The Hull Collection round 1 is over and there were some killer prices on some great stuff. How'd you do (I was knocked out in the 11th round)? More info:
Well Adam I picked up the "Ho-Hum" Kilrain. I am pleased. Great auction with great stuff. I'm glad they eliminated the floor auction for this one. Pete C. did a terrific job. It's nice to do business with a front line guy that has manners...
I have the JLS in Canada Chop. SGC gave it a lower grade because of the "D" on the back. They consider it a "mark" just as a pencil mark because of the lack of information concerning the "D".
Andy, you and I would have paid the same for it and I knew it would not top the big bidders out there, so I didn't even bother. The height to which it climbed surprised me at the end but I suspected a five-figure result on the card based on the number of wealthy collectors who'd told me they wanted it.
After speaking with you I decided that I was willing to go higher on the Jeffries than I originally planned, but I still had no idea that it would sell for such a high price.
---------- 1911 E80 Philadelphia Caramel Jack Johnson SGC 40 VG 3 $1,673.00: More than doubled the last known auction price on an SGC 30 Johnson. -------------
Darn, I knew I should've held on to that card !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
