Was shutout the first night but had 3 wins tonight. I faced stiff competition on all these lots but managed to come away with the e103 group of 19, the w517 Minis and the Tatoo Orbit group of 43. I know next to nothing about Tatoo Orbits and I suppose I'll be taking the time to learn a thing or two....anyone want to give me a crash course on this set?

I thought you might get the minis...

I got absolutely killed on my consignments and nearly all of the cards I wanted went high.

Congrats on the 1931 W517 Mini's, Brian.... I was watching that auction, but it went beyond where I was willing to go....

I picked up the 1936 Overland Candy Wrappers and the set of 1929 R315's. I have been looking for a 1936 Overland Candy Wrapper of Lefty Grove for many, many years.... I can finally cross that wrapper of my wantlist!!!!

Struck out on a few lots that I wanted, but ended up picking up the Star Player Candy Gehrig, which I'm happy about.

As is my want, I was underbidder on several lots...most notably the 1913 Oakland Oaks set. I did end up paying pretty well on the lot of 4 notebook covers with Wagner/Cobb/Mathewson/Griffith. Anyone have any idea if these could get a numeric grade from SGC...or are they destined to be "Authentic" examples?

Tough break on the Oaks Tom. That was my favorite lot in the entire auction. Just couldn't pull the trigger now that I'm retired.

There is a current auction at Goodwin for the Wagner notebook cover. It too is graded authentic. However, the auction description claims its only authentic because the borders were trimmed into the red, leaving no white. Not sure if this is correct, but if it is, then all of your copies would still be SGC eligible for numerical grades.
