Share your Wins and Observations from Sunday Night BBCE and REA...
My first observation is that prices were very strong for vintage and vintage unopened. Here are a few highlights which caught my eye.
- 1968 Nolan Ryan RC PSA-8.5....$33,600 (a record for the assigned grade)
- 1969 Reggie Jackson RC PSA-9 (gold diamond)...$93,000 (very close to a record for the assigned grade)
- 1948-49 Leaf Jackie Robinson PSA-7 (gold diamond)...$150,000 (double the most recent sale for the assigned grade)
- 1957 Frank Robinson PSA-8.5...$18,000 (a record for the assigned grade)
- 1958 Ernie Banks PSA-9...$9000 (my card...2nd highest price for the assigned grade)
- 1958 Topps Baseball Wax Pack PSA-6...$135,000! (BBCE)
Here is my lone pickup...

Shot my Sac today :)
Just arrived and was so thrilled to shoot it, wonderful piece imo. What the Mint should've done was to have 25 of these struck with enhanced tail feathers, with a numbered coa. If I were Mint director I would've pushed for this, imagine the frenzy that would've created? Still shooting with my d3100, with a AF Micro Nikkor 105mm 1:2.8 D lens, it has served me well. ss1/160, F7.1, iso 100, center weighted, lights at roughly 10 n 2, fyi.
Re: August Pickups - Sultry Summer Scores?
Always thought this 1988 Lofton and the 1988 Ballpark Cape Cod League Jeff Bagwell and Frank Thomas were truly some of the most beautiful minor league card poses out there. The poses on those 3 cards just hit me as classic and elegant.

Great pickup Monte! The REA auction was insane. I went 0 for 91 on my bids. Almost every card I was following went for 20% - 100% higher than recent sales. Nuts!
I did pick up this card in the Leland's auction though. Pop2 with no10's.
