I was the winning bid on a 1954 Ernie Banks RC PSA-8. I will post it when I have it in hand. I had an extremely nice Banks RC which I sold to a Cubs fan on this board a few years ago…and have since regretted it. Not sure if this one is as nice…but I am happy to have his RC back in my collection.
Just a few of highlights. A beautiful 1952 Mantle SGC-7.5 sold for $564,000. Stan Musial cards sold for higher prices than recently. I recall a 1962 Musial PSA-9 recently sold for $5500…but a PSA-9 copy sold in this auction for $13,000+.
A 1960 and 1961 Musial PSA-9 blew past the estimate of $4k, selling for $12,000 each. A 1963 Bob Gibson PSA-9 sold for a record $9300. As far as unopened…a 1948 Bowman wax pack PSA-7 (1 of 4 in existence) sold for $138,000! Open at your own risk...and better hope there is at least one Musial, Berra, Spahn RCs PSA-9s in the pack.
Post any other highlights or winnings in this thread.

I was after some of the 70s unopened, but just lost interest quickly.
There were some nice items in that auction. Nice high grade cards and sets.
I was after the 56 mantle 5.5/10. I ended up with only a couple Clemente’s A 73 which was ok but I have a PSA 7 73 now and the 63 sgc which looked really nice for the grade.
That mantle went so much higher than I thought it would. I just couldn’t keep going. I had all my eggs in that basket planning on taking it and wish I would have bought a couple others. I thought a lot of the prices were good buys and I have regrets.
Ive mainly been buying coins. But I did win one Unopened Pack for a hell of a deal I think.
1951 Red back wax pack with Berra Showing. 450.00 + %
My max bid was 1500.00 And I thought I might not win. Paid about average price for a pack that has the best card possible. As we all know these only have 2 cards. I could open this one and probably profit by just opening. paid about the price of a PSA 5-6 Berra. Pack is even graded an 8. So so Happy to own this one.
Very happy and been looking for years for one.
Pop 1 even. Buy all day at that price. Cant believe I won
I agree on the sets; went after a few but no bargains to be had on the ones I bid on.

Won a Cracker Jack Chief Bender, a Perez rookie and a ‘54 Johnston Cookies set. Stoked to get this Aaron rookie.
Monte I am sure your Aaron rookie is a beauty. Can’t wait to see a photo.
Regarding the complete sets, you have a few ebay sellers these days that buy them and relist card by card at crazy high prices.

Picked up a few. But one of my favorites was this one. Got it for 33% less than the last one that was also sold on Heritage this past September.

Awesome Wynn rookie. The colors pop on that one.
This is the Bender and the Perez I won. They had so many amazing Cracker Jack cards I had to get one of them.
For some reason photos are blurry. Will have to scan when in hand.
Perez is signing at the national. Just sayin’. Nice looking cards.
Brad…
Three (3) outstanding pickups! The Johnston Cookies Aaron RC is exceptional for the assigned grade. Just an eye-popping stunning card! Congrats!
Small stocks..,
Love the Early Wynn RC. Congrats!
It’s nice to see these outstanding
pickups…by board members!
Nice pickup. Surprised card not penalized for the discoloration in the upper right corner area.
Doesn't bother me in the least. I love the card.

I was 2nd high bidder on the 1933 OPC Shore. Anyone on here win it?
That's the most important thing. Enjoy.
This heritage shipment took a while. The SGC is as nice as I thought it was in the auction photo.
