On the other hand, at the lower tier, I thought there were some good buys.

This one boomeranged back to me for about what it sold for 3 yrs ago. I always liked the cigar added touch.
Such is the stuff I collect. Starts low and stays low...

I grabbed the e220 Ruth PSA 1 for less than 2k.

I was the underbidder on that card. Congrats! Consolation prize of a few e94 overprints...which I love.

Thank you and congrats on your new cards as well. I was shocked when I woke up this morning and saw I won. Card last sold on eBay for 2,400 last year. While I realize it’s missing a corner, it doesn’t affect the image and it’s hard to be picky when the pop is so low. Plus I liked that it was graded PSA 1 vs. PSA authentic. It will pair nicely with my PSA 1 e121.

After a t227 cobb and then this I’ll be taking a break for awhile, at least til the next REA.

E105 Chase $19,200
E105 Jennings $15,600
E105 Seigle $5520
E105 Lobert $1320

The Lobert is about what these have been going for. I had a bid in on the Seigle at around $375.

That Leach W600 went for a ton of money. Had me wondering what I was missing.

E105 are crazy. The Jennings and Chase prices are nuts, and then Lobert goes for practically nothing. The last Lobert I am aware of went for almost $5k in the same grade.

picked up my first e94 OP myself

People seem persuaded by the “pop one” on that Chase and Jennings. Otherwise, the discrepancy from the Lobert makes no sense.

Collecting is collecting. If “pop reports” are your thing, more power to you. I just hope I never pursue something and have to battle it out with a registry person.

I think it is 2 people collecting the set in a bidding war. Once they battled it out on the first Lobert, when the 2nd one came up, the underbidder was able to get it at a market price. There are only 2 e105 Chase cards graded by psa, so it is a rare card like a T206 Lenox. It's not like a 1950's card, where there are thousands available and the only price factor is the tpg grade.

Re: W600, Kevin, I stopped bidding on the Wallace, as I don't know enough about w600 to be spending lots of money on one. Heritage called the Wallace sgc 20 a "type 1" and I was going off their description. Rob

Leon surely that's not all you won last night - would have figured you would have had a hand in that E222 pot.

I picked up four postcards between last night and tonight....happy with prices I paid. One Lincoln Publishing and three Rose Company.
