Interesting, Jeff. Although I followed that auction, my focus was not on the e107's at that time, and I didn't know that. The seemingly little tidbits of information that may have quite a substantial impact that one can glean from this site are truly amazing. My prediction for the Waddell would have been about $7500 in this economy--sometimes its good to be wrong!
That's a great card, by the way, Brian, at least to all who are truly connoiseurs, appreciate real value, and are not gem mint 10 freaks. Congratulations on your trade, recent or otherwise! McGraw had such an enormous impact on baseball through the
'20's! I'm going through some tough times right now, but like Steve, would love to eventually add an e107 HOF'er.
May all of your collecting objectives be within reach!
