REA, how did it go for you?

[Rhotchkiss]

I am now the proud owner of a T215 Pirate back, Frank Chance front. Very psyched to have such a rare piece.

Was fighting hard for the E107 Plank, but it got higher than I wanted -- closing at almost $17k with juice. I also though I had a chance at the T206 Plank 1.5, but was outbid (by someone willing to pay $45k w/juice) with a week left and that bid held, making, yet again, the underbidder on a Plank -- always a bridesmaid.

I was glad to see the brown old mill top $20k -- awesome card someone got there. Amd I think the 33 Lajoie brought a great price for a great card. Man was I happy to see the 48 Leaf Paige PSA 3 go for $24k; luckily I pulled my PSA 4 from BST a week ago, considering I was asking a mere $23k

Pete, congrats on the Ruth? Which one? I picked up a 3.5 from a board member last month and i love it.

Regarding the Wajo Sovereign -- great looking card but man did someone pay the piper to get that sucker.

Great auction. Tons of major cards.

I got skunked on my pre-war targets but picked up a great 1951 Bowman Mantle. Very excited!

I won 3 lots. The t206 2.5 green Cobb , the 33 goudey Babe Ruth (low grade) and the 34 goudey PSA 1 Gehrig. Very pleased on the prices

I was shut out again. I missed on all my main targets and passed on a secondary one to wait for future auctions. The REA premium is amazing. I am glad I bought my t206 Plank when I did. I paid slightly more than the one last night, but it is much nicer. I couldn't believe a 1.5 brought 45k.

Managed to snag the E92 Davis Croft Candy-Blue to go with brother Red, a card that you, Leon, might remember. Tried to go for the Nadja and Dockman Davis' cards, which were part of a group, but lost out at the midnight hour.
A question for E92 aficionados: Does Davis come with a Crofts Cocoa reverse?

Hi John - I believe that all 50 cards in the standard E92 set come with both Croft’s Cocoa as well as Croft’s Candy backs. I do not think that there are any cards that are unique to just one of those backs.

John, yes, Davis absolutely does come with Cocoa. I suspect it does, however I have never seen or heard of a black crofts candy. This is the only black crofts I have not confirmed.

Kevin, I believe Shean has not been confirmed with a Cocoa. I know of 1 Cocoa set missing just the Shean.

I added a nice D310 to my type collection, but got shutout on everything else.
