Piece of cake.

Work that calendar!!

Put in some feeler bids on the auctions for pieces you might be interested in. Then go to Strongsville and see if there’s anything worth picking up. Since the auctions all close after the show, if you still have cash left, then circle back to the auctions.

In the end, you’ll either blow it all on a few pieces that tickle your fancy, or you’ll strike out because everything exceeds what you’re willing to spend by thrice your limit.

Mischief managed!

Same on that Clemente rookie. That yellowish-white dot below his ear just jumps out at me. If it were off in the corner somewhere or on the side like what appears to be print line I could maybe be OK with it, but since it already is going to set somebody back 3/4 of a million $, I would hope against hope that it is on the holder. Oh well, any price to climb up the registry ladder, I guess.

Now I just saw that the reserve is not met, so apparently I once again don't seem to know what the hell I'm talking about when it comes to these high-end cards.

Not that I am bidding this go around because of my recent pickup, but definitely right now very hard with so many auctions with so much good stuff going on at the same time and closing within days of each other and then HA opening on 4/20

On the flip side it is even harder sitting these out

LOTG just put out a preview and Al has put together another amazing offering. Memory Lane will open soon too. "So many auctions with so much good stuff" is spot on!

Saw those also and amazing items on LOTG.
But on the flip side that could potentially hurt some items with only so much money around at one time and also if same cards or similar come up in multiple auctions could split the money and bids and lower prices potentially on some cards

Just curious Ryan are you donating to the needy collector addicts? Or providing low interest loan?

I know you are joking, but this is exactly what PWCC (and likely Goldin) does with cards in their vault. I think it’s a great business model for the lender if the LTV is low and interest rate is high; especially if you have control over the card and a platform to liquidate it. Probably not so good to be the borrower! That said, I could see where a person may responsibly want something like this short term - a must-have card comes up, you don’t have the funds, but you fully expect to have them in the not too distant future.

Off Course joking and yes I am sure many people use it just hopefully they use those loans responsibly

For me I buy it if I have it or I pass and wait until I do even if it means I miss out.

Slow, strategic and steady for me

I can't believe I've got a bid still leading after two whole days. Won't last much longer, I'm sure.

Bid on my Leland's consignments. You know you want that 1910 Negro League postcard

Curious on the hidden reserve amount for the psa 9 55 Clemente.

My guess is 1 million. Current bid is 600,000.

There's been 24 bids, so that's a good sign that it's seeing good action so far. The only question is whether the bidders will lose interest and give up before the reserve is met? Or will they power right on through!?

My guess is that if the reserve is met prior to the last few days, then it won't be an issue. If we get to within a few days of the auction closing and the reserve still isn't met, then bidders will lose interest and stop bidding, and it will go unsold.

Looks like you win a prize. Reserve was met with the last bid at $960 all in last night!
