REA Pick Ups

LOL!!! Pickups?? I bid up two lots to a premium and STILL got outbid at 2:30 in the morning. Can't help but laugh.....

I was happy to pick up the 1915 World Series Game 5 Program (Boston vs. Philadelphia) w/both team photos included. This program is significant because it was Babe Ruth's first world series appearance. The Babe is pictured in two different Boston team photos within the program.

Good news, bad news. I actually won something in REA for the first time and it was the lot I really wanted but had to bid one more bid than my supposed absolute max(set by me on day one) to get it. So while I won lot 72(fifty OJ's), I have to sell a lot more of it off than I planned. I hate extra work, but I crossed off a card that has been at the top of my wantlist for about 8-10 years so I'll take the trade-off

That is great news z28jd!! If you have patience, try pulling just the one card out, and the ship the exact same back minus the one card to REA for next years auction!! You will basically get the card free then, as I bet the set brings more next year than it brought this year!

Thanks. If I was the only one that put in on the lot, then I would do that but as it was, at the lower bid, about half the cards were going to be sold anyway by my bidding partner (aka bank of dad). The bigger picture is I did get the card I wanted but now I just have to figure out how much more than $free do I have to pay for it. I'm guessing $alot when it's all said and done

I lost my big dog, but it wound up much higher that Id be willing to pay even with full clearance from the wife. Underbidder on the t200/t222 lot, really wanted that. Did pick-up the 1940 play ball set, only 2 increments higher than my original max . After going thru lot by lot, it appears there were a few nice buys and I wish I had made a few more placement bids early on.

But, if the winner of lot #359 is out there (CJ display) Id love a chance at a couple of those CJs.

I would be interested in a number of cards from lot 1090: 172 autographed 1952 topps cards

Didn't go over my max.

May 11th Wallet Thickness = May 13th Wallet Thickness

There were a few lots I wanted more but they went too high. My main card I wanted was the Type 2 Coupon Cobb but it just went higher than I wanted to go on it. I can cross off the Contentnea pack as one I need as I got the T pack lot with it in it and I got the Contentnea type 1 graded set. Love the look of that set and was about 35-40% done already....so will mix-match the two and let the rest go. I fell asleep and woke up with a few bids left in me or I wouldn't have won anything.

Nice buys everybody

Nice card and bat Jamie..side note: haven't seen an ASA holder in a while, always liked them and thought they did a good job

Nice program Phil, outstanding actually
