Card Collector's Bulletin, 2/1/59: Notes from J. R. Burdick, Preston Orem on T216

jsq · #1 02-20-2016, 01:38 AM

you mention: " In my run of CCBs from 1954-56, somebody (I assume the original owner) wrote prices realized in pencil next to a lot of the lots, but in this one someone (a different hand) has only written prices realized next to a few lots, in pen."

might these be prices the person bid instead of realized? when i look at the prices written on this issue and the other issue you recently so kindly listed i have a suspicion that these might be what someone wished to bid for these items - hoping to get bargains????.

just a guess.

all the best

No, those are prices realized. Each issue shows the prices realized for the auction in the previous issue, and they correspond to the prices written in pencil. I don't have the issue after this one from 1959, but I do have the issue following the other one I posted, #93 from 1/1/55. It shows that the prices realized for lot 120, the 468 different T206s, and lot 121, the 48 different T206 Southern Leaguers, were $12.00 and $9.00, the amounts written in pencil next to the lots. I have 11 consecutive issues from #92 to #102, and the same is true in all of them.

yikes, glad you could clarify. so, many of the card lots sold even cheaper then the already low appearing estimate in many cases, just not easy to find other collectors in the early days to help with the bid competition.

thanks for the follow up and posting the old issues.

regards
