REA amazing auction

[Rhotchkiss]

Went to an REA event tonight at the Babe Ruth museum; saw Brian, Matt, a few other REA and Net54 guys. Very cool event. They had the BN Ruth displayed, along with the BNs others in this auction and blue variations, including a second Ruth

Wow, so about $25 million sitting there, give or take a few million?

Ryan, that’s awesome! Will they be auctioning the Blue Ruth at a future time? Not that I’m in the market for either, barring an unexpected lottery windfall (which is impossible, since I don’t play the lottery).

The REA auction has an 1899 David Fultz autograph in a book he presented as a Christmas present. Remarkably, I bought the exact same book with Fultz autograph from a board member a few years ago. I don't have a reason to doubt either one but what are the chances that he gave the exact same book to the same person in 1899? Mine is the second photo.

Turns out that the books are a 2 volume set and Fultz gifted both to the same friend!

The blue 2.5 is way nicer than the red 3.

[Rhotchkiss]

I don’t think there are plans to auction the blue.

Scott, I agree that the grades on the two cards appear to be reversed! That said, they are both amazing and grade in a card like this is irrelevant. It’s real and it’s awesome

Of course you must realize that it now incumbent upon you to reunite them!

Good Luck!

This auction is stacked with huge cards. Of course, I finally choose to consign and my cards are dwarfed relative to others in this. Nerve racking

meanwhile they rejected my 879 1987 Topps Barry Bonds RC cards
most PSA Graded 8 and 9 with seven TENS

I was there as well. Good times.

Will the winner,of the 1914 Ruth have to also pay REA a 20%
auction fee? Or,a special lower fee due to such a large price?

[Rhotchkiss]

The winner always pays the 20% BP. It’s just part of the purchase price. The question is how much if the BP will the consignor get - with the BN Ruth, I expect it’s much more than your average consignment

For sure agree. I would guess the consigner gets a bite of that BP apple by way of 5-10% extra on top of the price. That’s a min I would have negotiated with the AH responsible for this historic card.
