Suspense? Nah, just going "all in" with no reserve on a ton of things with no price history. No big deal...

I hope he cleaned up big time,
It is an out of this world collection!

950k... Wow.
Congrats!


The question is:

Would you rather have that entire collection or a Wagner, a plank and some cash left over?

Looks like the 950,115 includes the buyer's premium? Having said that, I would think an astute guy like Leon negotiated to receive a cut of the BP.

Leon, you know I was going after that other Cafe Du Monde but I ended up having to back out. You're welcome for helping drive that one up a bit more.

I ended up with the W573 uncut strip. I'm going to make my own holder and slab it "Leon Luckey Collection" (to help drive up the price should I ever sell it).

Congratulations, Leon, on the total gross and net. I won the only lot I bid on--the 1929 Leader Novelty Mel Ott, and am very glad to have it!

The auction was an amazing thing to have done--best wishes on your future collecting endeavors,

Larry

Leon,

I know that it had to be hard letting a collection like this go. So I just wanted to thank you as I have been coveting this card for a very loooong time! I also want to wish you the best of luck as you get started on your next collection...

I too appreciate Johnny's passion and honesty. And it's nice to see him come on here today and admit that he should not have been so negative the last few days. As someone who got into collecting vintage because of scrap - my Dad gave me a pile of t206s ten years ago that included all the Lash's Bitters cards (neither of us knew what they were) - I share Johnny's passion for t206 oddities. I think his heart is really in the right place.

Now if he would just sell or trade me his blank back t206 hall of famer so I can complete my t206 HOF back set I would really like him

And as for Leon's collection, I was sad to see him sell it but also happy to see all the wonderful cards he accumulated. Leon, I hope you're happy with the results of the auction and I hope your cards bring a lot of joy to all those who were fortunate enough to win them.

Leon's accountant is going to be busy figuring out the capital gains tax on this auction, yikes! 😱

The 950Kish was with the 19.5% vig added in.............I think. A nice tally. Hopefully the cap gains don't kill you too bad as there are gains on some, losses on others. A sufficient enough amount to ensure your daughter get's through school, has a nice wedding at some point, and spoil a few grandkids down the road.................and some left over for collection #2..........

I think we're ready to go....tried it just now and it's up and running. I'll bump the thread I started about the Chatroom as well. If anyone wants to chat cards awhile, feel free to stop by!

Well, I won 2 small lots - not the 2 that I was hoping to win but I am very happy! One more that I am watching - not sure if I will pull the trigger on another bid or 2. Maybe I need another glass of wine!

I only won one lot (finished the E98 master set with the orange Walsh) but I was bidding on many, so Leon I at least helped your daughter's fund a little 😊
Congratulations on what appears to be a very successful auction and congrats also to Pete C. who did yeoman's work.

I was happy to win the lot I did! Only needed one card from the lot but pleased with the outcome. Was outbid on the only only two lots I had bid on (well one is still going)

I only won one lot also. I have been trying to get it out of his hands for several years and now I have. Good luck to your daughter in her future.

Well, I was the underbidder on a couple of lots, so I got to push some money in Leon's direction, but I'm out.
