I was offered the Brooks Robinson back around 1983 from Greg Businneau for $350. Quite a bit of money for a 17-year-old, but I had always bought all the other Brooks Robinson test issues that Greg had offered me. I asked for a couple days to get the money together which he agreed upon. The LCS owner I worked for didn't want me to miss out on it and agreed to give me a pay advance. I called Greg the next morning after the date he offered it to me but yet gotten rid of it. I never saw another one until a Huggins and Scott auction a few years ago. I also turn down everything else Greg offered to me since there was nothing like this. Although, I probably would've jumped if it was a really were piece but at that point my collection had advanced pretty well.
Craig, are you the same Craig W. that bought dozens of 81-83 Fleer proof sheets off me back in 1987?
