Classic Bidding War Result?
This could be the result of a classic bidding war between two people who wanted the card badly. That's all it takes to end in an eye popper. I was watching the bidding during the auction's last days and as I recall it was at $100,000 or so on Sunday. Incredible final number. Wow.

For those that own a card of this caliber, has this sale motivated you to think about selling?

.. The current thread about capital gains on baseball cards has cooled a lot of jets , at least until their applications for Swiss citizenship are approved. ..  ......fortunately in my situation my capital gains on my own '52's will permit me to remain in Pottsville R D 4 , where the goats and sheep take care of the lawn. ..

And picking Swiss citizenship may not be a great move. Along with income taxes levied at the federal, canton (their version of our states), and municipal levels, the Swiss may also levy a wealth tax at the canton and local levels. My understanding is their taxes can be as complicated and confusing as ours.

This REA SGC 5 example in question is certainly not what I would call the absolute best centering for a 311-- yet that degree hardly if ever surfaces, and a collector waiting for it can be waiting years and years. There was a 3 that sold at Heritage last year for $162,000 that had what I'd call as close to perfect as they come, and I believe PWCC has an SGC 7 with that degree of centering for over a million ask. So the REA card is certainly a very strong one graded on the curve against what surfaces (the usual tilt and centering problems), and all it takes is two bidders with the right bankroll to slug it out. Auctions bring a competitive angle into the mix that simply cannot be ignored. And if a card brings out a mix of passionate collectors and card docs who see dollar signs, that is the recipe for very spirited bidding. It's happened to me on certain cards when I later found out I was bidding against a collector or two and a doctor. Last edited by MattyC; 08-16-2022 at 01:28 PM.
