andy beckernice to keep this thread up near the top in case anyone may have overlooked it, huh? funny, it's not really being discussed by anyone other than the auctioneer himself. hmmmmmm.
i do have a question for you, scott.
your description reads "From a recent find in the New England area this card caused quite a commotion as a walk-in at the recent Boston show. The appearance of the card caused a near free for all from the many auctioneers/dealers who fought to have it. The card emanates from an old-time collector who had owned it exclusively for decades."
if that's the case, then your "old-time" collector must have consigned it to REA in 1997 and then bought it back himself.
this card last sold publicly in 1997 for about $4500 (with juice).
i am a little shocked that lelands would not know of this previous sale, or at least not do some due-diligence before making a statement like the one above.
