Hakes’ Wins and thoughts on Auction

[Jason19th]

I thought that the Hakes internet only auction was simply put very weird. Some items, most notably the Billikens, went much higher then expected. Every thing else went super low. I picked up the items below for less then 200 total (including pretty high shipping).

Let’s see you wins and hear your thoughts. I know a lot of the material in this auction was of less well known players, but it’s still really rare stuff. Was the auction not well viewed or is the market on this stuff really this thin

I forgot about the auction.

I was looking to add some Bilikens but the prices were unbelievable for "commons" of Caucasian non-negro league players
Nearly $1000 for Charlie Dressen?

[Jason19th]

Billikens are beautiful cards and even the commons are rare. But 1000 for Charlie Dressen is crazy. I am sure at some point in the 1920’s Charlie Dressen, the actual player, was sold for less the 1000

I thought it was a great auction with some very rare stuff. Hakes takes getting used to but they always have very unusual, hard to find material.

I’ll be honest. If they don’t advertise on here then I would never even know about the auction. I get all of my auction information from here. I can’t be the only one...
