What all did y'all lose in REA auctions yesterday?
I had really hoped this morning to be posting some wins from REA, but I got shutout last night. I bid on and lost the following 3 lots. REA has an outstanding selection of quality lots, but these are the ones I was hoping for.
1895 Hugh Duffy HOF signed "rookie card" - This is about the sickest signed card I've ever seen. Certified by GAI (why I don't know), but also certified by PSA/DNA and JSA. I wasn't even close on this one, lost by over $1,000

Michael Jordan autographed lot with nice vintage sigs from his UNC days. I was the underbidder on this one.

Multi signed Ty Cobb ball that I was going to have made into a single signed ball for display in my own personal collection. I was the underbidder on this one as well.

Oh well, the day wasn't a total collecting loss as I did manage to come to terms in principle yesterday on a really sweet card for my signed rookie card collection. It took away my ability to chase the Jordan and Cobb lots above any further, but the signed rookies are my #1 priority for my collection. I'll post that one up probably next weekend as soon as the remaining loose strings are wrapped up on the deal.

That Perez was a sweet card
Will have to settle for putting it together card by card- probably more expensive but a lot more fun!
Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's
The 1927 Churchmans famous golfers ended up going for 19K + the juice....way outta what I was willing to pay.
The 1914 Marsuma set was a pretty good purchase at $4250....I have chosen to buy some other golf cards instead so i dropped out on this one early as well.
There was also the 1923 Copes golf strokes set. It went pretty cheap. It is #2 on the registry ( I have the #1 set) and I only could use two cards to upgrade what I have so I was not going to go too crazy on this one...I just hope I can track down the winner and make an offer on those two cards! This set is REALLY rare to find in any grade but it does not feature a Jones or Hagen which limits its popularity.
Overall a strong showing for golf cards. Someone picked up some great stuff albeit at pretty strong prices.

Collector of Vintage Golf cards! Let me know what you might have.
I am regretting the '52 Bowman set though, last year REA sold one for $3500 before the juice.
This years '52 Bowman set was actually pretty strong for mid-grade.

I got a few lots including the Mantle lot of 29 autos and the Mantle lot with the over sized Dormand cards.
I know it's going to be tough!
<< <i>Guess the economy is back on track, $20k for a golf card set? wowee.

The people that have that kind of money to spend on golf cards aren't affected by the "economy".

The BBCE retail on those are $570 + $1,500, $2070 total.
And the 74/75 box sold for $1,200 (vs $1,900 bbce). And what happened to the 68 topps football box?
um, wow. Tough to collect the local boys I guess. Great auction to look at thou!
<< <i>Was my first time bidding in a auction. Was interested in the 1979 Topps hockey box. It sold for $4700. This is a crazy price considering you can buy a box from BBCexchange for $2400. Do prices usually get this inflated because peope trust REA more then others? >>
Ummm, well, sure-- that's one explanation.
