# 397 Forrest Main bought
I don't even know what a Forrest Main is, other than the fact that it had a lifetime ERA of over 5.00. But it is now the first '52 T high number I've ever owned. The fact that it's a Pirate makes it even better.
Don't understand how it happened, either. This was one of the seller's very nicest commons out of the whole lot. Clean, corners of a grade 4, and impossibly perfect centering that makes its true value an easy 5.
Yet I got it for $114, basically the same price that all his creased ones went for.
Maybe everyone turned off their Allegro for a minute
