REA Summer Auction is open

[4815162342]

I’m sorry for outing them, but there are a few T206s available.

Time for my semi-annual plea for these auction sites to keep you logged in longer than 5 minutes.

Including a nice near set listed #25 on PSA registry.

Dammit, everyone needs to stop bidding against me.

Getting tired of this nonsense.

I'd publish a list, but that would just encourage people to bid against me even more.

Any one want to guess what the 1947 Bond Bread Jackie Portrait PSA 7 goes for?

I'm thinking 24K

I'll take the over.

I certainly hope you're right, the higher the better for me. I have a 5.5 in that card

WOW

Sensory Overload

Every where you look a WOW card

Many Cards/players I do not collect but the temptation is there are these rarities and goodies

This was a 2k card less than a decade ago. The market has lost its mind. Nothing has changed to make the last sale of 62k make sense.

There's definitely some eye candy. I bid on 38 different items and will be happy to win one or two when the smoke clears.

Obviously you don't have to say if you don't want to, but are you in on the PSA 8.5 1951 Bowman Mays, Nicolo?

HA.

Looks like a nice piece, for sure. But I'm going to sit pretty with my 8.0.

I'll let someone else pay the better part of a million clams for the 8.5.

We all have limits, and that much bread is more than I'm willing to deploy for a single piece of cardboard, be it ever so nice.

That and after my experience getting burned with my altered 54T Mays previously in PSA 8.5, my desire to climb the set registry ladder is greatly reduced, particularly on big cards.

[Republicaninmass]

I believe there is also a psa 8 in the auction sifting through the thousands of cards. Should bode well...or not

[jsfriedm]

Yes, plus one at Heritage and one at Goldin, all running simultaneously.

Have you decided what you are going to do with the 54T Mays?

It's resting comfortably in my display case, in its new and glorious AA slab.

I have designs to replace it with something a little less obviously odious, although I'm in no rush to do so.

Turns out, you wouldn't have needed the better part of a million clams after all. Meanwhile, the 8 didn't sell at all, and the 6 went for less than any has in a while. Not a good night for Mays rookies.

There were a few items I was interested in l/watching closely and they all met-to-crushed my expectation:

1933 Goudy Lajoie PSA 4.5 closed at $162?!?! Amazing card for sure, but that’s more than double what I expected

T206 Green Cobb Old Mill PSA 4 closed at $69k! Great looking example of a very tough combo, but that’s also almost double what I expected

T206 Magie error PSA 3 closed at $33.6k. It was a great looking example, but a little annoying since my 3, which was very nice in its own right, only brought $29.5k in ML’s spring auction. Considering I have a number of t206s coming up in their summer auction, I am trying to decide if it was condition difference that justifies the extra 10%, or does REA bring better prices on T206 than memory lane. I think it’s a little of both.

1906 W601 Detroit PC with Cobb, PSA A, closed at $11.1k. I figured it go for $10k-$12k, so spot on. Although I think this should be $60k+ item, given it is so super rare and given what the 1915 Red Sox (Ruth) team photo PC sold for…

1915 Red Sox (Ruth) Team Photo Post Card, PSA A, closed for $114k. Another same-graded and similar looking example sold for $75k, in REA, 4 months ago.

The 1914 CJs I was watching closed within range of what I expected - this continues to be a hot set.

It seems to me that higher-end prewar (player, rarity, set) is doing well given last night’s results. Plus, REA is a top-flight AH, so I would expect nothing less.

Half a million seems like a pretty solid part of a cool million to me, and well outside of my threshold for deploying my limited resources.

Apologies for my sarcasm. If that set is yours, good luck with the sale.
