Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I had waited a long time to find one of these. I think they might be more scarce than E221, E222 and almost any other PCL card...Anyone else have any to show? Funny how a printing company didn't do a better job however they are neat in a simple sort of way. Not for the condition sensitive but, as a type collector, there aren't too many chances at them. Ya' snag one when ya' can..<br><br>edited typo and to add I think I have only seen about 2-3 of these for sale in the last 12-13 yrs....<br><br><br><img src="http://luckeycards.com/phunc1911gilmartinprnting.jpg" alt="[linked image]">

Posted By: <b>dstudeba</b><p>Very nice leon. The only other example I have seen was a Miller that is owned by the preeminant PCL collector.<br><br>I agree that it is tougher than those other two sets.

Posted By: <b>Bill Todd</b><p>You know it's a tough card when Leon upgrades to a half dollar.

Posted By: <b>Andrew</b><p>If you care to share, did you snag it off Ebay? If so, was the listing title vague or inaccurate? Lots of bidding action?<br><br>...Congrats!<br><br>"Take your life in your own hands and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame." -- Erica Jong

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>You are quite correct. It did come from the last (and now the really last) Mastro Auction. I am interested in speaking with the underbidder of this card too....or if you bid on it at all??? It seems like there was some pretty stiff competition very late in the game. best regards
