Leon - where were those E135s listed? I don't recall seeing them on ebay.

I think they were in the photo section but honestly I don't remember for sure. They ran the whole way with no bids (7 days)....as the guy had a huge starting price on them and had 0 feedback and, of course, were raw. He had brought them into a card shop and I guess he thought they were worth even more than they are from what he was told. These were in an attic for the last 50 yrs or so. I have a total of 50 cards and there are probably 3 creases total. The reason they didn't grade higher is that they have very light water staining on them. The backs are close to perfect. The Felsch was the only card that was trimmed and I truly think it was factory miscut. It got an AUT......I bought them after the auction closed...I haven't had the commons graded but they all look the same as these, very consistently nice. I was holding my breath waiting for them....regards

It's always difficult to negotiate a sale when the seller only knows what the card shop owner or price guide says - I'm sure he felt every card was mint. Nice job on the great pickup!

Nice!...it's not "Trucker Boy" territory, but it's cool that those kinds of finds still exist.

Excellent pickups.

For the record, it's not just that you can get authentic raw cards on eBay - if you're patient, you can also find high-grade raw ones. All of these were purchased raw on eBay.

Raw cards can be found, and not only on Ebay. Just picked this up from a fellow board member.
Thanks "J". They're out there you just need to be patient. I'm sure I will be very happy with
the grade on Mr. Tinker when returned from SGC.
