Yes I am but can't win a T206 auction to save my life even if I bid 50% more than current high bid. My expectations are therefore very low.

Everything seems to be strong. There is a Duke Snider rookie I am seriously tempted to hit the next bid, as that is the only thing at a remotely fair price on my list.

[pete zouras]

with my hopes dashed of owning a cullivan fireside, and awoke realizing my hopes would be double dashed tonight. Fair is too nice condition of the type for me to own.

[mrreality68]

got the email

The '39 DiMaggio Play Ball hadn't received a bid since 9pm on 4/22..... until about 10 minutes ago when someone just bid on it.

amazing!

WOW well I guess that's why they say get your bids in early.

But there's no reason to believe that that same person wouldn't have bid in extended bidding last night if the site had been running properly. It's not proof of any difference. I don't know why the assumption is that with a faulty ending suddenly people will be willing to pay more that they would have if things had run properly. It's a logical leap I'm not willing to make.

Same flawed logic I've seen used to justify keeping an auction open until 6AM. But we got lots of bids from 5 to 6!!

I find it very hard to believe that a previous bidder on such a key card that had ZERO action since 9/22 intentionally waited until the extended bidding beginning at 12 am to make an additional offer. The site went down at 12:03 for me and many others..... I don't think it's a leap at all to think someone wasn't actually waiting until the final 7 minutes (resetting the 10-minute clock btw) - really, who would risk that on such a card?

Is it possible? of course, it is! I definitely don't think it's a leap to think someone woke up to see they had another chance to take a shot at a much-desired card they had bid on earlier in the auction and decided to bid?

No leap either way - but a crapy way for the auction to have ended IMO.

7 minutes is like a lifetime to an addicted collector waiting on the countdown clock. There was no conspiracy.

Carl, what you don't know is if the person who bid on this card 10 minutes ago is the same person who wasn't able to access the auction after midnight last night to place this same bid.

[Leon]

I got outbid on my last lot I was high on today. I think I am going to put my head down and dive back in ..Damn the torpedoes!

Agreed - but this isn't a $500-$5000 lot that someone tends to try to swoop in and grab. I've participated in a ton of these and though you're 100% correct in not knowing if that person would have bid in those final 7 minutes experience tells me the lot was dormant for 2 days (not unusual) but also from 9m to 12:03am (suspect that zero bids but someone MIGHT have wanted to lace a bid over 100k in those final 7 minutes).

I get the nuance and the 'nobody knows for sure' I just sympathize for the guy who got sniped at noon today on a card he most likely (not guaranteed) was going to win..... maybe he came over the to and ultimately won the card. Great DiMaggio too!

Agree with this. Hard to convince me that the extra day did anything but give more people more time to think about just going for it.

[CJinPA]

Whoever won the e92 Crofts Eddie Collins - congrats, and AWESOME pickup.....beautiful card and so, so, so rare!

nice to add to you collection!

Great pick up Scott, I went 3 for 4, lost out on the Gehrig exhibits but happy with my pickups.

I won the 27 exhibit gehrig. Love the image and fact that it’s the same as his rookie image really appealed to me. After reviewing the pop it also appears it’s very more scarce than some others

Congrats! I still don't know your name.

[ullmandds]

some of the results were absolutely staggering!

[Schlesinj]

The Charleston went for $132 w BP. It was $40k range at midnight. I was shutout but was going close going one more on the 1906 Harrisburg Giants photo and Pop Lloyd.

[Bridwell]

It was interesting to see some lots stay still from last night, while others doubled in the final minutes tonight.

I had bid on many items early in the auction and then waited until tonight to let a few go, while grabbing a couple of others. I guess, we have to improvise as we go. You have to play the hand you're dealt!

It was a successful auction overall. REA had an incredible selection!

[Peter_Spaeth]

Believe it or not, the site appears to be down, was hoping to look over some prices.

[JohnnyFinance7]

I've been looking for an Ed Delahanty card for months now; coming close a few times. I was finally able to win one.

I abandoned my pursuit of the E94 Speaker’s despite how infrequently they come up for sale (and how much I love those cards) in favor of this. I was afraid I’d get priced out of these eventually and decided to make a move now.

Nice pick up Adam and a good call, Speakers are tough but they'll still be available at an affordable level compared to the Cobbs.

[55koufax]

REA's service still #1 in my book. Messaged my contact there today. My auction winning's already p/u'd by FEDEX and I will see pkg on Left Coast this Thur.

Compare to Mile High (who is generally reasonably swift). From payment date at the end of March, it took until 4/25 to receive auction winnings.

[FourStrikes]

perhaps this all sucks for both buyers and sellers, but...
technological shit WILL happen when we all least expect it???

as both a buyer and seller in multiple auctions for over 20 years:
shit's gonna happen! - welcome to the "real" world.

[MattyC]

Awesome Jackson RC, so nice for the grade.
Same for that red Cobb.

Those Old Judge Delahanty cards are fantastic and I hope to add one in the future; he is a figure who really captures the imagination.

Personal opinion is it’s too easy to say shit happens. AHs most important job is to make sure there is integrity in the process, mostly including the close. Before I say shit happens would like to know whether the AH had issues before and whether it took any actions to correct the problems with more capacity, etc.

Thanks guys, great cards by all. Ryan that Wagner pre-rookie is awesome, and love seeing all those rare back M101-4/5s and Lajoie, Aaron. Glad the card market continues to be healthy.
