Whoa baby! I was watching that. And dreaming. Congrat's!

Thanks, I hope I don't regret it. I paid just over half what the card sold for in 2008 albeit in a higher (6) grade flip.

Great card of Matty. I love the Allegheny cards. Not that it matters but it should probably be a PSA 5 MK due to the ink dot on the back (most of them had them as this one does).... I had a McGinnity the same way.

Leon- I got your(my) McGinnity...neither will get re-slabbed - not on my watch!

You have two? Man, that's awesome. Are you going for the whole deck?

Picked this one up via feebay earlier this month, just back from Beckett this afternoon. As far as I can tell there is only one graded higher by any TPG.

Cool Thorpe postcard. I own one of the three copies of that postcard that PSA has graded (PSA 4). I know postcards aren't everyone's thing, but it still amazes me how cheap the various Thorpe postcards that pre-date his M101-5 card remain. I think you made out pretty well with that purchase. I paid more than that for my copy several years ago.

I am kinda hoping there aren't a whole lot more of that postcard still in Sweden that are going to hit the market.

Haha, my thoughts exactly!!

Thanks for the kind words, I thought it was a pretty good price as well!

So glad Raymond, you did get Matthewson Allegheny card after all. As i mentioned, my bids was gonna be too low, and had to pass the info onto somehow i knew collected these.
Really happy you got it. Was watching it yesterday and it didnt move much at all, maybe a 100 bucks. I was expecting it to go well over 7500 or more in some late snipes. a true 1/1 despite the story of re-slabbing it and got a lower grade.

Absolutely awesome Matty card. I was watching that card to see where it would close.

I am not trying to cause a problem or anything like that, but did you look at the bidding on that card? The only other bidder over $2,567 put in a bid at $6,000 that was later retracted. I wondered if something was up when the high bid was at $5,600, then dropped $5,100 later in the auction.

Again, not trying to rain on an awesome pick-up. But the bidding history by the underbidder looks kinda scary.

Yeah, I warned Raymond on that possible issue (shill?) I warn that it look like there were several bids (at the time) in small increments, possible of a shill to see where his max bid was at.
I was the underbidder with that 2567 bid. It does look like a retraction was done, i remember seeing more bids than its showing now.
It looks like e***4(2368) bidded it up and saw Raymond's max, then retracted, then later bidded it back up to the max the following day. Looks fishy indeed.

The link shows that the "2368" bidder retracted a bid of $6,000, then bid back up to $5,400 after making the retraction. That is a lot of money in an auction that looks like it was shilled.
