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.

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.

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.

Ryan, you didn't grow up in the '60s, or you would know how popular Shatner was back then.

Nice going on the Merkle/ Brown Lenox. Do not start a back run, I don't want the competition.

Another board member and I were talking and we were curious about this lot.

Lot 651 was a lot with early rppcs of negro teams along with some other oddball items.

We both collect a decent amount in this area and were shocked to see the hammer price. 20k!!!!

We have looked all the pieces over a few times and cannot find any majorly significant players.

Any thoughts and/or opinions?

Did we miss something?

Thanks
