The special items that if you don't grab it you may never see it again, or at lease not for some time does great! And the stuff you see over and over again does ok.

I had quite a few cards on my watch list last night. Some of them ended above comps and others below. I was thinking of going after one of the lower grade 51B Mantles, but they went too high, IMO.
The PSA 6 Leaf Jackie went for only 22k. Anyways, I won a Ruth for a decent price and so I'm happy about that!

The PSA 6 Leaf Jackie that went for only $22k was some sort of anomaly. I've been tracking them, and just days earlier a PSA 5 sold for $25k in a Collect Auction. This example somehow slid under the radar; congrats to the winner!
Ryan, really thrilled for you! Congrats man! PS- A market observation: signed cards, especially Mantle, Mays, Aaron, Clemente, etc., continue to be red hot. The Mays signed rookie went for $50K! And a diverse mix of (very nice) signed Mantle cards sold last night for around $6-10k each, with several north of $20k. Definitely a robust pricing uptick in that sector.

Regarding the PSA 6 Jackie, two things that may have held it back a bit are the L/R centering and the older cert and case (although to my eye it looked had pretty strong corners, at least, for a PSA 6 even with the older cert).

Not sure they had the dating/history right on that Reccius Wagner.

I bought the 1st Henry Reccius Wagner card after it was discovered/marketed/sold by Hunt Auctions in the late 1990s. I paid $14k+ and thought it went kind of “cheap”. When I talked with David Hunt shortly after the auction he said a lot of phone lines were down (was a “live” auction) and a lot of potential bidders were lost for this reason (online auctions weren’t around yet).
A month or 2 after I had the card David Hunt reached out to me saying another one was “discovered” and did I want to buy it privately. It was being offered to me since I owned the 1st one. I was concerned, to say the least, and I did not buy the 2nd one. He had sent me crude scans, via fax, and I passed on it. Some time later I talked with David Hunt regarding the 2nd one and whatever happened with it and he told me it was deemed a hoax as the “crude scans” were actually taken from catalog pics of the 1 I had. I ended up selling the card through a Mastro auction a couple of years later and made good money on it… To this day, some 25 years later, I am still puzzled by that card. Something just wasn’t right about it. It was (is) of a completely different paper fiber than other cards/mounts/cabinets from the late 1800s/early 1900s. It was (is) of an orangish/brownish color paper which is also odd. The Reccius Wagner I owned was the one that now resides in the baseball Hall of Fame. It’s also interesting to note that I had talked to people at the HOF while I owned it and at that time they wanted nothing to do with it. |
