Interesting fact from REA

[Jim VB]

Another board member pointed this out to me. If they want to out themselves, that's fine, but I won't.

Check out the cert numbers. (Part 1)

A very nice submission to SGC.

What am I missing? REA got in a good raw consignment and sent it in for grading. They even said so in their descriptions, I believe. Or maybe it was mulitple consignments and they sent them in on the same form. That would be pretty awesome to have all of those cards in raw form at once. I bet there are some collections still out there that are just like this.

Where did 1, 8, and 12 go?

I guess this shows that there are still quite a few of the rare T206's out there that are still in raw form. Who knows what the real population of the Plank is, for example. Some say 100 but it could be twice that.

I can only imagine the return shipping insurance on that order!

Rightly so, here is #1:

Very good point. I have heard from several old time collectors that there are a lot of raw nice rare cards out in the world which have never been slabbed or counted or tabulated and which some day in the future will find their way on to the market. Mark Macrae indicated once to me that there are several anonymous collectors who have large collections of unslabbed, untabulated PCL cards.
