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

So many auctions. Funny, people look at 6-7 major auctions and see 100 things to bid on. I've gone through them all and there is 1 thing I really would love to have. Really really love to have. Really unique piece of memorabilia. And I'm not tellin . . . . . .

Wow Memory Lane is Joe jackson and Babe Ruth overload also.

Going to be tough just sitting and watching

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

Love the auction, just amazing stuff.....BUT.......how is it possible that REA is still grouping Basketball, Football and Hockey into one category online? It makes browsing by sport SUPER frustrating and unless I'm missing something, there's not way around this.

Also, when moving from 'list' to 'detailed item view' a new browser page should open (as is with eBay) to enhance the searching experience.

Some auctions could definitely do a much better job to optimize browsing.

You should see an all categories pull down menu on the left hand tool bar that breaks everything down by sport pre and post war.

Yes, but basketball football, boxing and hockey are all lumped into the same category....currently over 1000+ results to scroll through even if you're only interested in one of those sports.
