1907 Tinker Cab

Wow.
So the REA auction generated $9.1 million in sales for that company, with large Mastro and Heritage auctions closing within two or three days of the REA close. The bidding was fast and furious, and as a guy who stays up all night long to watch the proceedings (I went to sleep at 4:30 AM), it was a trip to watch the Baltimore News Ruth jump from $220,000 to more than $400,000 after 1:30 AM, in five-figure increments. Money I can't even fathom, but it's awesome to experience.

For my part, I walked away with a Joe Tinker studio cabinet from 1907, and a complete set of N28 non-baseball cards. Since I have 6 of the 10 baseball cards, I'm left needing four for completion of the entire set - built the easy way. Can't wait to get them, although I've pretty much resigned myself to selling off my T206 collection to fund the purchases of these N28s.

Scans will come soon, I promise. Its busy, what with baseball season and all.
