Was there a Buyer's premium back then? Did they charge insane S/H rates?

Probably not.

No buyer's premium, but your consignors were likely paying 30 - 40%

I love how Carter would take the time to type up his bids all nice and the other's chicken scratch had to be deciphered by the auctioneers.

That's awesome.

Great read, thanks for posting Leon.

I'm curious if the photos mentioned originating from Yankee stadium are connected with the large format The Babe Bows Out photo that REA sold a few years back?
The auction is dated Jan of 1974... with the REA write-up stating the photo was purchased by their consignor at a local sale of Yankee Stadium items that occurred at a small little league field in Queens in 1975 during the stadium's renovations.

Default Don't think so-
I did get a few prewar cards back in the 70s, but as a 15-year-old (in '74) I was basically playin' with no chips...

No....almost all of the material back then was owned by the seller/dealer.

Except in the bimonthly auctions in Card Collector’s Bulletin, for which Charles Bray charged a 15% buyer’s premium (raised from 10% in the early 1960s).
