I begged him to sell me his other one and after some thought, he staked his asking price and I said ok. I was lucky to get it. Honestly, it was a very hard item to consign; it’s one of the 7-10 items I kind of second guess consigning bc I will never be able to get another.

The Graham postcard story reminds me of a similar situation on Ebay a couple of years ago, albeit at a lower lower level of scarcity. A seller suddenly offered four D310 Pacific Coast Biscuit Buck Weaver cards (and if I remember correctly no other D310 cards), which are fairly scarce, and kind of raised a red flag, but were obviously legit once I saw them. I had stopped following Ebay at the time, but a great N54'er alerted me and I was able to snag the lowest condition (as is my natural collector reflex) because who knows when I would be able to obtain one at such a reasonable price. Just goes to show, you never know when an opportunity will arise to get something tough you really desire, so keep the collecting flame burning Ryan.
And my Buck gives eternal thanks to Ed for helping Buck find his forever home.
