Robert Edwards Auctions STILL going strong at 8:15 AM Est!!!!

[sb1]

Managed to win the "one that got away" last night. It's a card that Leon would approve of, low technical grade=lower price(still a record price for the grade level) with killer eye appeal. Bought the card, not the holder.

I still have 1 consigned card going strong!

Yay!

Didn't expect REA would end this early tonite, i was going to put in my last few bids on the Wagner. Damn.

All three lots I was winning all night were outbid right after 6 PM. I decided not to bid again in the auction again, so away they went. I'm not totally unhappy about it either given the way this went down, not to mention the strong prices. Congrats to the winners.

I had about a 12% bump with the added day.

I can't say I'm displeased with the outage!

This is why I suggested that they should have left it open for another week at least. Can’t be sure that everyone had a free day today to participate in the bullshit extra free day. How can that be fair?
Congrats.

For what it is worth...

As a buyer - I won and was not bid up on the one card I was winning last night when this whole thing started.

As a seller - I had 11 items and the extra day netted me an extra $125

As a bidder who was out - I was out last night before the craziness on 4 items...2 of those 4have been bid up quit a bit given the extra day (Cubs signed check lot and 1914 World Tour signed journal)...the other 2 didnt get bid up on

EDIT - the 1914 World Tour Signed Journal and 1917-1920 Cub Checks are still going

Come on, Scott, can't leave us like that. Which one?

Nothing rare or astonishing, just a really nice looking 21 Exhibits Ruth. I paid full price and then some, but the eye appeal is much better than the vast majority of most of them in any grade...

I was watching that one and bid on it. But I wanted some other type cards and knew I could get one of these in the future. Great eye appeal.

+1 Agree great looking eye appeal

and congrats to all on their pickups

I bowed out and did not participate in yesterdays finale part 2

[Carter08]

I debated one more bid but talked myself out of it. Really strong prices on not only the high end e93s but also the mid grades.

[LEHR]

Strong prices on the Carl Horner cabinets. I was hoping to snag one but bowed out. I still managed to snag one other cabinet so all is well.

I managed to win the one card I was after.

I was the leading bidder from just after the auction opened until 11:53pm on Sunday night when i was outbid. The technical issues prevented me from increasing my bid in extended bidding, so I was happy the auction was extended.

I finally managed to win the card in last night's extended bidding.

Now, bear in mind that I'm doing this from a UK time zone. I was up to 3:00am (10pm EST) on Monday night
Then I woke up to for extended bidding at 4:45am (11:45pm EST) only to encounter technical issues. Then last night I was up to 2:30am to do it all again. But at least, I got the card.

Signed,
Mr. Tired But Happy

T206 HOFers and rare backs continue to skyrocket. Happy with my one win.

[t206fanatic]

whoever I was battling for the higher grade T207's, well played.
