t206 prices in Hunt Auctions last night

[mechanicalman]

I was happy to win the Cobb Bat On 4.5 for a price I thought reasonable. I was tempted by the 3, as it looked like a cross-over candidate, but I figured there has to be a reason it's graded like that, so little chance of a PSA bump.

Side note: does it feel like Hunt, and sometimes, Huggins, are a little "flea-markety?" I don't mean this in a pejorative way - it's just that they sell a little of everything, and sometimes you have to do little digging to find the diamonds in the rough. Like you just might find a nice 33 Goudey Ruth on the last page of the catalog right after a lot of 1990 Fleer boxes. Kind of makes it fun.

Totally agree, and I love the fact that each lot ends on its own terms. I had the Tinker by 10:45 and then could enjoy my evening afterwards!

In my opinion, those auctions get more action. It forces you to s**t or get off the pot!! No worrying about being a high bidder and falling asleep while a west coaster jumps in the middle of the night and steals your lot.

That's what I like about Hunt. You have to work to find things. I know that I've bought a few items from them that I never would've seen had I not been scouring the pages.

I visit Hunt's everytime I can, always great stuff in it for every type of collector.
I placed a few bids and really loved the Gehrig stuff, especially the Worch Cigar. Just didn't have enough to go higher.
Yeah the downside is the -no back- pics, but I guess you could request one as I think some have done.
I have noticed, that Internet Explorer (on my laptop) has issues on placing bids, so I have to use Goggle Chrome in order to do so.
