My Gamble for the night

And obviously that's what I'm hoping for. I don't WANT it to be recolored!

I've got a Phila Americans Premium. Won it about a year ago for what I thought was a fairly low price. It's in rough shape though. Had it framed so it looks presentable now.

Awesome.

Hoped to have my new acquisition at Philly, but alas it may not be there until Sunday.

Not one of the premiums, but an advertisement - won this from Goldin Auctions in October 2016. Having trouble uploading the photo, but here is a link to the auction: https://goldinauctions.com/LotDetail...entoryid=26564

Got the card in today, was indeed just creased/cracked so it caught the light funny. right side is faded a little.

When I get a chance I'll post the insane 2.5 I just got on the nicest T3 I've ever personally seen >sigh<

That T200 is nice, Scott. We all know the feeling of hoping for a 5-7 grade and getting slammed. It's the way it goes. Nice meeting you at the show too!! I hope the few cards I dropped off for your live auction will be fun to sell off. Good luck with everything.

Leon, thanks for everything, and we did eventually figure out what happened with the T3 and it got the grade it deserved, though it is absolutely stunning for a 2.5. That was a favor for a friend, I just felt bad for him knowing his expectations. Personally I thought it was going to get a "4" and be the nicest "4" I'd ever seen, so you can imagine how nice it is for a 2.5!

Anyway it was great meeting you (and Dan, finally, though we've been in the same room rather often!) and your support means a lot. Hopefully some day you'll get to hear me conduct an auction!
