They're gone, so I don't have pictures. I sold two 206 commons (very common) each graded an 8, for about $2,500 each, and a 51 bowman mantle grade 5, for $4,500.00. Took my wife to hawaii and paid my taxes. I had paid $150.00 each for the two 206's back in about 93 or 94. Not sure which. The reason I sold them, is that they don't fit my collecting interests anymore. Plus I figured why not sell the 206's while they were hot. And they have cooled a bit since. And for those who believe all 8's are trim jobs, I got these back in the early 90's as I say, and no, they were not trimmed. They were beautiful, real, and they were "spectacular". The guy in Chicago that I bought them from, had a bunch more, I wish I had bought the rest of them. But you can never look back.
