REA is live!!!

The REA auction went live this afternoon and prices are already crazy on some lots. The catalogue shipped this week either Tuesday or today.

I guess the recession hasn't hit the deep pocket collector in this hobby. Then again, with the quality of material that Rob offers, I don't think it matters what the economy is like if someone wants something really bad.

I'm just itching to get the catalogue. The only thing better than looking at and reading it is the cards I buy for my collection.

I am really surprised by how much activity there is already. All I did was wait until I got home from work and I felt like I was way way behind. What a sight to see, this auction. Wow.

We should get a pool going on the top 10 or 20 lots by ending value - which they will be and maybe total value as the tie breaker. Even though it's already started, if you go to 20 you will get past what is already seen from bidding (and probably fairly known anyways just from the estimates).

I have a whooole boatload of bookmark bids in. I usually get shut out - it seems like people really dig the change out of the couch cushions for REA and run past me on the last day.

It truly is an amazing auction. I'm just floored by the quality of material available. Man, do I wish I had the funding to bid on about 20 lots. Some great stuff!

If I ever decide to consign some of my pricier cards to an auction house, that's where they're going.
