The grading seems to be pretty consistent and honest with most of the grades falling between 1 and 4. Tough to screw that up. If these were high grades in the 6 to 9 area I'd probably agree that registry money would garner more attention. But whoever buys the Cobb and Matty and JJ can spend $500 and get them crossed to their TPG of choice to put in the registry.

I don't see a lot of (if any) money being left on the table here. Goodwin is a major auction house. I think the CJs will do just fine as the early spirited bidding would suggest.

The Matty is already at $34K+ all in so your assessment is obviously dead on accurate.

Agree on that. And it's a fantastic card.

I would add that I think the Cobb is also at a pretty high price already -- also a fantastic example of the card.

To my initial comments, I would also say that the fact this is a Goodwin auction helps these cards. The auction landscape has really turned to a few disparate camps: the high end REA/Heritage; the high end postwar Memory Lane; the oddball and lower graded in H & S; and Goodwin which to me usually features the most interesting cards per capita than just about any auction.
