Ryan, you always pick the super prints for your back runs.Well anyway, let me know if you really decide to go for it. This should be interesting.

I know- absolute proof that I am dumb, crazy and unrealistic. However, I need another project and yellow Chance is a hell of a project, so it should keep me busy for a while; although I am going to take it slow.

I love that. "Project." I'm using that word/rationalization when I buy my next car. "I really had to have that project as it goes 0-60 in 3.2 seconds...." It does soften the blow.

Jeff, cardboard seems to be more addictive (and expensive) than drugs.

Thanks all. I am very psyched indeed.

Mike, the post card is of Hones Wagner, Tommy Leach and Fred Clarke. I am not sure where it was taken, but those are wooden bleachers they are sitting on and behind them

Great card Ryan. Where did you get it?

What other backs do you need, the T215s? Or do you have the Red Crosses as well?

I've seen Ryan's album of cards and he must have a secret network of high end collectors he deals with privately. Amazing stuff.

Ryan, awesome pickup, however, you might want to slow down or there will be nothing left to interest you in the next REA auction!

Steve, awesome pickup on the Johnson, would love to know what you gave up for it!

Thanks Sean and DJ. Sean, I still need a t215-1 and t215-2 and have been holding our for HOFers (and conveniently not counting them as a key part of a t206 back run). DJ, I may be taking this next REA (and every other auction remaining in 2019) off!

I'll be doing the same, and also every auction in 2020 and 2021.

Ryan, I have the same back run, but I settled for T215 commons (Willett and Mullin). Red Cross just don't come up for sale. I need three of them, Street, Bresnahan and especially Merkle to complete my back runs. Good luck with the HOFs. Maybe you'll find a Speaker, and you can start a new back run.

Ryan, following this awesome achievement (congrats!), will you have the enthusiasm to continue working on your (much more difficult) Wags back run?

Hi Val! Thanks for the kind words. We are all waiting to see what you got from Steve in trade for the t214 Wajo.

Michael, much appreciated. I blame you partly for this pick up bc you had a big role getting me into rare backs years back. I guess you owe me some money

Silly Sean, don't give Ryan any ideas. T215s aren't T206, so he doesn't need them.

Well at least we know that if a Bresnahan T215 comes along we won't have to fight you for it.

Ryan- I am 99 percent sure that postcard dates to probably 1911 and was taken at Fogel Field in Hot Springs during spring training. Thanks
