Robert Edwards September Encore - Thoughts? Wins?

[53toppscollector]

I scooped up a few lower grade T206's that I needed, and I thought the prices were fine. I was disappointed to miss out on the Brashear Cycle, but you can't win'em all.

Hi

I am looking forward to everyone's wins.

I was fortunate that I did not see anything I needed for my collection.

So I kept my vow 1 Auction in not to buy anything and regroup the funds.

Feel like an addict going thru withdrawal and trying to make it thru 1 Auction at a time.

But Boy oh Boy Memory Lanes is coming up with alot of Wow Cards

I picked up these two for my T205 set.

Managed to snag the Geo. Miller Maranville, the '33 Goudey Pennock and the T206 Kleinow, Boston.
I thought prices were strong but the material was weak for REA. There was only one low grade T206Cobb, red bkg. and no major Ruths. It shows again, at least to me, that collectors are sitting tight. If PWCC has a huge rollout of pre-war when their platform is launched, then watch out for increased hostilities among the AHs.

[x2drich2000]

Just one for me. Overall I think this was possibly the weakest REA auction for the year, especially from a pre-war point of view.

I struck out on a few smaller things. There was nothing I needed for my collection. As for the auction, we need to remember they do one every month now. I don't think any company can have 12 super great auctions a year.
just my half cent...

+1 I was thinking the exact same thing.

I won the Tom Lovett (Boston) Mayo Cut Plug. I've bene looking for an affordable Mayo for awhile to display along with an unopened Mayo pack and pouch from about 1900-1910.

If low-to-mid grade T205 & T206 are your thing, there were plenty of nice cards to add.

I won 2 lots.

My first t205:


And a 57 Kaline (Sorry if it doesn't belong in the pre-war section):


I missed out on a 57 Ted Williams (mostly because this Kaline went for more than I thought it would), and sharp 60 Musial SGC 7.

Very nice Collins! Kaline too.

So you're the guy that outbid me!

[Lobo Aullando]

Well, both of you outbid me, then.

I'm cool with my '41 Mel Ott, though.

The one I was happiest to win was a Jennings Portrait in PSA 2. It went for $168 after the buyer's premium was added. Not many of them have popped up on ebay over the last few months, the one hand/two poses pop up more frequently, and it looks pretty clean, just typical rounded corners, centering looks nice.

I also picked up a Griffith portrait and a Wallace portrait in PSA 1, and both copies look really nice, just a few small specks of paper loss/back stain, but good eye appeal overall.

I'm going to snap out all 5 of the cards I won and put them in my binder, but the prices felt right given what I've seen recently even for raw cards.

I paid this morning with Zelle and already got a UPS tracking number. Always top notch.

Very underwhelming

[Carter08]

I was wondering if it was called an encore auction because it wasn’t a main auction but just some sort of follow up - maybe things that didn’t hit a prior reserve or something. No idea but yeah it seemed underwhelming.

[Casey2296]

Its their monthly auction, not to be confused with the quarterly blockbuster auctions.
