Trying to balance the Chicago Nest Egg with the REA auction was difficult. I lost out on the M116 McConnell White Sox variation which is a truly rare card. In the hobby we use the term "rare" too often for cards which are tough or scarce but the Amby Sox is rare.
I also wasn't able to secure the D311 near set which may have been a blessing because I just need a handful to complete it and the thought of flipping that many cards was mind-boggling.
With that note, and I know this is a long shot, if the guy who won that lot reads this Board and happens to be amenable to selling some of the cards he doesn't need, please let me know. Brian McQueen is also interested in a handful also.
