Bares für Rares: Anja & Bruno Beat Appraisal With Boot Jack Sale as Pokémon Cards Hit €10,000

Dealer bids diverged sharply from expert estimates in the latest broadcasts.

Overview

  • Anja Grigutsch and Bruno Rauh from Bauer sucht Frau sold a cast‑iron boot jack linked to her shoemaker grandfather for €150 after a €35 valuation, with Jan Čížek winning the bid.
  • Two sealed Japanese Pokémon card boxes brought by Monty Schön sold to Julian Schmitz‑Avila for €10,000 following an expert range of €9,500 to €11,000.
  • A 1920s Christus painting by Adolf Frey‑Moock was valued at €2,000, well above the sellers’ €500 hope, and drew competitive bidding in the dealer room.
  • A versilbered amputation saw prompted visible disgust among dealers before Jan Čížek purchased it for €70 after an €80 to €100 appraisal.
  • A ring segment saw a lighthearted doppelgänger moment for expert Heide Rezepa‑Zabel, and the reworked Schiffchenring later sold for €600 after a €400 to €500 estimate.
