REA wins...

hey mark those type 2s have dropped a bit the last couple years (besides the delahanty). would love to see how thick is the cardboard compared to the 1s.

i won 1 lot but lost out on a few i really wanted...e105 wagner, e135 collins-mccarthy ruth, and a couple jaxes. i'm already burn out/broke and there are still sloate, memory lane, and goodwin ending this month? yikes!

Thats what happens when you go after a E103 Wagner and win

As for E107 type 2 prices, i was talking to Jonathan Freund, the guy who had a ton of the E107 cards in REA and he was telling me that he paid a hefty price for the Delahanty a few years back and did not expect to recoup his money on that.

When i get the Leach i will check it out and see how thick it is. Seems a lot of people think the type 2 E107 cards were actually a issued set. The world may never know....

Stunning Cobb.

Figures I would want this one.

Mark,

Nice win on the e107 Leach. That actually used to be my card as I went for a Type 2 e107 set at one point. The best I could do was 5/8 though. I had the Delehanty, Lajoie, Keeler, Leach and one other common, Doyle I believe. I needed the Seybold, Tenny (always the darn Tenny!!) and the recently discovered Waddell for completion. I ended up picking up the Waddell a little later on and have since parted ways with that card. The Waddell is currently sitting in Sloate's auction and is a gorgeous example of an e107 HOFer and is a card where only one or two exist.

Type 2s are printed on a thicker, heavier cardboard. The backs are typically a dull greyish or whitish color. Interestingly enough I have seen backs made out of two different materials. One looks like it was cut straight off a box, the other (the whitish material) resembling something cut off an advertising display. They are very neat cards and a cool "subset" to the e107 Type 1 monster. I found it VERY cool to be able to tell people that I was "going after an e107 set" a year or two ago.


Anyways, I did pick up a few things this weekend as well. Some tough d359s, some nice looking e102s and some Mayos. I've tried to upload scans and post them but I'm not sure if I did this correctly....









-fixed (BF)

brian nice score...i was underbidder on the e102 set....contemplated throughout the evening when i was get outbid notices to put one more bid on the lot but decided not too since mastro will break up a few e94/e97/e102 sets that i might need.

wonka,

sweet! now i can't wait to see you joining t206collectorihaveaplankandautot206cards updating/reminding us every time there's a new magie/plank hits the auction block...receiving a new bid...or someone thinking about putting in a bid...or even someone selling some cards to get money ready to maybe contemplating putting in a bid...basically trumpeting everything t206 plank/magie-related since you guys have those cards. i can't wait

yea, i'm bitter because i don't have a t206 plank! even a trashed, crappy, raggedy one...

Quan, LMAO one of the funniest things I have read in years!!!
