Goldin Winnings/Losings

[bcbgcbrcb]

I didn’t win anything, the most I could afford to spend on Wagner was the $30K where it was at going into extended bidding. I’ve had 3 of them over the years including that 2.5. I sold the last one for $13K in REA, I believe, around 2014.

Jeff-I think the postcard realizations were generally weak. I would have thought that the 1915 Boston card would have gone for a lot more. Same for yours with Ruth in the straw hat, especially considering how high that goofy ice cream one recently went.

Some poor guy has to pay for that 1915 Red Sox PC!

Speaking of 15 Ruth’s, shocked at how high that pitching staff photo went. Wasn’t that far behind the team postcard. Given the fact that it’s a team on the postcard, I really believe that this is one of the most overpriced cards of the last decade, this didn’t just happen during COVID. These were selling for six figures a decade ago. Team rookie items never bring close to what individual rookies bring. I think we see this one start to drop in value at some point.

Jeff-Did you win the 1915 Boston card--it's a beauty and has always been one of my favorites.

Always loved that postcard

Maybe it’s just me, but it almost feels like the train is leaving the station on the 1914 cracker jack Joe Jackson. Or maybe it’s just a temporary situation but I got a feeling this card continues onward and upward in the years ahead.

I missed the T206 SOV backed Waddell Port. I had a couple more bids in me, but got tied up just as OT kicked in. However it’s for the best, as I have a target card for an upgrade to the backs line, that’s going to take some serious saving and selling for a while.

Congratulations to all the winners and consigners!

I agree

I don't think this is a temp spike... I think the moment keeps up for years to come

The 1915 PSA 2 went for over $60k with the juice.

Are we comparing the same items? The pitching staff photo sold for $92,720, exactly 50% of the postcard.

Those two items were two of my favorite pieces in the auction and went for about what I was expecting. There are not too many Ruth items that pre-date his M101-5/4 rookie card, whether they picture him with his team/teammates or not. Congratulations to the winners.

I won the c1924 Ruth RPPC with the straw hat. I think the card went low because image was a bit blurry, but obviously I'm happy with the win because it's a very cool postcard.

I agree that the postcards went a bit low. I think the 1921 Exhibits Ruth went low too. I did not win that card and was really tempted there as it would have been a very nice upgrade for me. I'll probably regret it down the road.

Ruth exhibits have been weak for a while. Great time to pick them up--I think they are very undervalued.

I agree.

These prices shocked me:

Jeff:

It’s 1915. I bought it back in 2008 in a Leland’s auction, where it appeared along with several other Red Sox player postcards from the same spring training. As I recall, one or two of them were not with the Red Sox in 1916. I brought the postcard to SGC during my lunch hour at work and provided them with my documentation that it should be dated 1915. I left an hour later with the postcard in an SGC 50 (4) holder.

Be Nice.

That goofy Ice Cream Card is mine and it is 1 of 2 known and in prior sales it also has sold for a premium

Besides I like the card for my collection

LOL, I knew that would get a reaction.
