I didn't win anything, but there were lots of great items to be had. Any thoughts on the final price for the Altoona Tribune Ed Walsh card? The item went for $596, and is apparently a one of one. I bailed out when the card took a fair amount of action in the extended bidding. I was intrigued because I live just a couple hours from Altoona, Pa., and the Card Target site only shows four previous Altoona Tribune cards that went to auction in recent years. I know that is one of the rare backs of the series.
I admit that I was kinda skittish about going real high on a type card like that after seeing what happened to the Green Joyce cards in the just completed Goodwin auction.

I was the underbidder, and six or more of those bids were mine. I thought it went high, but obviously not so high. If you checked Cardtarget you'll see a Baker in slightly better grade recently sold for about $250 less. Frankly, I'm hopeful people are willing to write these and the Green-Joyce's off as plentiful--works for me
