Trust me when I say that I certainly paid up for it. But it's definitely an instant favorite of mine!!

By the way, Peter is a class act guy and 100% amazing to work with...he's now well on his way to that shiny red Corvette he wants...or windows for the house!!

Hey Derek - thanks for the kind words. As much as I loved that Campy, I was happy to send him into a collection where he so belongs. Thanks again for helping fund some new windows. Now if you can get the contractor guy to call me back that would be good. I'll post shots of our new windows in the December pick up thread I guess.

Ok - enough window talk - enjoy Derek. and back at ya - Derek was great to deal with too!

From last week's Clean Sweep Auction, this card arrived today (Wednesday) - I mailed my check on Saturday - kudos to Steve Verkman and his staff for the super-fast (and reasonable-cost) shipping!

This card is in much better condition than most of my WaJo cards, but what excites me the most is its Type 4 back (only recently identified and scarce, per Rhett's fabulous article in the Fall 2011 issue of OC) coupled with the (uncommon, per Rhett) "reverse" back (read from bottom-to-top), which hopefully makes this a truly rare card!

Hi Hank - Thanks for your kind words re this pickup and re the WaJos I showed in the "Top 10" thread. Of the various real-photos on WaJo cards, I think I like this one the best, even though several of the others show more pitching "action."
Best,
Val

Couple of pickups tonight from the T210 set.

Hi Andy,
I was watching that one for quite a while too. My birthday was last week, and my wife and daughter went together and bought it for my birthday present.
Sure beats a new tie and a pair of socks.

I hope you can pick one up some day.


Jason, that is a nice T211. I have been waiting for a decent, reasonably priced one to come along for my Louisiana collection. Nice card!

Hey Rick. Nice pickup. I'd been watching that one for ages for my Jersey City collection but never had the funds to pull the trigger. I'm glad to see you picked it up. Someday I'll get one for my team collection.

Best regards,

I'm glad to add my first T211.I have wanted one since the National in Baltimore.I would like to add a few more one day.I was assured it had no back issues so I'll have to see what warranted the grade once I have it in hand.
