REA memorabilia pickups

[HiNeighbor]

Maybe it's me, but I think some people have more money than common sense.

$5000 for a 1915 WS Boston Press Pin? This pin sold for a little more than $2000 a couple of years ago (I know, I consigned it).

$6000 for a 1915 Game 3 Boston WS program? This is a fairly common program unless the scoring is making it worth more for some reason.

$80,000 for a 1903 WS program. This one I can almost (??) see because of it's rarity. But the other two?????

Plus the premium?

Yikes. I know I haven't been actively collecting for about a year now (it's gotten out of hand), but holy cow.

P.S. if anyone wants either one of the first two pieces at these prices, let me know...

If anyone wants to buy the real Sox right now, you can probably get them cheaper than these auctions prices. Sorry, in a bad mood since losing three straight to the Orioles. It's not going to be a fun summer...

Hi Greg,

This one also blew me away. This was on my list to compliment a photo I have of this game but it went for triple what I would have paid. I was stunned.

Rob,

Great pickup on the Jack Greney lot. I love that canine mascot.

Despite being blown away on the WS program I did manage to grab a very nice picture lot. From the estate of former Sox player Amos Strunk. Total of 13 photos from Spring training 1919. A nice capture of time from just after a WS win and before the sale of the century.

Nice pickups all. I had seen that Dog lot, cool stuff.

Nice pickup Mike. I didn't even see that lot in my search, not that I was looking real hard. The one piece I did like was the Cy Young program. Somebody explain to me why that 1915 program went so high...
