So What Did REA Prices Suggest About Current Market?

[GregMitch34]

Always a question. What looks healther? Less healthy?

[RCMcKenzie]

Everything I looked at sold for at or above what I thought it would. I would have guessed the T214 lot would have gone for around 1800 and it went for 3000 etc..

Still can't believe the T206 Chase PSA 8 went for $6k......Pretty healthy if you ask me....

Especially since it has a Harris Collection flip.

I thought that prices were low, especially on the T205's, high grade OJ's and some of the rare back t206's. The price on the Delahanty was impressive.

Many collectors believe those cards to be trimmed.

Harris collection cards have a tendency of being undernourished... If you know what I mean!

I thought the t205s sold low...I was watching the low pop variations and thought the chance, wallace, Hoblitzell, wilhelm sold at about 80% of previous closes....

Maybe the T205s sold a bit lower than usual because they weren't sold in a Legendary or Mastro auction -- and the consignor, who has the best set, wasn't bidding for them.

[RCMcKenzie]

The T205 went lower because there are not enough T205 High-Grade collectors to absorb that many offerings all at once. Similar to what happened to all the e107 offered at once earlier in the year.

Cobb check at $700 (about $831 w/juice) and Johnson check at $1100 (about $1300) were not strong when compared to other auctions in the past couple years.

The OJs were a mixed bag. The larger lots were actually reasonable when you look at the price per card average. The Delahanty was strong.

[RCMcKenzie]

Fred, I thought the 2 big OJ lots went for fairly good deals, but I have a defeatist attitude about going after those. I think REA would do better to break those up into smaller groups or single lots. I was under bidder on the N173 Sommers and Seward that went fair at 1300, that was as close as I got to winning anything. I would have bid more on several card issues had REA broken down the lots, as I am not a dealer.
