Mike,

Congrats on the Clarence "Red" Munson. It's one of my favorites as well. I was tempted to bid on it to use it for trade bait, but I decided to sit it out instead.


Enjoy,

Patrick

Thanks for staying on the sidelines Patrick. I can't remember what my max was, but you saved me a few dollars for sure.

I was watching that card too, if it was on e-bay. I was sitting ready to hit a snipe, and at the last minute said, "nah." Glad you got it!

So the wife and I decided to go to probably the largest antique mall in NY and see what we can find for our PCs. After about 3 hours, we realized that we haven't covered not even half the bldg., but it was time to go. So luckily, the ground I did cover I managed to uncover these from a stack of postcards and bottle caps, for a damn good price at that. These are not the actual pics, I am having a hard time trying to do so, so I pulled these from google, mine are raw.

Doug, nice pickup. I believe that was on Ebay recently, if it is the same one I was giving it serious consideration. Congrats.

Great piece Jay - the image on that is fantastic.

Picked this one up from Trae. Thanks!

Just received this from the Saco River Auction. This was Lot #1, and for those who followed the auction and who were discouraged by the high first price, I apologize. The pose is one of my favorites and made a nice companion piece to my Coupon Type 2.

I am not nutty enough to attempt a complete back run, but if another high end rarer back shows up, I might be the one running up the price.

Enjoyed the auction and the cards are beautiful. The SGC holders were clean and sparkly with no gasket problem although I did put a 1 inch gash in the holder while removing it from the bubble wrap.

This Ganley was a long journey but it completes my back run. I honestly didn't kmow what I was in for when deciding to chase it. Here's a little secret - after 8 years of collecting and tracking Ganley sales the Sov 150 does not get due credit for it's toughness. Buy 'em when you see 'em!

Thanks to a board member for pointing this one out! I got it with four minutes left to go!

Thanks Derek! And if you ever want to part with the O'Rourke I can offer him a good home.
