Finally I caught this Perry Tacoma Giants card towards the end of auction closing. I had bought one here before (Union Oil version) from another member, had it graded and turned around and sold it to another member for less, not sure why. Surprisingly this one cost me way less and it was autographed. Very low pop card but I dig the photo!

Nice grab on the Perry...that was my consignment. That card often sells for $150+ raw (when it rarely comes up for auction)...the autograph (and TPG putting the card in the holder backwards) really killed any chance for that card to sell for what it should. Great snag and at a killer price!
Clearly, this is a great example of an AH/consignor that does not shill or allow shilling. I would never have let that card sell for so little if I had put a "hidden reserve" on it! LOL!
