Ryan, I had that T214 Victory in my WaJo collection for roughly 25 years. But, being a lover of the advertising on the backs of cards, the amount of paper loss on the back "bothered" me for all those years. Had the paper loss been much less, I would not have parted with it. Upon learning how much progress Steve had made with his back run of the WaJo pitching pose, I felt this card belonged in his collection moreso than it did mine.
Another factor in my decision is that I am a much bigger fan of real-photo, black-and-white cards than I am of the colorful, artist-created cards (except for the T206 WaJo portrait, the best looking pre-War card ever made). So, I'm happily working on back runs of WaJo's 1916, 1917, and 1921-22 real-photo issues.
