I have told this story before, so I will make it short. At the National in the late 90's in Atlanta, I had serious discussions with Kevin Struss, when he was at SCP, about a card that he was trying to flip on behalf of Mastro, who had acquired from a lady who found it in a Bible (yes, it does happen). I feel the deal could have been done for about $150k, but that would have wiped out the liquidity and a good part of the inventory of my company at the time, Full Count Baseball, so I walked away. The card: a T06 Honus Hans John Wagner in a PSA 4. I try very hard not to think about but once in a while a black fog rolls in.
