That was my first thought, but the lines seem too perfect for bleed through from a notebook. But, it is the most logical conclusion.

Also, I did notice the Coupons that were sold last week. PWCC listed 113 graded Type 2's, and I was hoping that the large amount of cards that were being sold at one time would keep the prices down, but it turned out that most of them sold for ridiculously high prices. I placed bids on 24 cards, but I didn't come close to winning any of them. Cards that I thought would sell for $100 sold for $200, $250, and one of them sold for over $500.

The night after PWCC ended, another seller had 50 of the Type 2 auctions ending. These auctions were the complete opposite of the PWCC auctions, in that they sold for ridiculously low prices. I ended up winning 7 of them, and I actually felt a little guilty that I won these cards at such low prices. (Not guilty enough to offer more). These cards were low grade, with glue damage and paper loss, but still, most of them sold for half of what I expected.


There were many rare cards, mostly team designation variations, including some that I have never seen come up for sale before. I was lucky enough to win some of them in the raw card auctions.

Rick, here are 3 I got from PWCC today... The Konetchy Boston is only from 1916 and is a short print. The Donovan is from 1915 and 1916 and is almost as scarce. Donovan was a player-manager for the Yankees from 1915-1917.

I picked up a Collins from the ungraded offerings. Glad you got some of those.

I'm at 159/185 now. I may consider my set full at 184/185 as I don't expect to be able to find and buy a Demmit NY on Shirt.

Hey guys,

Yes, I was able to pick up a number of the graded ones, and I picked up three of the raw ones the next evening.

Rob, I did see what the Konetchy sold for...I was the surprised underbidder left wondering how much it would have taken to win. Sorry to see I cost you a few bucks on that and the Donovan as well. I imagine that we'll see another Demmitt NY at some point...I recall you made a very strong effort on the one nearly three years ago...I often wonder who picked it up.

The graded ones sold for a lot the other night because in order to win them, one had to outbid two other ebay buyers who tend to relist purchased cards on eBay shortly after buying them. Those two buyers were not bidding on the raw ones.

I appreciated the quality of the graded ones... They were all super nice. I needed several for my set, but I couldn't help but upgrade on a few more, even though I'm just working to complete the set in any condition. I'm glad to note that the only two I actually needed that I didn't win went to you, Rob.

PS, Congrats to you both on some good pickups!

[RCMcKenzie]

Thanks, Steve. The only 2 cards I really needed from the sale were the Donovan and Konetchy Boston, so I bid strong on those. I knew you guys are working on the set and would probably need those as well. I was glad to get them.

That Konetchy is a tough one...Jerry

I don't remember where I got these scans, but I saved them specifically to answer this question!!
