Incredible prices.

To me, the Wagner T206 card will always be king of the hobby unless a Batlimore News Ruth can surpass the $2.1 million paid for the Wagner copy at the Goldin Auction last month. The Honus T206 card also has 100 years of intrigue behind it and comes from perhaps the most iconic set of all time. Even many people with no interest whatsover in baseball cards are familair with what a Honus Wagner T-206 card is and how valuable it is.

Things can change over time. As a player and name in the sport, Ruth is towering-- and now his first card may be getting some richly deserved recognition. It may even take some more time to cement what the market just said last night of course. Only time will tell, but my money is on the Ruth surpassing the Wagner in the years to come, when comparing examples of the same grade.

Agreed - I had a tough time not going for one.

Very nice wins!

Agreed. Great Peter Max pickups. I was the underbidder on the naked flyer around the sun. Can imagine only a few things as good as flying around the sun naked with socks on.
