This REA auction is fantastic. I'm loving it. I'm hoping to pick up a few cards that I have been searching for over a year, and they've turned up here.
A few other mixed lots I hope to snag, too. I'm excited. Thrilled. Hopeful.


But, you keep being you, bitching & posting 24/7/365. You saturate these threads with constant negativity.
Your constant negativity has even carried over into the Robert Edwards arena.

Maybe you should log off and take a walk in the fresh air. The world is not so dark & grim away from your keyboard.

You clearly lack reading comprehension because you are misunderstanding/mischaracterizing what I say but fire away. And may I suggest you avail yourself of the ignore feature.

FWIW, I disagree with you. Peter brings up good conversation points.

Don’t get me wrong, I think it is a solid auction even without the Wagner, especially for 19th century. I was just wondering why more people aren’t talking about it.

It's another amazing auction from REA, and I was excited to look through it the day it opened, but it's starting to feel redundant to post a thread or even comment about yet another incredible offering from REA, or the other big auction houses. They just keep coming month after month after month, seemingly without end. It doesn't mean that I'm not very interested in this auction though.

EDIT: The sensory overload comment resonates with me too. There are dozens of lots that I'm interested in, though I know I'll be lucky to win any.

The first rule of Card Club is that we don't talk about active auctions.

Perhaps we have all gotten a bit spoiled by the multitude of blockbuster REA auctions over the years. The current auction looks great, initial bidding response strong and there should be something for all vintage junkies. Also, I suspect excitement about this week's National have some folks guarding their wallets in anticipation. Post Nat'l the 2nd week should see some serious action, as people are able to see the actual auction cards in REA's cases and may be disappointed in their luck in Chicago.

It's not just REA, it's all the big ones. I mean, even the fact that REA is headlined by a nice T206 Wagner isn't even a big deal. There have been several of those sold in recent months/years - it's just not unusual or exceptional anymore to see items like that offered.

I was talking to a client this morning. His company has been buying businesses like crazy this year (vacation rentals). He says many sellers are concerned about possible changes in capital gains taxes.

Default 1952 Topps Jackie Robinson Question
I noticed that in this auction there's a PSA 8 1952 Topps Jackie Robinson (lot 5) that started at a minimum bid of $25,000 and an SGC 8 Topps 1952 Jackie Robinson (lot 6) that started at a minimum bid of $10,000.
My question: Why did REA start the bidding at such a WIDE disparity? The centering on the PSA card MIGHT be a tad better. Might.
Why do I ask? I have a SGC 7.5 1952 Topps Jackie Robinson and I'm wondering if I should break it out (when I am ready to sell) and roll the dice by submitting to PSA.
I am planning to go to the National and will ask REA this question BUT I thought the forum might have some insights. What am I missing? Thanks. Peace.

My excitement at seeing the offerings was immediately tempered by the sky-high bidding only hours into it.

And I’ve never seen Peter renege on the BST, like I have Brian. Following through on your own commitments is sooo much more important than whether you agree with someone else’s opinions. Just my two cents

Definitely a lot of great stuff in this auction. I certainly think auction fatigue plays a role in the enthusiasm level, but it'll pick up.

Like Leon, I appreciate Peter's observations. It's a great hobby but there's no question there are a lot of bad actors and the problem hasn't been addressed meaningfully, let alone solved. Just my opinion. I think there's plenty of room to enjoy the hobby but still object to the bad stuff. We don't have industry leaders taking up that mantle so we need the experienced collectors to do it.

Peter has been on here for a hell of a long time and many of us Net54 veterans enjoy reading his take.

I loved you in Queen, though!

I'll defend Peter. He is one of the most valuable and prolific resources on this Board, in particular for exposing fraud in the hobby.

Anyone else having an issue logging into REA? Every time I do it says I need to update my password. But every time I update my password the site doesn't recognize the new password when I go to log in. I have to enter the old password again and am prompted endlessly to update it.

I had to update my password a few days ago and also confirm my account information, but since I did the update, I have logged in with my new password with no issues.
