Anyone bidding on stuff in the Morrie auction today?
« on: June 29, 2015, 09:54:16 AM »
I see a few items I would like to add to the collection but some of the starting bids are way over the top, IMHO. Maybe they'll trickle down and be sold elsewhere.................

I cant say I blame him for protecting the low end on items, I do think there will be a lot of passes today.

Even the items listed on ebay (the live auction items) had some very high opening estimates. But if Morrie can get that, all the more power to him. It shows the caliber of his material.  notworthy.gif

Which listings are those?

How about that Metropolis card opening at $20k.  All things considered, I'd say that is in the ballpark.

Although the three that sold on eBay a few months ago had trimmed edges, they were a heckuva deal at $255.

Anyway, the one currently on eBay is rad.

Totally agree with you there. Those ebay trimmed cards might have been the deal of the century.

Several of the first few have gone for higher than the maximum estimate.  

Cool cards for Undine, the first known mermaid film.  cool1
