That Ruth PC was former Campf collection, he loved it.

Anyone here win the Cobb studio photos? Was battling someone on those.

Didn't bid myself, but they were gorgeous. Kudos to whoever landed them.

Congrats Chris on the V89 Cobb. I was the underbidder and wanted it badly, but I guess you wanted it more. Heritage has an Ex-Mt example coming up in their next auction. If you want to upgrade, I'd be happy to take the REA one off your hands.

My one win. REA assumed it was from 1950 which I think is correct based on the players and date (the date and day of the week match up, and Campy had his own tours later on).

It's not much to look at, but Jackie barnstorming tour items are really tough, and I'm a sucker for anything connected to them. Plus having Jackie, Doby, Campanella, Newcombe and King Tut on it is pretty awesome.

And since it's REA, (which is not too far from me, they take Zelle and they are awesome) I got tracking saying it should arrive tomorrow :-)

[notfast]

Nothing fancy here but love 48/49 Leaf/Bowman

Also love the REA customer service...shot them an email about Zelle a few mins ago and got a response back almost immediately.

Got my item in the mail today. Doesn't get much faster than that.

Jeff, very cool piece, even if it is a simple design. Reflects the times and event, and I thought you might go after it.
I won a couple of items and paid right away but haven't received any notice about shipping. It's been a while since I bought anything from REA. Do they usually send a notice when they ship?

I've always loved the Glendales. I think the Ginsberg is just as tough as the Houtteman. But I've always read that the Houtteman is the key card.

I was "in" on the ones that finished with a flurry of bidding. Of course the fourth one finished with far less activity, and I was not "in" on that one. So I came away with none.

Congrats to anyone who landed one (or more). All 4 were spectacular.

Picked this up. I enjoy the Bread for Health cards and their uniqueness.

[Mark17]

There were a lot of great cards available last night, but to me, an all original GU flannel is something that is truly scarce and a great buy for the money. This year I've gotten a 1968 home Giants Nate Oliver (Huggins & Scott), a 1957 home Pirates Ron Kline (Hunt), a 1965 road Twins Zoilo Versalles (Heritage), a 1968 road Pirates Maury Wills (Lelands) and now this one. Would love the 1967 Tigers Mickey Stanley at Heritage but it's already north of $2k.

[h2oya311]

shut out last night. oh well.

Ryan / Jeff - regarding the c1900 Pittsburg Imperial Cabinet w/ Wagner and Waddell, REA didn't mention Fred Clarke being in the image. Is he? If he's not, why not? Seems odd, don't you think?

[Bicem]

Believe that's him in the suit as player/manager/pimp.

Derek, I do not know if Clarke is in the pic - I will defer to Jeff and hope that the pimp in the upper row is him. Also, I dont think Waddell is in the picture. Here is what REA says:

"including Hall of Famers Honus Wagner and Jack Chesbro, along with stars Deacon Phillippe, Tommy Leach, Jess Tannehill, and Sam Leever. "

[Bicem]

REA probably just missed it, but I'm pretty confident that's him.

Lucky for you no Waddell, would have cost you 3x what you paid. Lucky for me too, I would have lost and bitched about it forever.

Sorry, meant Chesbro. Not Waddell. Great pick-up!

I was the consignor on this card and I think you got a hell of a deal.
Paid more for it 10 years ago than you just did, and back then it seemed like prices would only rise.
Not sure what's happened in the intervening years of if Mikan is just too far back for todays basketball collectors to want to collect.
Enjoy it for me, it was one of the tough ones for me to let go.

I was gunning for two of the Cobb studios but stopped a bid short on each. They are awesome but figured I would save it for something down the road.

Wow, that's a sharp looking "1". If I had seen that, you would have had some additional competition!

Congrats on the pickup!

[riggs336]

I've been looking for a decent Houtteman for a while and figured it was time to act.

Stay well,

Mike, I was watching that Dihigo as well. Great pick up, I really like that card a lot.

Wow, nice pick up on the Houtteman. How long have you been looking for a good one? They don't come up that often do they?

[Yoda]

Managed to win the Williards Chocolate Cobb. Only victory.

To find one that wasn't a total beater AND was in my price range AND when my wife wasn't looking took about fifteen years.😁

Congrats! I love this card.
I was an under bidder but quit awhile before the end to focus on losing other things.

Very nice and I agree it could've easily graded a 2 or 2.5 on any given day. Obviously other collectors, like you, were bidding on the card and not the number on the flip. That's a keeper!

[mantlefan]

Love that Mikan, Josh!

Happy to get this one:

Really nice Matty!

My eyes are very misty

As I pen these lines to Christy;

O, my heart is full of heaviness

May the flowers ne'er wither, Matty

On your grave at Cincinnati,

Which you’ve chosen for your final fadeaway
