Beautiful Weaver 1911 Obak
In the early eighties I saw two items that I should have bought at a rural New Hampshire antique center.
The first was a beautiful catcher sterling napkin holder. Can't remember the cost, but I went back a few weeks later and it was gone. Another dealer had a Ex-Mt Buck Weaver 1911 Obak for $90.00. I knew the story of "Eight Men Out" and I knew it was an Obak, but I didn't know if it was real. Went back a few weeks later and it also was gone. The concept of buying a card that was not a catcher for later trade bait had not occured to me. Regrets I have a few.
