Will be happily picking up my winnings this week. Thanks to Chuck, Stacy, and Bill for a great auction.

I was about the 2nd under bidder on the P42 Cobb. I thought whomever got it got a good deal but not a steal.

I saw a PSA 5.5 Vic Wills with bat sell for $4000 in Cleveland with a P42 back. I think this card has a real good shot at crossing having looked at it with a loupe. I think the buyer could cross and give to Goodwin or REA and reap an immediate profit. We were in around the same level. I am having remorse for not hitting it one more time.

What did the Matty P42 go for? It seemed way low at around $2,000...but I'm just not sure what the future holds as to a premium for the P42's....so I held off on it.

I thought (possibly) one of the corners would have held it from crossing to a 7. I was very interested in it because the centering and coloring were great too. I wish I had seen it in person. I might have gone higher. I need to move to the midwest/NE...

ps...I cleaned up your post deleting all of those blank spaces..fyi

I won the Matty for $3500.

I won the P42 Johnson. The last T206 (minus the BL460) that I needed for my back run. Beautiful color and centering, so I'm happy.

Cheers,
