Well Matt, I don't know how you feel, but I think whomever won your 57 set got the bargain of a lifetime! I don't know what you have into the cost alone, but it just seems that $65,000 is way, way too cheap! Hope it didn't hurt you too badly.

I think the buyers premium was close to 20%. U have to add that to the price so its not exactly a crime of robbery.

If my math is right...that works about to average $159.00 per card. I don't have a lot of experience with this set, but that doesn't sound like too much when you consider the cards and their grades.

I think a lot of lots in REA were very soft this auction. I won the lot I really wanted but I was following about 15 of them and all but 3 were well under what I would have paid for them.

I dont know what Matt's breakeven was but I hope he didnt lose a bundle.

The set definitely tanked in my opinion. It only received one bid on the final day of the Auction, at about 1:30 AM EST. That is horrible. It looks like bbo was on the money, I should have taken the time to break it up. I really wanted to keep it together though, because it is one amazing looking set. The winner got a steal in my view.

First rule of selling a set:

It's not your set anymore, so make it desirable to the most number of people as possible and don't try to keep it together. It's not like it's a family of orphaned kids, it's a stack of cards for goodness sake.

Not meant to be harsh, just sayin'.

Well, it looks like my former set did not stay intact for very long. The Williams and Mantle are in the current Goodwin Auction.

Don't feel bad. You once owned the best 1957 set in the Hobby for longer than anyone else ever has or ever will.

It has been a little over 2 years since I sold this set, and the bug is back. I have recently settled into a new house, which was my intention when I chose to sell my '57 set. So while I did not fair too well on the sale; at least I was able to get a house I would never have been able to had the economy not gone south. On to the present/future. I see some new members on here as well as most of the vets. I am looking to build a new set, this time at a MUCH slower pace than the last. It could take a decade or two this time, so I need a little help in choosing. My problem is I like too many sets.

My thought process so far:

1). 1952 Topps (SGC 88-96).
2). T206[-Wagner, so it would not ever be a complete set] (SGC 84-86).
3). 1934 Goudey (SGC 92-96).
4). A combo of less expensive sets: 1941 Play Ball, 1953 Bowman, 1955 Topps.

Let me know your opinions.
