Won a trio of Turkey Reds, bid on a ton more, still a solid strong market on T3/T9's

I won the mislabeled Tenney variation. Even with the writing the NY and Boston is very desirable. Not only was the card mislabeled as "NY" it also reads checklist back, when it is an ad back!

Nice Job Mac...clearly your pockets are deeper than mine as I was out of the race by Sunday afternoon....nice card! JT

Congrats Jay. I was eyeing a few T3's as upgrades, but the prices were very strong, so did not pick up any. But I was happy to see that T3's are holding their value (or even increasing somewhat!).

I picked up five E101's to continue my work on that set, think I'm up to 33 now. There's been a noticeable uptick in available E101's the last few months, so I've really started to make some headway in something that I thought would take years. Sadly, the Mathewson went into the stratosphere, which was not too surprising since it looked great, but I was a little bummed to miss out on the E101 Lajoie as a Nap & E101 collector. Someone just really wanted that card more than I did. Or had deeper pockets than I did. Or both. No worries though, the joy is in the hunt.

I picked up a tough Cobb, a bit beat up, but it’s a beauty in my eyes

Struck out on most but still snagged the E94 Crawford. Nice pose.

T206 prices in this auction overall were actually flattish compared to eBay prices from July and August. And that includes the buyer's premium. So I guess it depends on your baseline. I was pretty underwhelmed with the final bids. I say that as someone who still has a nontrivial T206 collection and would like to see prices continue to rise.

T206 commons below grade 5 are definitely slowing, too many available every month.

The T204 prices were strong, especially given the fact that most were lower grade. Most of the few mid grade examples, did very well, many 1's-2's were nearly double their recent prices.

Agreed. Most of the T206’s I had bid on and on my watch list have trended down a bit, but there were a few that ended stronger than I thought.

LOVE the E94 Crawford. Thought the price was really strong, given that there has been that SGC 1.5 sitting on eBay for $599 for a year. But the one from this REA auction is much nicer. Congrats John!

I really wanted this one but had to bow out. Great pickup.

I can’t wait for REA’s big auction stating Friday! I’m expected great stuff as always.

[pete zouras]

except for the Coupon of Bradley.

I got a few of the tough T205s i need for a master set, notably the Dolly Gray Stats on Back. Actually has only 56 graded by PSA, behind the rare Matty and the Hoblitzell only. Paid for it. I also upgraded the T9 Wolgast (boxers went pretty strong). To me, you need those to have a complete set, they are in the checklist after all. They are really beautiful, cool cards anyway.

I also got a few other psa 4 T205s that were quite tough, A Leifeld and the Wilhelm. Nice cards, only about 100 psa graded. A bit more than i wanted to pay. Let a bunch of others go. But it was a nice selection, not sure when we will see all of those again soon in nice shape.

Thought the t213-2s went pretty cheap but i didn’t have energy to focus soon enough.

This REA special auction set break was fun.
I prefer lower grades/decent eye appeal.
This has plenty of that!

I had a long bid list that kept getting shorter last night as the text messages piled up. Out Bid.

I chased a few of the T3 and only ended up with Fromme.
I actually thought they would approach 250 for commons and they seemed to settle around 200. Some conditions were obviously going on either side of that number.

The 14 CJ were strong! I was outbid on my marker bids and when I went back in to get more serious in the extra session, it was already too late!
I liked Blair. Congratulations to that high bidder.

I can say I bid on the T205 Hobby No Stats!
I was outbid …LOL.
I could finish my Kraken set easier than I could finish the EGGS Master set.

More of these auctions are encouraged!
