Do foils not sell as good from this as Bowman 1st?

What foils do you mean? I am not aware of any foils in 2021 Bowman

I believe he is talking about the color paper spots. I assume he didn't know they aren't foil.

Congrats if you did!

Last year, in 10 cases the autos raised $41,368. Dominguez was $11,243 of that though which is an anomaly.

The entire 10 caser raised $61,397 last year and we made it 14+ cases, but the autos raised 67% of the total.

This year I went with 20 cases (perhaps a mistake) and autos raised $41,679. That would seem to indicate a total of about ~$62,000. We are already at $61,881 though and I just got through the auto bids...

This is always such an enigma to guess, but I have never had a successful auction with the autos raising less than 50%. That much I know. I don't know much, but I do know that.

That's why we give you the 10:00 time stamps. I bid with 5 seconds left and my bid went through though so it's not too bad.

I gave it to him. It is missing the initials but has CRA and whole name so no question what the bid is.

He outbid me for Mountcastle here too so I wish it was missing the CRA haha.

So I assume that means the 100 is in jeopardy?

Houdini, wondering if this is assumed blue /149 or could it have been sky blue? There no “/###” so I wasn’t sure. Whatever you think I’m happy with. I bid at $285 cause I didn’t see any bids with /150 on a quick scan.

Thanks

Mostown · 04-24-2021, 12:21 AM

Houds, I would bump up the cost of my spots 10% to help break even. It isn't much but I hope it helps.

With Topps raising Price of the Product out of the gate distributors would have to raise prices . Just because their prices have gone up doesn't mean the value has gone up any.

houdini · 04-24-2021, 01:06 AM

$71,513.

80% of what I really wanted, but a deal is a deal.

If I do a 100 case break, I would have to adjust the prices higher to get closer to retail. What do you think? Do you want a 100 case break at that price?

I'm all for you making money and would love to see the 100 case break, but to be honest I'm not sure I'd be willing to claim at your normal added percentage to cover the discounts. Just want to be up front with you.

Cyris · 04-24-2021, 01:16 AM

Last year’s shorter draft really hurt the depth of this year’s Bowman. Combine that with the prices of the product being way up.
Sorry it didn’t work out for you this time.

Unfortunately, retail prices have gotten so out of hand it has to be hard for you to run the big breaks.

Cyris · 04-24-2021, 01:20 AM

Damn I got sniped on both my spots. I knew I lost 1 but I didn’t see the other.
Oh well. Good luck to everyone that got spots.

Your dual auto's bid only shows $300 as well and you bid $350. Post 1085 Houdini.
