REA - dammit I'm out already

[Shoeless Moe]

Got bids on about 8-9 items, obviously outbid on all, but now I'm out for extended.

Strong prices have knocked me out.........a 1st round KO.

I do have some consignments so I will make some money, but was hoping to get something.

Not a chance.

........on to next weekend and Love of The Game!

Not done there......................................yet.

[ullmandds]

ive got a few bids hanging on...but I'm likely done bidding. not much I have to have these days.

[cubman1941]

I have one still hanging around

[babraham]

I put bids in on five lots of the many that I was watching.
Still "winning" two of them, but doubt they'll even make it to extended.

[talkinbaseball]

I was outbid a long time ago.

[ClementeFanOh]

Any of you smart enough to consign rather than buy, are already ahead of
me My rule with REA is to just come out with one win per auction, just one.
We shall see... Trent King

[iwantitiwinit]

I'm in a similar position, put in 5 strong bids (I thought), I'm out on 3 already have 2 left with a little room but think I'm only have a true chance at one of them and it's not the one I really want.

[boneheadandrube]

Title of the thread reminds me of Roy;

[mrreality68]

Prior I put in a lot of preliminary bids and then some upped on the key ones I was thinking of.
Currently leading on 1 but most are already above my comfort zone
I will make it to round two but will probably be KO’d

[dfletch00]

Im out already ... but Tribe/ Guardians won so its a good day..ha

[IndyDave]

I’m down to one. Just upped the bid one more increment. Doubt it holds. We will see

Good luck to all

The wealth in the hobby has never been stronger ! Money Money Money Money it always shows up in the Big Boy Auctions REA Heritage Memory Lane and Mile High bring out the big guns with big wallets.

[Bobbycee]

These prices are unreal! So much for National & other auction fatigue.

[Schlesinj]

I noticed too late the 56 game hit streak combo ( ticket/signed program). I own a program already, but been looking for a ticket.

[Johnny630]

Well a 52 Mantle in SGC 5 holder is now almost 305k adding the juice

[jh691626]

Yeah, they had one item I thought was really cool, putting in a bid that I thought was way over what anyone else would bid…and I am just barely hanging on. We’ll see but yikes.

[nwfsteve]

I got to about 11 p.m. before I got knocked off a 52 Bowman Mantle PSA 7. Trying to see if I could bring it home for four digits instead of 5.

[HawkFan70]

I snuck in one late bid and hoping it holds on...out on everything else.

[Jewish-collector]

REA separates the men from the boys.

[nolemmings]

Here we go again--frozen out of the site now that the lot by lot 10 minute rule is in effect.

[Casey2296]

Aaand the server shuts down, right on que...

[imdaman1964]

REA-What a great way to extend a day
Crash at 12

[tiger8mush]

back up, lots close at 12:31am EST

[Rad_Hazard]

I'm pretty sure I got the card I wanted. It says it's closed now. It's definitely nice being on MST than EST for these endings. My first real auction house purchase.

[mrreality68]

Wound up being a window shopper.

Really nice items, strong prices

[felada]

I was mainly watching the 19th century items. Some lots went for what I thought were stupid prices. Some went really cheap or didn’t sell at all like the FBH Mutrie.

......and exactly what happened...

pretty much anything Ruth or Jackson but main items were

1916 Sporting News Joe Jackson
1908 Rose Postcard Christy Mathewson
1926 Exhibit Ruth
1927 Exhibit Ruth
1922 e120 Caramel Ruth
1915 Ruth Photo
1923 Maple Crisp Ruth
1920 Societe Anonyme Ruth
1916 BF2 Felt Pennant Jackson
1913 Tom Barker Jackson

[bobbyw8469]

Strong prices. The 20% buyers premium played into my bids though.

[LincolnVT]

The early stuff was so cool to see. Jackson and Ruth prices continue to be out of this world.

[ullmandds]

Well...I read about the "downage" this morning...I no longer stay up late for auctions...no card is more important than my sleep!

I was relieved to have been outbid on 1 card...I DID win one. Happy to add this ruth to my stable.

[Rhotchkiss]

Congrats Pete.

Jeff, I was wondering whether I would battle you on this Ruth.

Thrilled to have picked these two up, and I think I got them both at very reasonable prices.

Regarding the auction: (i) OK REA, I love you, but enough with the extended bidding glitches already. Figure that out once and for all, as its becoming a major detraction from what is otherwise one of the best auction events of the year. (ii) I thought prices in general were very strong. There were some bargains, but last night's results generally indicate that pre-war vintage remains strong

[mrreality68]

yep Ryan

That was the primary Ruth I wanted. Lucky for you and sad for me that my recent splurge on 6 Ruth Cards kept me grounded.

Great pick up and Congrats.

There is always a next auction and a next auction and so on

[Rad_Hazard]

I'm a low-roller so this was my win. I was a bit shocked by how cheap it went for. I can finally add my favorite 19th century player to my collection!

[becollie]

It looks like I significantly overpaid for the E-90 Young but thrilled to finally pick up a version that at least looks to be well centered with strong registration. In my view one of the 5 most beautiful cards of all time and this will be my third time owning one ... hopefully the third time is the charm :-)

Great adds Ryan I was happy to snag the E120. Took my to about where I thought it would top, on to LOTG. Jeff I should’ve contacted you and I sure never want to bid up fellow members.

Jeff, Thanks man I was hoping to get it a little less as I’ll want to reslab. It hit my top and was a nail biter to the end. I was anxious on the 20 min countdown. The color and centering for the issue I figured I better not let it pass.

[rjackson44]

i won the catalog

[Snapolit1]

This letter is an amazing piece. I went to sleep leading at 17k and expected to lose later on for sure, but was stunned to see the final price. Would love to have this.

That Young was, in my opinion, hands down the best looking card in the auction. I am sorry to admit that I was the underbidder and likely cost you some money, and I almost went back at it again. Congratulations on grabbing a gorgeous example of a key card.

Josh, great pick-up. Not too shabby either!

Red- nice pickup. Those Scrappss are very cool

Octovia- LOL. Enjoy. I am happy to give you mind. In fact, I tried to opt out of getting a catalog and I could not figure out of I could. I would be happy if you got mine and then you would have two

Yes. A buyer's premium of any amount plays into everyone's bids.

hi i have so many catalogs i love looking at them ..all in my office ..hope your well

[Shankweather]

I was in on the 1882 White Stockings Cabinet and the PSA 9 1961 Billy Williams, but the Williams really took off and I couldn't swing getting both. That's gotta be a record high for that card.

Agreed, loved this one!

I won the 9-page 1910 Cobb letter, great insight into Cobb's personality and the "I am with you" under the signature sealed it for me.

It is such a cool letter

I was the buyer of the accompanying baseball signed by Ruth and Gehrig

[BobbyStrawberry]

All I won was a good night's sleep! Was outbid before 9 pm
