REA is open

Looks like another low grade T207 Lowdermilk Cycle (although the one in the last auction had a bit more eye appeal).

Can anyone explain the grade on this one? Big gash above Wagner's shoulder that presents as paper loss. Yet the card is still graded a 4?

Very strange. Wonder if it was damaged while it was being slabbed, and they just shrugged their shoulders.

That, or a grader just missed it or thought it was a print defect are the two most logical assumptions I can think of. Nice card other than that though.

Agreed. Interestingly, the description was just edited to add the following: "A small area of surface wear to the right of Wagner's head is visible."

Great auction but I am more intrigued by a JK sighting. Hope all is well for you.....long time no see.

Thanks Leon - all is well. Hope all is well with you also. Still lurk around a bit, but with kids getting older (one is now only a year away from college) collecting has unfortunately been the piece of the pie that has had to take a back seat. Don't worry though, I will continue to pop up every now and then : )

It seems a little odd to me that a number of auction houses are running auctions at nearly the same time the National is going on. Is this unusual, or has this been the way in the past and it never struck me?
