I know a lot of folks comment that REA can be a relatively expensive place to buy - and there are certainly plenty of lots that demonstrate that.
But did anyone note any "bargains" in REA this time? From my perspective, the lots added at the end (they were not in the print catalog) were fertile hunting ground. This included some nice mid-grade Dockmans. My theory is that these got overlooked by bidders (the Dockmans that were illustrated in the catalog got strong prices - the Wagner throwing, SGC 40, went well over VCP). A late consignor put in a horde of E-cards...including several lots of Dockmans. I know Dockmans are not "rare" cards, but many of these late-added lots went for quite a bit under VCP. A couple of these lots would have been great dealer break lots. Also (on the subject of the flip), I bought the high grade '39 Moe Berg for $500+juice this time - this is the exact card that REA sold one year ago for $700+juice (a fact that was noted in the write-up). Cheers, Blair

I thought the d380 Joss was a good buy, thought about another bid at the end but didn't pull the trigger. I'm sure I'll regret that.
Also thought the 1891 Conly Studio cabinets went cheap. On the other end, this for $9400 is crazy... ![]() Someone really overpaid for the e107 Keeler too. |

Hi Scott,
I think I know exactly which one you won. Would the first name be Honus and the last Wagner?? ![]() And no, not the T206......

Lost out on both lots I wanted: The 1869 Red Stocking CDV ($11,750) and the Wheeling Imperial cabinet with Sol White ($17,625), both with juice.
Yeah Phil, I figured you'd be after the Wheeling cabinet! Sorry you didn't get it. I was also surprised how high it went. |

Wow Jeff. I didn't notice that that Ruth had gone for that much. You're right. It seems crazy even considering that the card appears from the scan to be a great candidate for a grade bump.

That Ruth #53 only makes sense if you can have a wrinkle removed, resubmit and voila a 7 or 8 appears on the flip

That Ruth was a card that Peter S was after; that explains the high price.

Amazing how thw the words "cheap" and "deal" are used for single cards that cost more than my first house! Don't let the media know about the prices realized in this auction or the "recession" will be officially over. I never new there were so many multi-millionaires in this hobby, I can't even afford the buyer's premium on 99% of these items.
![]() Congrats to all the winners & enjoy!
