I'd think for $60k, I'd at least get the tab too.

.. which is the kind of stuff he's been selling before this incredible bargain.....

I emailed back and forth with the seller yesterday and today. It's the real deal but at least 10x too much ....probably more like 20x too much. They seem like decent folks and know they probably won't sell. From our emails I don't think they care too much....but who knows?

[HRBAKER]

Sounds like they will fit right in on ebay.

That is a great, great card.

Leon - I don't think it is 20x too high. Closer to the 10x you mentioned.

very cool card.

I wish they had not grouped the other cards in with the Johnson.

Hey Joe
Yeah, after more thought, I think the WOJO would be in the 5k range but ya never know....so 10x too much would be closer. As far as being catalogued these are D381 Ferguson's and are much scarcer than even the D381 Flieschmann's. As I told the seller, there are only a few Ferguson's with tabs known. I have only ever seen 2 and even questioned if they came with one, at one time. But then someone showed an old Xerox of a coupon so I believed it. Then of course I was able to get one of the 2 I had ever seen. I paid a ton for it but what is a type collector to do? For all you newbies out there, or others that just don't know, the Ferguson's have one line of writing under the picture and the Fleischmanns have 2 lines of writing. That is the way to tell. I would imagine the checklists would be the same but all D381's are so scarce it's hard to say for sure. best regards
