Leon, I’m sorry if my post was out of line in any way. I am not the consignor of the PC nor do I know who is. I saw the PC towards the end of the auction and was intrigued. I did a quick goggle search for “Babe Ruth Carl Mays Stars postcard” and came up with nothing. I thought posting on the site would give me a quick answer and it did. Your post of the price you paid prompted me not to bid.

You asked “Why would anyone post an auction closing in 4-5 hours asking about the value, on the front page of a very active vintage card forum?” I only asked because I did not know the value or anything about the issue and I was running out of time to make a decision. As many of you may know, my wife and I are PC collectors and I had not seen this PC before. Had the PC not been laminated I would have definitely bid from my gut but since it was I was hoping to get a little info, which you provided.

I realize now my post may have seemed like I was the consignor looking for another bid, but this is not the case. I am a very picky collector of mainly Kentucky related cards/memorabilia, early Cobb and PC’s. I was simply just trying to get more info on the PC and a value range.

Thanks
Chris Buckler
