Post-National surprise

[Jantz]

So I'm at the National this year and walking around the floor looking at all the selection of cards hoping to find a few for my collection. I stopped at a dealer's table whom I've bought from in the past. Right away I notice an interesting T206 of Carrigan. The dealer had a price tag of $16 on it. I set the card off to the side and continued to look at his other T206s. Not finding anything else, I paid the dealer and went on my way. (left scan)

Fast forward to Sunday night. I decided to catch up on some reading I've been wanting to do on T206Resource. I started reading the article about the 2012 REA auction and imagine my surprise when what do I see...the same Carrigan that I bought at the National. (right scan)

Apparently this T206 had been part of a large lot sold by REA earlier this year which included a grouping of hand-cut T206s.

Anyway, it was a pleasant surprise for me and I thought other board members might like to hear the story. Wonder what happened to the other hand-cut T206s?

I got to say though, it was the best $16 I've spent in awhile.
