You’re in good company--even Chuck Norris’ catalog did not go out until today!

Rob, you are correct, Chuck Norris' catalog did go out today, but it wasn't an REA catalog.

Seeing 9 and 10 Ramly's are amazing. Got the bids in, my fingers now hurt from clicking so much. No magazine yet.

Put those digits on ice, quickly!

Just put in my initial bids on the 3 lots I have my eye on. Hopefully at least one of them is a win

Does the fact that they are in old SGC holders mean SGC would not assign them the same grade?

The question must be posed. Unless there's a small premium for the old style holders

"This card, which is an early SGC-graded example, is one of only thirteen T204 Ramlys (of any subject) ever to be graded MINT by SGC according to its Population Report. As noted in the introduction to the Ramly section of this auction (which features the balance of our consignor's Ramly collection; this card merited a lot of its own in the front of the catalog in the Featured section), we believe that some of the early SGC-graded T204 Ramlys were sheet-cut decades ago by legendary hobby pioneer Frank Nagy, who in the 1970s had a pristine T204 Ramly sheet (the only one in existence), and this fact is almost certainly related to the unparalleled perfection of this card".

Ah I see now. I was so excited from getting the catalog and so tired from carrying it and so intoxicated from smelling it that I had not read the description yet. Sheet cut or not they obviously are beautiful cards and I am glad to see the disclosure by REA.

All fetishes aside, you're a fine fellow.

Well...in reality these cut from sheet Ramly's are no different from the cut down wagner. And I'm guessing even with disclosure these Ramlys will sell for full on retail...so the future of the infamous nm-mt Wags is likely secure!

He looks like a beast in that pic......that's the "I didnt get my catalog in time" look.
