Some really aggressive prices out there. In particular, with regards to the cards I was watching, the e107 Dougherty and the t204 Square Frame Bancroft seemed to fetch insane prices....over $3800 and $4200 respectively. Anyone know the story on those two? Consigners have to be happy I'm sure!

I have to admit, I won the Meusel.... and for all your good fortune, I procrastinated and bid SECONDS after time ran out on the McGraw, and I wanted the McGraw more..... so you got the McGraw cheaper, and then one of the original bidders - maybe you ?? :-) knocked me up another 80 bucks on the Meusel before they gave in........... UGH !!!! JOHN Is your Meusel graded.... I know there are two graded, and perhaps one or two floating around not graded... Leon has one I think ???? or the Ruth..

It's a good thing you missed by a few seconds (was this when the entire auction ended??) as I fell asleep a little after 1AM and wouldn't have been able to counter.

I was a little surprised the McGraw didn't go higher as I thought he was the uncatalogued player, is a HOFer and I haven't seen that bright red variation yet in this set either.

As for the Meusel, I was intrigued by the oversized borders but I never placed a bid on it at any point. I have that one already in a 40 holder (light brownish/orange-ish variation). 4 baseball players in this set right? McGraw, Meusel, Ruth and one other...can't think of the player right off....

I have a Ruth from this set that I got from fkw. I believe Leon and Adam also have Ruth's. The partial checklist from this set that Adam did is here: Link.

From Goodwin, I managed to win the Big Head and Pathe Freres Ruth's. Not in the best of conditions, but tough cards that I really needed.

Nice cards....I forgot, yeap, got one of those Ruths too...

So me (John), Leon and Brian have the three known Meusels. We are price fixing the value at $1000. Ha. No. I missed the bid on McGraw before the 15 mins get added on So I was barred from making bids. Yes. It should have gone for double easily. But you never know ! Great pickup
