REA wins last night?

[paul]

I'm absolutely crushed. As many of you know, in addition to pre-war cards, I collect everything of Tom Seaver -- cards, books, magazines, posters, etc. As far as I know, I have every Seaver card that was issued to the public. But to me, the holy grail has always been the 1970 Topps Cloth Sticker, which was never publicly issued. I've been searching for this card for probably 40-45 years. REA had one last night (probably the only one in existence). I bid hard, but came up short as the underbidder. It went for well over $20K with the juice, and I had to give up. I guess I'll never own this card, which truly would have been the cherry on top of my Seaver collection.

I was also the underbidder on the Old Judge Pete Browning, and got blown away on the E107 McGraw. Tough night.
