Needless to say, someone sniped me in the last few seconds and it ended at $900 .... still a fantastic price for this card (IMO)...

I was a bit dissapointed (I guess I could have bid more)... but the real thing that I was shocked with was the fact that the third bidder was only at $325.

If I had not showed up (by chance)... this card would have sold for $335!

Wow. I imagine that the Drier set is coming to market soon... any thoughts on those prices.... thanks.

Cool story Al. I don't follow boxing that much but know those are very scarce cards. My guess is that the Drier collection of them will do very well. They will be promoted much better to a more well heeled, different audience.
