I needed 8 for the run going into Sterling. There were 5 that I needed, won 3 including the Fisher "Mais Paper Wrapper". I've only been at this for a little over 2 years. Until recently, I had never seen a "Just Right" available, but then there were 2 Kusel's and now a Browning (I think the only 2 players with Just Right) available recently. I got one of the Kusels. Yes, it was a great deal on the Browning. It crossed my mind to try and win it, but it's better off going to someone else try for the run.
For 25 of the 35, I averaged around $35-$50. But then it got tough. There has been a Briggs "Mais Paper Wrapper" PSA 6 for $450 listed by that Ypeg's eBay museum forever and I think I saw a Berry available when I first started. But that's all the Mais Paper Wrappers I've seen. Plus I thought the Fisher had good eye appeal for the grade and I like cards with the Vernon players. Something about those hats. So that's why I went all in on it.
I still need 5 and have never seen a "Immensly Popular" or "Delicate Aromatic" so I'll be on the lookout for those. "Everyone Satisfies", "Perfect Aroma", and "They Please" are the others but they are available, just waiting for the right one.
I'm pretty sure Lee stated this was 1 of a 3 part T212 action. So maybe there will be another Mais Paper Wrapper available. I won't be bidding. Good Luck and Happy New Year!
