    I didn't win the McCovey 8.5 that I was bidding on. I did think there were some decent deals on some Post War HOF RC's.

    Since I collect Jackie Robinson cards, I was naturally watching those auctions..

    The '55 Topps Jackie Robinson Double Header went for $806... about $700 less than it went at Goodwin..

    '55 Topps Jackie Robinson went for $284, which, even with the BP, is lower than that card has been going for on eBay.

    Unfortunately, the one JR card that I was going for went for a bit higher than I was expecting (the '54 Journal American).

    Well, I guess I was looking at the wrong items then. 19% premium is kinda steep as well for buyer's comission, but I guess that is the norm now.

    I won the lot of 448 1964 PSA 9's and the 64 Curt Flood 9. The auction didn't end until 3:15 Central time, crazy.
    From what I can tell, 707 is the DOLLAR STORE compared to deans_cards. For what that guy charges, if I ever bought anything from him I would expect it to be delivered to me in a frickin' limo.

    All in all, I thought many lots sold pretty low. The up and mostly down stock market probably had some effect too.

    i normally get smoked at mli auctions but i actually won some stuff.

    i do not know if it was a fluke, the economy or people getting disenchanted with mli. i consigned with them last year and was underwhelmed. there may be more unhappy consignors this time.

    I won a box of 86 topps football wax, for 293 + 58 buyers fee. Still cheaper than a box at BBCE by 100

    I won the 1967 Topps Tillman PSA 10 for my 67 Red Sox team set.

    This is a pop 1 card so I was not expecting to get it very easily.

    Final price was $354 (before buyers tax), which is about half of what I would have expected to pay for it on ebay, so I was very pleased.

    Can anyone explain the 64 Brock & Santo PSA 9 lot price of $1575 before the buyers premium?
    Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all "right-thinking" people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

    This is known as “bad luck.”

    I won the 71 Yaz PSA 9. Good addition to my Yastrzemski Basic Set. I needed the 64 Yaz in 9 as well but was outbid.

    I lost on a Joe Louis rookie.

    I ran up the bidding on this one. I was willing to overpay a little, but it got too insane.

    Makes no sense at all unless a Brock collector really wanted it. I was watching that and was going to bid around 700 for it. That price is insance. I was also going to bid on the 66 Santo PSA 10. It sold for around 1500 plus the bp. The items I always watch and bid on go for crazy money. I wish for once my stuff would just sell for the opening bid like so many other lots.

    I did not even look at the auction. After getting charged $22 to ship 1 psa graded card that I bought for $180(with buyers premium) in their last auction, I told them to delete my account.

    That card went for much more than I expected. I recently sold my PSA 5 copy on eBay for $76 and still have my BVG 5.5. The Louis PSA 5 eBay Link was a crack out of a GAI 4.

    I was watching this lot to see what the market was like. It held around $100 for a long time until the last day when it exploded.

    I was in up to $377, but after that - I was happy to bow out. It's a tough card to find in PSA 8.5, but I already have two of the (PSA 5 and PSA 6.5) and I just couldn't justify paying over $500 for it.

    I'm happy to see vintage boxing rookies selling for good money, though.

    I bid on the 1935 National Chicle Bull Tosi PSA 6, but the winning bid was $3,117.80 with the BP. With CA sales tax and shipping, it would have been around $3,400.
  • SouthsiderSouthsider Posts: 1,049 ✭✭✭
    I was in on the Tosi as well. Went higher than I was willing to go.

    To the under bidder on the 53 Podres RC PSA 8, PM me as I have one that I would be happy to sell at $1800 and you won't be paying a 19% VIG!
    The next bid on the 55 Robinson plus the BP would have pushed it above the recent sales prices on Ebay.

    lol Jason. Did you win any of them from Memory Lane? I couldn't believe how high the Journal American card went.

    I'm still envious of you for having the Hocus Focus card. When you decide to sell it let me know lol.

    Nope, i didn't get anything, just watched. The majority is out of my price range. I really want a 52 in about PSA 5, can't even think about the PSA 8 that was on there. Would also like to upgrade my 53 PSA 6 to a PSA 7. Mostly I have been picking up cheap stuff off of eBay lately. Just got a nice 50's pinback, and I had won a 1962 Hall of Fame Luncheon pin for cheap, but the seller backed out, saying he lost it.

    I will let you know when I want to sell my Hocus Focus. Or I should say, i will have my kids contact you after I die to sell it to you! LOL.

    Take care,

    Jason
