Yeah, Johnny. It was part of a five card lot in a Ron Oser Auction back before internet bidding. Called the day of the auction to see where it was. No one had bid yet on the final of like two days of bidding. The card I was after was a Joe Lake Uzit back and a Doc Casey Broadleaf 350. The other three cards, including what was advertized as a blank back (again, before the internet and there were no pictures to accompany the auction advertisement) were insignificant to me, as after that, the only cards I needed for a back run were a Drum and a Ty Cobb. Got the lot of five cards for the minimum bid of (wait for it) $275. Kept the other two and made the trade. Two rare backs, and a total of nine others for $275. Seemed like a great deal at the time.
