That's the one. It was in the Goodwin auction that stayed open until about 6:00 A.M. I would have missed it, but one of my kids woke me up at about 5:30. When I had a chance to check on the auction a little while later I was surprised to see it was still running, and I put in a bid on the Collins, my first bid since an opening day placeholder I think. Somehow that was enough. I always thought it was worth about twice what I paid, but I just found somebody who thought it was worth four times what I paid, and that was just too much for me to turn down, though it was certainly one of my favorite cards. I haven't seen another one up for auction/sale in the three and a half years since Goodwin, but I know there are at least four of them out there, and I imagine I'll go after the next one that hits the auction block.
