Auction Roundup for November 2019

Significant auction sale from November 2019.

Lot 6199: Mattel Major Matt Mason Astronaut figure

Auction: Vectis Auctions Ltd - Stockton on Tees, United Kingdom
Est.:
Est: £100 GBP - £200 GBP
Item number: Lot 6199
Ended: November 27, 2019
Winning bid: £360 GBP (US$ 452.97 - $588.86 adjusted with buyer's premium)

Description:
Mattel Major Matt Mason Astronaut figure (white), Excellent, within Good Plus window box. 

My Take: 
Another international auction - makes me wonder if the Flight Card that sold in the same auction in July was from the same seller. This "Astronaut" window-boxes are very rare in the US - being offered, as far as I know, only at the Space Centers (like Johnson and Cape Kennedy). It seems that many of the leftovers ended up in the UK shortly after MMM's popularity waned in the US.

Lot 6200: Mattel Major Matt Mason Astronaut figure

Auction: Vectis Auctions Ltd - Stockton on Tees, United Kingdom
Est.:
Est: £100 GBP - £200 GBP
Item number: Lot 6200
Ended: November 27, 2019
Winning bid: £340 GBP (US$ 427.80 - $556.14 adjusted with buyer's premium)

Description:
Mattel Major Matt Mason Astronaut figure (yellow), Excellent, within Good Plus window box.

My Take: 
See My Take for the previous lot auction above - the same notes apply here. 

Note:
While I've converted the sale into USD, it doesn't reflect the common buyer's premium which most live auctions force the winning bidder to pay - it's often as much as 25% of the total winning bid. In this case it's 30% which I've shown as an adjusted price for each item).
