Sorry, not sure I follow what you’re asking…

I just remember that a lot of people thought that HA was auctioning off all of the black swamp find cards and after some time another group that had been held back was graded and became available. Just wondering if the entire collection is publicly known. Maybe this has already been discussed….just something I was wondering about. Like, does the consigner or someone else still have a handful of favorites that might become known at a later date.

Great story and find. Exciting!!

Jeff, can you please clarify something for some of us that may be considering to bid on these great cards?

Other than the 2nd Morehouse Ruth that will be auctioned at a later date, were there other star cards present in this find which aren't in the current REA auction or future auction or might have been retained by either yourself or the owner?

For example - Was this the only Morehouse Joe Jackson in the entire find? Also - Is there a full spreadsheet of all the cards from the find available which can be shared & viewed?

Any additional information that you can share would be appreciated!

Sure - let me look into this with REA just to be sure it’s OK to share items from future auctions

Will be back to you as soon as I hear back

Quick follow up - as you probably know there is a 2nd Ruth that will be auctioned later. The Thorpe and Jackson in the current auction are the only ones available… no dupes of those, unfortunately.

I’m sure REA will share details of the other cards (dupes) once the next auction starts to fire up. The only HOFers in the duplicate for the next auction are Bancroft, Griffith and Comisky

Hope this helps

Thanks Jeff. Helpful. Would just stink to assume you were bidding on a 1/1 if another (ungraded example) was known. Great find!!

Are all the cards from the find already graded?
