REA results

I was lucky enough to win this Sovereign Waddell Port for what I thought was a pretty fair price. Was quite surprised I didn’t wake up to an outbid notice text.

I agree with Phil about some new money involved. Certainly some crazy prices last night. Most of the cards I was looking at were way above what I was comfortable bidding prior to extended bidding. I was able to pick up a 1914 CJ Cobb finally (SGC A). Not as nice as the PSA 1 on there but thought it was a fair price. Definitely was a beneficiary of there being multiple CJ Cobb copies.

Congrats guys (Ryan, love the Thorpes!).

I was happy to win the Lajoie Hindu; goes great with my other HOF Hindus.

I was in on that LaJoie Hindu also, was thinking about going one increment higher but held back. Great card kinda wished I had stepped up. Congrats.

I am simply blown away by the prices.

The price on the blank backed 1926-29 Ruth Exhibits was insane. I thought the price was already crazy when it was $14K before extended bidding, and then the price doubled! I get that blanked backed are much tougher than the postcard-backed and this was the best looking one out there, but $30K, really? I really hope that this is not the new normal, and just an outlier because the card was blank backed. Otherwise, it'll be a really hard to pick up more of these cards.

I was the 1st or 2nd underbidder on the c1915 and 1922 Ruth cards. I tried hard, but obviously someone wanted it more. Both of those cards only have a known pop of 1 or 2 with a unique Ruth image, I believe, so I understand the price there better (obviously).

That's not even the highest graded example of a batting Ruth (SGC shows a 6 in its pop report).

I don't think anyone except the real nuts (like me) care about the backs on these cards. It was a crazy result but maybe not that crazy when beater 1933G Ruth cards are over $5K with a much larger pop. The more interesting numbers to me show strength across the Exhibit realm:

--1921 Walter Johnson 4.5 $1,680.00
--$12,600 for the PSA 2 (but great eye appeal) 1921 Ruth
--$6,600 for the PSA 3 1928 Ruth
--$3,270 for a group of 183 postwar Exhibit cards with Mantle, Paige and Robinson (2) and even those three were not in stellar condition: Mantle/first name outlined in white (Ex), Paige (marked on reverse, otherwise Ex), two J. Robinson (Vg-Ex+ and Vg).

The unopened was crazy. $11,400 for 19 cello packs and $1,500 for a cello with Mantle on top. I really wish I'd held onto the packs I busted 20 years ago...

Thanks Brian! I threw a little extra on it and then went to bed myself. Was pleasantly surprised when I woke up today.
