As an auctioneer this is my least concern, sorry about that.....(btw, I am a bottom feeder too )



Overall prices were high to average to low, imo.

I picked up one PCL card for less than half of what I paid many years ago...

A couple nice additions to my small (but slowly growing) collection. The staining on the Brouthers gives it character. lol ...and who the heck is Jim Keefe?

I've been wanting a card of Brouthers for awhile and I like the N162. I thought it would be neat since he played minor league ball in both the town I was born in and the town I currently work in. lol This one was affordable.

The Keefe I thought was interesting because of the "Jim." Picture's not the clearest, but again, it was in my price range.

Now to figure out where to scratch up some $ for B&L!

I was able to zero in on the completion of my 1911 Zeenut set (minus Bohen), getting very close. These additions were very welcome. Browning was an upgrade, Kuhn was just too good to pass up, but Smith SF is extremely hard to find as is Lindsay, partly because his descendants buy up every PCL Lindsay card there is. I guess they were busy last night and missed this one. Arlett is another toughie. Also managed an upgrade for my 1909 Obak set. I went hard after the Zeenuts and was glad to say that the final prices were well under my max bids. No shilling here!

I truly hope many of you were able to fill much needed holes in your sets or to upgrade a card or two. I am big fan of the upgrade!!
Tbob, I was also surprised about the Lindsay not going for higher. You are probably right, his family must have been asleep at the wheel. The Obak Miller was really active, I wonder if his family ended up with it. Congratulations on your Zeenut gets. They are truly wonderful cards, and I think you will find that many of them do not warrant the low SGC grade that they received once you have them in your hands. Fantastic eye appeal on both sides of the cards! My grandfather took great care of these (not very hard to when he essentially had them stuck in his deposit box for the last 50 years). Truly unusual for these types of cards.
I have not decided what my plan is for the unsold Obaks and Zeenuts as I am not an Ebayer type, but feel free to pm me if you have any suggestions/ideas.

Apparently this dude was involved in some sort of scandal.

Went into the night needing 9 Obaks to complete the 1909 set. Down to 4. The Whalen card was attacked by the Gandil card. Charges are pending.

Picked up my first PCLers in Goodwin last night. I feel like the prices were a little above average but was willing to pay a little more for the Weaver (which I've always loved) and the two other Obaks with (IMO) tremendous eye appeal.

I've always liked Bill's auctions and was satisfied with this one as well

[calvindog]

I thought the prices were very reasonable. And the concern about the starting prices on the Novelty Cutlery PCs seems to have been unfounded.

[sb32]

Picked up a few obaks. Chipping away at the sets. Among others:

1910 150s.


1911s


first 1909s

picked up the 1911 Obak with ghost image back

Man I wish I would have held off buying earlier in the year as the bargains have come out later... The market for cards continues to soften which is bad for the value of the collection but good for future buying needs...

IMHO the high starting price on the Novelty Cutlery Speaker caused the final hammer price to go well above what this card has sold for in the past while also taking into account the soft economy that we are experiencing. The final price including juice was $4,100+ and another bid would have brought it to over $4,500 which is why I backed off. I believe that it is around a $3,000 card during good times.

[quinnsryche]

Don't things (houses, cars, baseball cards etc.) usually sell for less in a bad economy, not more? Can you please explain as I think I might be missing something there. If the card sold for $4K isn't it then currently worth $4K (at least to a small group of collectors)?

[bcbgcbrcb]

You would think so, Tony. I actually have been trying for 5 years to add this card to my collection and just to get it off of my wantlist and into my collection, I felt that I "overbid" at $3,700+ but there was no way that I would go over $4,000 for it. I guess that there is one individual out there that was willing to go over $4,000 though........
