I definitely don't keep track of all of them, but for the 12 or so that I do watch, I've started using a method that I recently saw mentioned here on net54. If you have a bookmarks folder in your browser for the auction sites, rename each bookmark with a prefix for the date of the next auction and place them in chronological order. For example...

0512 Heritage
0512 Sterling
0522 REA
0525 Hunt

etc. It requires some editing and moving around the bookmarks every few weeks, but overall it's not too cumbersome and makes it easy to see what's coming up.

+1 for Auction Report

My consignment of a SGC 2 53T Mantle went a bit more than expected. Not a mind blowing card, but a nice example of the Mick.

I use Auction Report as well, but that’s only as a supplement to my spreadsheet where I have each AH listed and the dates of each auction. That way I don’t miss any. I highlight ones where I have something I’m bidding on vs those where I’m just watching stuff to learn/document values.

I bid on nothing, thought it was one of their weaker auctions and I think that probably contributed to the lesser interest and bidding on some. Doesn’t mean much.

On the other hand, anyone see the prices on those psa 8 nm-mt 33 goudeys in the other auction?? Wow. $65k for Andy Cohen? Went for $26k a few months ago?

It was just one of their monthly auctions not one of their bigger quarterly auctions. The prices on those Giudeys is incredible.

Focused on the T206 Ames hands at chest Piedmont 150 and won it. Have my raw for sale on site now.

I think you delivered breaking news here. Reading these comments, my guess is that half of the posters were unaware of this key fact.

I placed 4-5 placeholder bids on day one but didn't pursue anything after that. After seeing the same cards over and over and over again for 40 years I've pretty much burnt out on collecting cards and am only buying sports memorabilia and photography now. Looking forward to the next REA catalog auction which I'm sure will have a more diverse offering.

Hardly. We all know that. It’s of marginal interest because of that.

Who the hell is Andy Cohen?

I had to look him up. Is he the guy who played 3 years in the 1920's? Why does he have card and not Cobb?

I hope they fired the idiot who made that decision back in 1933.

I could not believe what the 53 Bowman color Mantle went for.
