If Mile High knew about the lack of card number and the possibility of this being a promo card, then it was sure sloppy to make no mention of it in the auction description. I mean, talk about your obvious "which one of these cards is different from the others?" situation. Five toned, back-damaged Holmes to Homes cards looking like most all examples from that set and then this. Maybe I am unrealistic in my expectations of auction houses, but this is a pretty big miss in my view. The final price was sound regardless, but it would have been nice and helpful to have done some research into the card and make inquiry of the consignor, and then if nothing came to light, at least make that known and provide a proper identification.
Oh well, I hold out hope that someone can help piece the puzzle together.
