Great to hear you got your $$$ back! Sounds like you will be finishing this project up shortly. What's the next set you're gonna attack?

Eric,

Glad to hear that things worked out!

Thanks to Tucker for pointing me to Dean's cards. I found a nice Ben Smith that will hopefully grade an 80 and picked up a 1948 Leaf Clyde Bulldog Turner... maybe a future set. Definitely will not be trying the 1894 Mayo set at this point, but who knows in the future. Now one card away from the set and when I get re-imbursed from Mears, I will be able to get the Tosi. Woohoo! What a project. But lots of fun. I will be posting my extras on here hopefully this weekend as soon as I learn how to get them from the scanner into the thread. Bear with me... rookie here.

Bronko Nag alert on Ebay..If it wasnt from the United Kindgom, i might took a stab at it.
Very nice and at 2k, still has some juice left. Been watching it for a few days.

Also for those Galloping Ghost guys..i ran across a 1935 R311 graded sgc20. Very nice indeed. Too bad its a BIN auction, a bit steep. It go nice with my 55 All American.

Update... the auction house decided to send the cards that SGC had deemed trimmed to PSA for a second opinion stating that they did not believe SGC. Just heard back yesterday. Rockne was in fact trimmed and Matesic was given a 6 and Ben Smith a 6.5. Nice grades for the cards, I guess, so now I will be getting refund for Rockne and will get the PSA cards which do not help me at all for my set and they will thus be for sale. I am not collecting a PSA set, so will want to unload these. If any interest, let me know. I have some more cards I am still trying to figure out what to do with and am going to resubmit one to SGC again. The saga continues... Still happy with the way that the auction house has handled this. You can feel very confident to bid in a Mears auction
