Posted By: <b>peter ullman</b><p>These don't come up too often...let alone practically a complete set. It looks like it was a type collectors feeding frenzy. I picked up this delahanty. What do y'all think of the prices realized for these?<br><br><img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i176/ullmandds/img.jpg" alt="[linked image]">

Posted By: <b>peter ullman</b><p>me too, Ken...I think it's the star of David that appeals to me. Ironic the cards depict the tigers...more specifically Mr. Cobb...encased in a star of David...as I'm sure he loved the Jews!<br>

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p><br>Picked up three. As far as the prices, I'm not sure. Will SGC automatically grade these 10's with the pinholes? I think on eye appeal they should be worth a bit more...but who knows. I'm always puzzled by Kit's scans.<br><br><br><img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l111/asphaltman76/toppingjonesfront.jpg" alt="[linked image]"><br><img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l111/asphaltman76/toppingstanagefront.jpg" alt="[linked image]"><br><img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l111/asphaltman76/toppingbeckendorffront.jpg" alt="[linked image]">

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>That bottom one of Breckenridge looks a whole lot like the Free Press O'Learly over in the current Pick-Ups thread. Is it a mis-ID? Does O'Leary have a Topping PC of his own that is different?<br><br>J

Posted By: <b>Jerry Spillman</b><p><br><br>Nine winners divided the 19 lots. Of the 19 lots the median number of bids per lot was 12. The winning bidders had a range of feedbacks from 300 to 13000. IMO prices realized were realistic.<br><br><center><br><br><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1237411289.JPG" alt="[linked image]"> <br><br></center><br><br><br><br><br>
