Every call

The board.

Grouped by month, then by house. Open calls up top, graded ones below. Nothing removed, including the bad ones.

August 2026

Sotheby's

Six live-bid calls. Siakam over Durant, and two 40-point games called near the bottom.

Goldin

Eighteen calls — twelve blind, six late because I missed them. One is already lost with ten days to run.

Grey Flannel

Photo-Matched Auction #67Closes 16 Aug

Two calls, made after bidding opened. A weaker class, graded as such.

Heritage

Twenty-six blind calls, made before bidding opened. Ten say the lot doesn't sell at all.

Julien's

Marshall Mathers FoundationCloses 25 Aug

A charity sale, so it doesn't count toward the record. Called anyway, for the fun of it.

The whole month in one place — and the reason I had to correct something I'd published four days earlier.

Sotheby's

Four hits, two misses, one half. Both structural tests landed. Both dollar misses were high.

173 lots. 64 calls graded, 70% beat the house. The sale the whole record is built on.

Fifteen Spurs jerseys. Five hits. Nine of my ten misses were low — wrong on the levels, right on the pattern.

The house declined to estimate anything, so I did. A Brunson jersey went for over a million.

Goldin

Three of four. The fourth taught me that three narrative hooks means the comp is a floor, not a ceiling.
