REA Results

I won the one item I wanted the most, the 1909 Pittsburgh Pirates National League Champions pocket mirror.

I was going back and forth with someone for the N173 Elmer Foster when the auction closed, but I was the underbidder unfortunately.

Quite happy to win the supplements that I was bidding on. I'll probably put some duplicates on the BST after the holidays.

Back to my norm of getting outbid by someone willing to pay a world record price.

Got these. The Rapps will go great with my orange type 2. The others, while great, will be on the b/s/t.

Good work Ed, you sniped me well. By the time I confirmed my bid the auction had closed. I came on to see if the person who won that lot might be breaking it up. Unfortunately you are keeping the wrong card.

I get to add this piece to my Kansas City collection. I went back and forth with one other bidder and put in one last bid and went to bed. Was surprised to still be the high bidder when I got up. It's certainly an important piece to KC baseball. Also a nice bit of information on the back. Jay, it found a good home.

Ah, that was fun, wasn�t it? I was on pins and needles hoping to get it. I felt the Rapps alone was worth close to what the hammer was. I don�t have many E100s anymore, but I kept my Rapps type 1 and 2 (orange) for my type collection. The green type 2 just closes that part of my collection. Sorry it was you on the other end. Good news is I won�t be bidding against you if another type 2 comes out (maybe).

This. I went to bed around 10 with pretty aggressive max bids in, winning 6 lots, wasn't willing to go higher than history... woke up this morning, won zero. Oh well

Snapolit1 · #10 12-09-2019, 06:24 AM

Same. On to the next one.

The card pictured below received the 7th most bids of all lots in the auction. Is this a major non-sport set, or a particularly tough card, or a pure registry play (in which non-sports is ripe for, if not already riddled with, card doctors), or what? I love that a non-sports card got this many bids in REA - what’s good for cards generally is good for baseball cards - but still a head scratcher.

Regarding pick ups, I finally did well in an REA auction under the new, all lots close at once, format. I picked up 6 cards: e92 Wagner, e103 Wagner, e104-2 wagner, t216 Cobb, t206 Merkle Brown lenox, and 1914 CJ Plank. I thought it was a very even auction, with some cards going for surprisingly high prices (other than my Merkle brown Lenox, which I paid out the ass for, I will not name which ones for risk of retribution), and some definite deals.

Based on Heritage, where I struck out aside from a great looking t215-1 Tinker, and last night, I would say the “hobby” is alive and well. The economy is good. Interested to see how things in pwcc turn out — I am still not bidding in a wallet protest.

so the hobby has not been rocked when it comes to money. which i think is the biggest factor..yeah integrity is important etc..but money is the ultimate king in my book and at least thus far, i dont see anything rocking except some people's point of view..

I was surprised and thrilled to win this where I got it.

there has never been an REA auction in which all the lots did not close at once.

RCMcKenzie · #16 12-09-2019, 11:51 AM

It's a new format. It's a hard close at midnight, like an eBay auction. Snipe-fest. They should look at the Bagger's model... Grabbed this one. Nice pick-ups, y'all.

The 1967 Star Trek set is for sure one of the most collected non sports sets of the 1960's. Add that to the low pop and set registry and you get a lot of action. There were a number of cards from the set in REA that did very well with strong bidding.
Congrats on your pickups! Nice haul.

Howard

PS. I won some great 1962 Bazooka complete boxes! Nothing prewar in this one for me :-(

Thanks Howard! I did not know. Makes sense though. Congrats on the pickups and great meeting you in Philly on Saturday.
